The Object

A Novel

De: Joshua T. Calvert

Narrado por: Nicol Zanzarella

Deep space holds secrets…

…and one astronomer for NASA has found a big one.

But it's not what she thinks.

Dr. Melody Adams, a physicist at the Gemini North Observatory, was studying Pluto in the telescope data, and it struck her as odd. The numbers didn't make sense. Could there be an extraterrestrial object in our solar system?

She followed protocol.

The scientific community didn't believe her.

And before she knew what happened, her career was over.

The day that changed Melody's life was like any other over the previous two years. She'd found she had a gift for writing, and her career as an author had almost healed the pain of losing her job. When the Secret Service rang her bell, everything changed.

Something was nearing Saturn…

…and it was slowing down.

Had she been right about the object?

You'll love this hard science fiction novel because Melody is about to find out that everything she knew about space and time was wrong.

Good story, wish it went further

This story started a little slow and I was unsure if I would like it. But it clicked and was worth the read. Fascinating concept and one not too far off reality. Only part that was not realistic was the stupidity with which the crew entered Serenity. People that undisciplined would never have been chosen for the mission.

Just the best

wonderfully entertaining in all aspects. A great story theme written in a way to keep the reader interested throughout. A sensational imagination connected to expert knowledge of the subject.
Maybe the best SFi book I've ever rea and I've read thousands.

Chick book. Couldn't finish it.

More about emotions than hard science. Soap opera feel. Thought it be like to Arthur c Clark's Rama. Chapter four and The Object is barely mentioned.

Visitors to our solar system

It was a good listen. I like the narrator and the story. Was not super exciting but it held my attention and I like the end.

Very Original and Thought Provoking Story

Very mature and thoughtful story, in addition to great writing. The type of book that stays with you for days after you finish it.

umpteen times.

the only problem I have with this story, besides the fact that it's a little slow, is that the author insists on using the phrase "umpteen times",... well, umpteen times. lol bad editing I guess. the story is fine though.

Really cool story, glad I tried it out!

Not your typical space opera, pretty unique twist on… well, I won’t spoil it for you. 😎

Thought provoking

Interesting read. Great idea and loved how the story unfolded. The end felt a bit rushed after the long wait to uncover the mystery of The Object. But I really enjoyed this book.

excellent performance!

A solid story matched by a wonderful performance. I loved the use of current discovery to fashion this "what-if" fiction.

Imaginative story well read

Enjoyed the flow of the content and the way it was woven together. I give it a thumbs up.
