good YA book for adolescents and adults

This is a good book for adolescents and adults alike. Adults should listen to what children of all ages have to say Some of it may just be useful. I enjoyed listening to it on audible. The speaker does a good job.

Enjoyable & Refreshing

I wouldn't put this in the "thriller" category necessarily, but Transmission is definitely an interesting story with some callbacks to classic scifi. I find this nod to the greats, and really the genre as a whole, tasteful and refreshing given the various modern trends out there. Some of the story is predictable and sometimes oddly repetitive, but it definitely captured my imagination and even had me choosing to sit on the sofa listening with my dogs rather than playing Xbox or watching a stream service. Definitely recommend.

A solid YA novel

A unique young adult novel where a young boy with a rare brain condition is the only human on Earth who is receiving messages from an incoming alien race. He then is the only person who can decipher radio signals which set in motion the events which has them racing to understand what all these messages could mean. My only complaint about the book is that this being a young adult novel, it treats all adults as slow and simply not understanding what's really going on, or not believing the children, and the children in the book ALWAYS seem to have all the answers. Still a solid 4 star rating because it's a well thought out plot and story.

Def worth the listen

Can’t wait for part 2!!!! It def gets good really good. Worth the credit imo.

The story line. Suspense

It was exciting to listen to. I could not stop until he end of this book. Bring on the others.

Buckle Up !

I've been struggling with ADD and even listening to a book hasn't been easy. Then, I found this book. The writing is so well done that you can't help but picture the whole thing like your right there. I listened straight through, totally drawn into the story. Think of the movie Independence Day and how exciting it was...yes, that good. This is the first book I've read from this author & I can't wait to check out more. P.S. I really appreciated the life the narrator brought to it as well so checking his stuff out too.

Great story, narration is basic but acceptable.

Great story, narration is fine but average.. there is little voice or tone differences between characters whether male or female.

Once again zombies attack

I enjoyed this book immensely

It starts off quite well and then take that obvious disappointment turned

zombies are among us or something To that effect

But having said that I will still read part two

I was hoping for this to be more on the first contact primus

So almost to the end it became somewhat disappointing

Childhood’s end Is more my speed But that’s unfair judging this by such a minister

A Binge Worthy Book!

A great story that I could not stop listening to. It has some lacking points in character development, but it was a story I could not put down.

classic adolescent science fiction.

recommended for 13 yr olds new to puberty. Pretty good narrator. Predictable story line. Ah to be young again.
