I was super excited to dive into First Contact by Kim Harrison. This is the first audiobook in the Eclipsed Evolution trilogy released on audio first. Narrated by Xe Sands, Harrison explores our first contact with a paranormal realm. A riveting story that fed my inner nerd with rich characters. I cannot wait for more!
Wow, this was fantastic. Harrison not only introduced us to a paranormal alien species, but shared the shark contrast between scientists and military reactions and attitudes.
At just under six hours, this was a tight, engaging tale. We meet Dr. Renee Caisson, who is studying the "Neighbors," for contagions that might impact humans. I immediately liked Renee, who admits to a questionable past. She quickly comes to understand and respect these intelligent creatures, who only wish to find plants to save their planet. I loved watching them interact with each other as Renee attempts to communicate.
The Neighbors are highly intelligent, with abilities beyond our scope and are not aggressive. In contrast, the military has them caged, and are performing tests. There is a romance, but it is secondary to the story. It involves humans and added layers to the characters. I would say it is character driven story, as the focus is Renee's engagement with the leader of the Neighbors.
Xe Sands is a wonderful narrator, and I quite enjoyed her voices and tone. This is an audio first trilogy, the books won't release until summer.
