Mimas Prime

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Four months ago, a signal left a living moon of Saturn, and forty-two worlds answered. Then one of them went dark. At a listening station on Earth's moon, signal analyst Amara Velasquez has worked out what the silence means, and for eight weeks she has softened it in every report. The thing that erased that world did not attack it. It found the people there who were carrying something enormous alone, and it waited. Now the team that made first contact is coming home to a humanity already fighting over who gets to hold what was given. Elena Kade is called the architect of first contact, and she is learning how much she wants the title. Celia Ward spent thirty years building the walls and must now testify to what they cost. A commander, a linguist, and an engineer each carry one old failure they have never said aloud. Against them stands no villain. There is only a careful, decent, frightened movement that believes humanity is not ready, and it may be partly right. As a second world goes dark and the line between them points toward Earth, six people must decide whether a gift can be protected by keeping it, or only by giving it away. Mimas Prime: The Receiving World is the second book of The Prime Chronicles. It is a first-contact novel about honesty, shared burdens, and the cost of receiving what you did not earn.
