Mimas Prime

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Humanity has heard from the stars, and it has not yet decided what to do about it. Fourteen months after first contact, forty worlds are still answering and two have gone dark. Linguist Lian Zhou is reading the oldest layer of the signal when she finds something she cannot translate. It is not a sentence. It is an act. Nine times, something was set down at the edge of everything and never taken back. To understand it she sends for the last person who wants to come: Dr. Sarah Okonkwo, an anthropologist who has spent thirty-one years studying why people give up what they love, and who believes in none of it. What they find together will not stay in one room. A frightened system starts asking what kind of thing gives everything and asks for nothing. Some call it a trap. A motion is raised to seal the network for good. And the people who first carried the Light home each face a door of their own: a commander at a dock that will not open, an engineer who never learned the names, a former director with a memory she has never given anyone, and a small platform near Mars that is running out of air. The Given World brings The Prime Chronicles to its close. It is a story about a gift nobody earned, the people who feared it, and what ordinary men and women begin to do once they have received it.
