Publisher's Summary

Find the missing. Fear the found.

Three months have passed since the aliens' arrival, but little has changed in the skies. Motherships still hover, impervious to attack and communication. Spherical shuttles ferry about with unclear intentions. But the abductions of select humans have ended, and most of those taken have been returned - dazed, incoherent, and prophesying glory or doom, but home where they belong.

Still, nine seemingly unconnected people remain missing.

Trapped in their besieged bunker outside Vail, Piper, Trevor, Lila, and Heather wait for one.

All of this has happened before....

For his entire life, Benjamin Bannister has sought the connections uniting the planet's ancient wonders. And for years he's pursued evidence that extraterrestrial life isn't new to Earth. For years he was dismissed as a fool. Now the spheres have arrived, and Benjamin has found vindication...along with troubling theories. His research facility rests on a paranormal hotspot in Moab, Utah - but Vail, Colorado is where his interests lie. He's sent an emissary to Meyer Dempsey's ranch to find out what makes the Missing Nine so special to the planet's invaders. What news will those nine bring when they return? And what, as the motherships again move like pieces finding positions on a chessboard, will happen next?

And...it will all happen again.

Vail and Moab, Moab and Vail - two epicenters in the cold alien war. The locations' fates seem somehow intertwined as Earth's clock ticks toward midnight. The roads and communications have been closed, but now it seems that the planet's future might depend on a journey from one to the other, no matter the cost. Humanity must find the value of those who have been taken...or become mere fossil evidence for future archaeologists to puzzle over.

pretty amazeballs

Performance 5+++. Ray Porter should pretty much do all books. Story excellent too but have stopped handing out 5s because now and then there's something truly exceptional and the highest award if 5. So 4 means I very much enjoyed it and it would be a 5 but there's nothing higher than 5. Seriously, it's a good story and I can't wait to start the next in the series.

Great book

I’m compelled to get the next book and to keep reading. It’s a bit slow going but I can feel it building. I just want the Alien story to start. I really like this guy narrating, it’s a good voice to have between your ears for so many hours. I have read other book with this guy narrating and I’ll find others after this book.

I lost the plot

Would you try another book written by Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant or narrated by Ray Porter?

No I'm done

What was most disappointing about Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant ’s story?

Contact is such a poor title, more like, contactless! I wanted to know who these aliens were, why they were here, what were we doing about it, anything that would keep me listening... by the end of the book I had to ask myself why I was still listening

Have you listened to any of Ray Porter’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Only the previous book, and he did a great job

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Hope...a hope that it would get to the point of the story

Any additional comments?

Change the titles..book one should be "Road trip from chaos" and book two, " Bunker living in the age of unknown aliens".
