About this listen

Anomaly examines the prospect of an alien intelligence discovering life on Earth. The technological gulf between humanity and the alien species is measured in terms of millions of years. The only way to communicate is using science, but not everyone is so patient.

Humanity's first contact with an alien intelligence is far more radical than anyone has ever dared imagine. With a technological gap of millions of years, mankind is barely able to recognize the arrival of an alien space craft outside the gates of the United Nations in New York.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I hope it gets made into a movie. I will definitely listen to another Peter Cawdron book

Wonderful story. Gripping to the end.

A little ‘simple’ for a seasoned SF fan. Several extended descriptive scenes not taking the story forward. A more critical editor may have sharpened the story up.

Nervous handling of protagonist backstories. Gets better later in book as the story assumes a life of its own in the authors mind.

Great interpretation of a first contact story.

Thoroughly enjoyed, great as a standalone, had cute moments and no random twists. Worth a listen.

Great knowledge-centric scifi

Not your run of the mill si-fi story. Follow a grade school teacher as he’s catapulted way, way out of his depth into a bunch of NASA boffins scratching their heads at THE ANOMALY. A great read.

Loved it!

The narrator P.J. Ochlan, did such an amazing work with all the characters voices in this absolutely beautiful book. I highly recommend this awesome book. Love it.

An education into being a better human being.

The central character spends a lot of time talking to the reader as if he/she were one of the kids he teaches. Patronising too. I felt it was trying too hard to be like Carl Sagan's Contact.

Pedantic
