Generation of Vipers

First Contact

By: Peter Cawdron

Narrated by: Gary Tiedemann

Two years have passed since comet Anduru skimmed the clouds of Saturn on its way to Earth.

Kath and Nolan are looking for answers, trying to find ways to protect Earth from the possibility of an invasive alien species overrunning the planet.

The US Presidential Election changes the political landscape. With new, hostile leadership, Kath and Nolan find themselves out of favor. Lies continue to dominate social media. Perhaps the greatest threat doesn't come from the stars. Perhaps there's already a generation of vipers here on Earth.

First Contact is a series of standalone novels that explore humanity's first interactions with extraterrestrial life. Although Generation of Vipers is a sequel to Wherever Seeds May Fall, it can be listened to as a standalone novel.

Very good

This is a very good first contact story with quite a broad cast of characters. It had to pay attention to keep up but that was well worth the effort!

Great hard science fiction

A fun book combining well researched science, moments of tense horror, and interesting political conflicts. I strongly recommend this book if you want a first contact book that covers the high level political responses, the horror on the ground for the people affected, and well researched and explained scientific reasoning.

Imaginative

his ideas are completely extrordinaty. The concepts he introduces in his first contact books ( all of them ) are as individual as the fingerprints on separate humans. I'm on my second listen now. WOW !

Great hard science story.

Great story concept. Told very well and written very well. Take a unique perspective on alien first contact.

Great follow up to Where Seeds May Fall

I am a fan of Peter Cawdron's works, and I actually liked that this novel felt different. After Where Seeds May Fall, I wanted a bit more, but I assumed that like most of his work, there wouldn't be a sequel, but so I was happy to find this.

The performance is great. I think my first exposure to this reader was from the first novel, but he does a really good job bringing the story to life.
