Echoes of Extinction

Echoes of Extinction, Book 1

By: D. Ward Cornell

Narrated by: Paul Heitsch

A vicious predatory alien alliance. An advanced alien civilization on the edge of extinction. An Afghanistan war veteran operating a solar farm in the desert.

When Kyle Wimberly, the hands-on president of Full Cycle Solar, Inc., investigates a unit failure, he finds an alien shuttle has crashed into it. The shuttle's captain is grievously injured, his crew dead. Then, to Kyle's surprise, the captain asks for help, speaking perfect English.

Kyle and colleague Alexandra Reyes carry the captain to the shuttle's medical bay for treatment by its auto-doc. This simple act of compassion launches the two down a path that will change their lives and the world forever.

From bestselling author D. Ward Cornell comes a new tale of human ingenuity, alien conflict, and one man's struggle to lead a reluctant world to preparedness, despite the personal and political barriers in his way.

A well performed well told captivating story

This is top shelf storytelling - imaginative compelling and gripping. The best first contact story I’ve bought.

it was free

I listened to the whole thing, I wanted it to be good, the author was trying, I have nothing else positive to say

Decent

My biggest gripe is with a bunch of characters that are veterans not considering site security a #1 priority BEFORE blasting everything over the airwaves.

Classic brainy hard sci fi

At least the female characters also serve in the military and politics and don’t just serve as love interests for the main character, but otherwise they don’t pass the Bechdel test.

OUTSTANDING

A fantastic book and look forward to what’s next! Had me hooked from the very beginning!! Please take the time to listen, you won’t be disappointed!
