Message from Inner Space

When Earth Has Had Enough

By: John Landrine

Narrated by: Marc Glave

Message from Inner Space, is a chilling, end-of-the-world story of an impending ELE, but not from a comet or asteroid—from within. Physics PhD., Dr. Hope Leanders and her colleagues at SETI, detect a reoccurring signal that seemed to be coming from outer space. After further investigation, they find that the signal actually emanates from Earth, travels into space, then ricochets back to the ground, making it appear to come from space.

The signal is coming from below the earth’s surface on a small ranch 14 kilometers west of Karbala, Iraq, in the area known as the Cradle of Civilization. Advanced ground-penetrating radar searches conclude that there is nothing there; no machinery or anything artificial. As difficult it is for authorities to believe, the sounds are simply coming from the ground; caused by huge rocks, rapidly vibrating and banging against each other, producing a distinct pattern of banging and thumping.

A multinational group of scientists from around the world discover that the methodical banging is similar to original Morse code, and translates to an ancient language, possibly Tamil. Upon deciphering the message, they find that the message is coming from earth; the planet Earth itself. After a period of distress, denial and disbelief, humans rush to learn to communicate with the big blue marble to uncover what Earth has to say. Earth’s message to the human race sends civilization into a worldwide panic-induced pandemonium like never seen before.

A terrifyingly believable warning for humans

From the very first words to the very last, this story hits all the right chords in establishing a modern timeline, smart characters, and whole-world catastrophe that must be resolved before every human on the planet will cease to exist. When a multi-national agency is formed to deal with the situation, our main characters find themselves amidst government plots, cover-ups, and a media circus unwilling to listen to the hard truths. With well-defined characters expertly brought to life by Marc Glave, we embark on a frantic and desperate struggle to save ourselves from the Earth beneath our feet. Little hints of Star Trek, Don't Look Up, and The Happening keep us entertained and constantly questioning what we would do in this event.

Not bad.

Pretty decent sci-fi. Feels influenced by The Sphere. Overall a pretty entertaining listen especially if you can grab it while it's on sale.

This is too real! Easily deserves a Hugo Award!

Message from Inner Space; When Earth Has Had Enough is a smash hit! The writing is spot on, eloquent and realistic. It brings the characters and the situation to life. I mean, you feel like you know them. You watch as the main character, the little doctor Hope, grows up and develops into someone else. One of my favorites was the bad-a** no-nonsense female president of the US. We need her now. I had read this book already, so I was already a fan. I thought I'd just take a quick listen to see what the audio sounded like. That was it. I was hooked. Hearing them come to life was like watching a movie. I've done a lot of audio books, but Message from Inner Space by John Landrine and narrated by Marc Glave was meant to be heard and eventually enjoyed on the big screen. The team of John Landrine and Marc Glave are easily the heirs-apparent to the title of best duo in audio. Move over Nathan Hystad and the great R.C. Bray. Debut sci-fi writer John Landrine and new performer Marc Glave have taken the torch!

Amazing Story!

What happens when Earth fights back? Buy this book and find out! I'm not usually a science fiction fan, but Hope and John's story just sucked me right in. I loved going on this thrilling and sometimes scary adventure. Loved the relationship and conversations between Hope and John. I could not put it down! It's extremely well written and I really hope to see more from this author. The narrator did a fantastic job of making the story come alive. Highly recommend!

An Incredible Sci-Fi Adventure

"Message From Inner Space: When Earth Has Had Enough" by John Landrine is an absolutely mind-blowing sci-fi novel! Physics PhD. Dr. Hope Leanders and her team at SETI are perplexed by a reoccurring loud signal that seems to be coming from outer space. Come to find out, it's actually coming from underneath the Earth's surface! Scientists from all over the world are now rushing to figure out what the Earth is trying to communicate to them before it's too late to save them all.

What a thrilling and thought-provoking concept! The scariest part, in my opinion, is that I can actually imagine this happening in the future. This story is so engaging, and the setting is so intense and descriptive that I felt like I was right there alongside the characters. The sense of panic they felt is so realistic; it's a natural reaction to our survival being in jeopardy (such as during the pandemic in 2020). This story makes you think twice about how we take care of our environment.

I am impressed by the rich character development and their relatability. The author does a great job showcasing their emotions and authenticity. They learned to reach out to each other and find out how to solve an unfathomable and deadly situation. I could picture their feelings of helplessness while at the same time gaining strength from each other and, ultimately, hope. How else can you expect to survive if not for the support and problem-solving skills from the people around you? This is exactly what Dr. Hope Leanders, her colleagues, family, and scientists from all over the world had to do. She was the heroine at the center of this story and teaches us what it means to be courageous, focused, caring, hopeful, and resilient.

I highly recommend this novel to all sci-fi enthusiasts everywhere.
