Axiom's End
Just finished reading "Axiom's End" by Lindsay Ellis, released by St. Martin's Press.
For her first novel, Lindsay Ellis has written a rather compelling take on the Fermi Paradox and a cautionary tale about the pit falls of First Contact and human expectations.
"Axiom's End" is a alternative history set in 2007, where Cora Sabino is trying to recover from the wreckage that her whistle-blower father has made out of her life when she discovers her worst paranoid fears her true - she is being followed by government agents and oh, yes, it seems her rather was right about aliens landing on Earth - only not for the tea-cosy reasons that he could have imagined.
Intelligent life is rare in the universe and Humanity is in danger of being made extinct by a race that sees it nothing more than a threat to it's existence by merely existing. Against her will and in a desperate bid to learn the fate of her mother, brother, and sister, Cora becomes an interpreter for her alien captor/savior who just may hold the key to Humanity's survival - if first she can survive being a bridge between both worlds.
A deft novel.
Strongly Recommended.
Five Stars.
