About this audiobook
When veteran systems specialist Rachel Chandler accepts a posting to Hellos Station, a remote deep-space listening post stationed beyond the Moon, she expects isolation, long shifts, and the endless routine of keeping humanity's most advanced technology running.
What she finds instead is a mystery.
A strange signal appears in the station's deep-space array. An advanced artificial intelligence begins exhibiting behavior no one can explain. Disturbing dreams blur the line between perception and reality. As uncertainty spreads through both machine and human minds, Rachel discovers that some questions cannot be answered by science alone.
Far from Earth and separated by millions of miles of silence, the crew of Hellos Station must confront an impossible possibility: they may not be alone in the universe, and whatever has noticed them may already be reaching back.
