This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

The Schouk-tai have bioengineered themselves into a corner and are now looking for a way to save themselves from extinction.

Having come up empty at every turn, as their last hope, they have decided to attempt the unthinkable; make direct contact with a few known sentient alien species in hopes of recruiting help in their search for answers.

Two human scientists, Dr. Zhang Wei and Dr. Miles Stephens, are among those targeted for contact.

Can the alien emissaries convince their human counterparts that they can be trusted?

Join the crew of the Questare ship, The Hope, as they put their lives on the line for the survival of their species.
