About this listen

When the evidence points to two realities, which will you believe?

Two astronomers have detected a strange, pulsing signal from deep space. Within hours, the US government goes into lockdown, restricting airspace and scrubbing scientific data. Was the signal an intercepted communication revealing alarming plans for an enemy’s military strike? Or has humanity at long last found proof of extraterrestrial life?

Caught between two mind-blowing possibilities, Dr. Veronica Chapel leaves her job as a high school science teacher to search for answers with her old friend Malcolm Feldman, a determined journalist, and Ada Park, a brilliant astronomer. Oh, and it also happens to be Dr. Chapel's one chance to redeem her destroyed scientific reputation, no pressure...

As the group digs deeper, they uncover layers of mystery that challenge their grasp of the universe and their place in it. With time running out and the world hanging in the balance, they must navigate a tangled web of corporate secrets, government interference, and ethical dilemmas on a high-stakes journey to uncover a truth that will upend our understanding of the cosmos—and ourselves.

The Signal is directed, edited, and scored by Mark Henry Phillips.

Loved the start and the performance of the cast but the ending was a let down. Our main character didn’t really overcome her main character flaw or grow in any meaningful way. The start and even the set up to the end raised some interesting questions so it’s still a good listen. Just a shame as a better ending could have pushed this from good to great.

Strong start, excellent production values and fantastic voice actors.

This started really strong and about halfway through I think it just fell off and went in an admittedly unpredictable direction, but it felt flat. Disappointing ending and it felt a tad preachy

Wasn’t the worst audiobook I’ve listened to this year though

Excellent performance and production

This is a rather short entertaining story, in my opinion this isn't science fiction but rather something like a mystery or a simple fiction. The ending can't keep up with the good start and felt a bit stale.
Overall ok to listen to when a part of your mind is occupied with other tasks.

Entertaining story, solid voice actors
