Nine hundred thousand years ago, something annihilated the Amarantin civilization just as it was on the verge of discovering space flight. Now one scientist, Dan Sylveste, will stop at nothing to solve the Amarantin riddle before ancient history repeats itself. With no other resources at his disposal, Sylveste forges a dangerous alliance with the cyborg crew of the starship Nostalgia for Infinity. But as he closes in on the secret, a killer closes in on him because the Amarantin were destroyed for a reason. And if that reason is uncovered, the universe-and reality itself-could be irrevocably altered.

Highly detailed, almost epic. Also quite slow to pick up and certainly not your average paperback blast-the-aliens sci-fi. Recommended if you are into hard sci-fi and/or long story arcs.

Confusing, messy and cringy. A lot might be the narrator, who's terrible. He starts every line extra loud and ends at a whisper, besides being distracting it's annoying if you do anything while listening. You either get a jump scare every new line or can't hear the end of any. Even though he does accents it's disturbing how all of them sound german/french/asian despite his efforts, not improved by the fact that his own voice is that of an older white male, and I can't tell by his manner of speaking what character I'm listening too. He be better off just reading a book in his own voice without "effects" because it's added nothing. All of the narration issues make this story hard to follow, that and the "creative" writing that just jumps you and pulls you out of the scene and flow... Yeah that flow you've struggled to find seeing as the narration doesn't allow you to even gav the slightest inkling of gender for the character is. 🙄

Really good! The plot was really engaging and well paced, new information was revealed at a good rate to keep me curious. This book introduced some really cool concepts to explain the Fermi paradox and the world building was impressive, with an interesting take on what post-humanity could look like. I think what I really liked the most about this book, is that it was really about science - archeology and history as well as physics and technology; it all sounded very realistic, like it could happen!I've deducted one star because 1) the characters felt really lifeless for most (if not all, for some) of the book, with unclear motivations, that made it difficult to care about what happens to them at times (and maybe there were a bit too many of them at the beginning), 2) the narrator was very mediocre, took me a really long time to get used to this flat reading style. It's a shame for this book.
