Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As someone who loves a good science fiction story with a psychological twist, I couldn't put down Contact by Joshua T. Calvert. Suehyla El-Attar Young's narration was phenomenal, especially her portrayal of the protagonist's isolation and mental struggles. I found myself drawn into the narrative, feeling the coldness of space and the weight of Tindall's loneliness. However, I did feel that the pacing could have been more dynamic in the middle section, where it seemed to drag a bit. Despite this, the ending was worth the wait, delivering a satisfying and unexpected resolution. Overall, Contact is a gripping tale of survival and discovery that any sci-fi fan should add to their audiobook list.
