About this listen

The stars have been disappearing from the night sky.

The Cael Navalis, sentient starships long thought to be merely legend, have returned from the dwindling stars and said the universe itself was dying. Those reluctant harbingers also brought a hope - a pinhole into a parallel reality that they might turn into a doorway. And through that door was a blue-green world they could call home - but it has life, for what else made the lights that twinkle in the darkness? Will they accept them, or seek to destroy them?

Cardem, the civilian leader of Stolica, thinks he can strike up peace no matter their response. Across the planet, Haldron, bolstered by a heavily-armed Cael Navalis, won’t leave those under his protection to the whims of whatever calls that planet home.

Arthur Dugan, an Australian scientist, has made his career studying a source of cosmic radiation he’s named 'The Light'. It has remained constant, just between the Earth and the moon, for the years he's been studying it. But when "The Light" goes out, he couldn’t have guessed it would return, or with whom.

From Western Australia, to Texas, to DC, this well written story can easily be made into a motion picture. I felt like I was there with the characters the entire way.

The narrator was great! He had to vocalize many characters and accents.

An important reflection on real life issues was a great topper to this journey.
