About this ebook

“TRANSMISSION is riveting, unexpected, and firmly rooted in strong psychological profiles backed with thriller and sci-fi elements: what more could readers wish for? (Just the quick publication of Book Two, Arrival.)”

--Midwest Book Review

From #1 worldwide bestselling fantasy author Morgan Rice comes a long-anticipated science fiction series debut. When SETI finally receives a signal from an alien civilization, what will happen next?

A 13 year old boy, dying of a rare brain disease, is the only one able to hear and decode signals from outer space. SETI confirms it is a real signal.

What is the message? How will the world react?

And most of all: are the aliens coming?

“Action-packed …. Rice’s writing is solid and the premise intriguing.”

–Publishers Weekly, re A Quest of Heroes

“A superior fantasy… A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”

–Midwest Book Review, re Rise of the Dragons

“An action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels, along with fans of works such as THE INHERITANCE CYCLE by Christopher Paolini…. Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.”

–The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (regarding Rise of the Dragons)

Not for adults. From a sci-fi afficionado's perspective its a weakly written fast-paced story at best and at worst everything you've ever read before or watched that was good. This includes Lord of the Flies, Lord or the Rings, Star Wars, Star Trek, World War Z, Old Yeller, The 100, and every 70's Walt Disney movie you have ever watched - but not the really good ones. The thought processes of tweens to teens is something this author either doesn't know about, has forgotten or can't get her head around. Too bad. And the science is bad. Trollop.

Love the plot and the characters; the author did a good job building the suspense and then throwing a couple twist in the mix. Without really building on how the main character was the only person in the world capable of hearing what the aliens had to say other than, he has a rare brain disorder that let's him do it, that part of the story didn't seem very believable. Outside of that, it was a good YA read. Just remember, it's written for children, not adults. At least that's the impression I got when reading the story.

Plenty of holes, lack of serious research, childish nonsense and a writer's addiction to "as though". It's a somehow enjoyable fast-reading when you're bored. The general idea is nice - heavily inspired by the classic Bodysnatchers -, but the writing is meh. Moreover, it feels like the first 30min of a 70s sci-fi movie!
