Cold Eyes is an original First Contact novel, written as a tribute to the 1974 science fiction classic, The Mote in God's Eye, by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.

The UN warship Magellan is twelve light-years from Earth, exploring a cold eye, a tidally locked super-Earth called Bee. At least two advanced intelligent species evolved on the planet, but the crew's attempts at radio communication result in garbled replies. No one is waiting for them in orbit. The crew has to figure out why. Any misunderstandings could lead to war.

This was the last of the first contact instalment that I've yet to listen to. I enjoyed this the most and Dalle was an incredibly relatable fun character to follow along on the adventure. I also think the message here is well crafted for modern context, its easy for old wisdoms to lose their potency as the tools of understanding change over time... I think Cold Eye serves as an excellent "recasting" of the ancient great wisdoms for navigating the emergent game theoretic multi-polar traps present in large social groups.
