Six-time Hugo Award-winner Ben Bova chronicles the saga of humankind's expansion beyond the solar system.

In Ben Bova's previous novel, New Earth, Jordan Kell led the first human mission beyond the solar system, where they discovered the ruins of an ancient alien civilization. But one alien AI survived, and it revealed to Jordan Kell that an explosion in the black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy has created a wave of deadly radiation, expanding out from the core toward Earth. Unless the human race acts to save itself, all life on Earth will be wiped out.

When Kell and his team return to Earth many years after their departure, they find that their world has changed almost beyond recognition. Not only has a second wave of greenhouse flooding caused sea levels to rise, but society has been changed by the consequences of the climate shift. Few people want to face Jordan Kell's news. He must convince Earth's new rulers that the human race is in danger of extinction unless it acts to forestall the death wave coming from the galaxy's heart.

I love the story except one glaring flaw. Why would a super advanced civilization depend on earth to rescue other civilizations across the Milky Way? Why would the robots who created them not step in. I’ll continue to listen. Maybe some one will come to the rescue!

based on the female characters lack of independence and the sexist gender roles I kept thinking this was of the same vintage as the foundation series I just listened to. nope, work of modern art.

kept thinking this was written in the 50s

The story has to much political mess but is true.
Not enough technology and true Aliens.

Stephan Rudnicki shines as always. From my first exposure to him in Ender's Game he has been a favorite reader of mine.

Performance top notch
