In the farthest reaches of the universe, in places our eyes have yet to behold, lurks the unknown. We search for life that we have dubbed ‘alien’ in hopes of making contact and bettering our existence through alliances with life forms from other worlds. Are they out there? Do they know we exist? Seeking to know more – to learn from what is beyond our grasp – we search the deep, dark void of outer space, waiting for someone or something to communicate with us. But, when that signal comes, will we be ready? Will we dance with rapture when we receive Signals From The Void? TABLE OF CONTENTS From the Sky, Came Thunder By R. M.

Signals from the Void Reviews

  • Voss Foster

    I would love to tell you this book is gilded in literary genius, that it's a book everyone has to read. In good conscience, though, I can't. It's not terrible, but you'll find yourself weeding through stories that simply shouldn't have made the cut. That said, every story has at least a bit of merit, whether the unique (if ill-executed) concept of feathers as fuel, played to mediocre comic effect, the strong foreshadowing of a race of near humanoids (although nothing else to speak of for redemption in the story) or the utter and complete brilliance of a story like "In Her Eyes, the Skies", which I still hold as one of the greatest sci-fi shorts I've come across from a modern author.

    Of course, there is a level of comedy superbly executed as well, mainly presented through "Tri-Copier 6000XT" and the antics of its main character, Dylan. The ending will leave you a little unsure, but all the more in love with Dylan.

    My suggestion? Buy it (especially since it helps SETI), but buy the ebook.
