The
alternate history first contact adventure Axiom's End is an extraordinary debut
from Hugo finalist and video essayist Lindsay Ellis.
Truth
is a human right.
It’s fall 2007. A well-timed
leak has revealed that the US government might have engaged in first contact.
Cora Sabino is doing everything she can to avoid the whole mess, since the
force driving the controversy is her whistleblower father. Even though Cora
hasn’t spoken to him in years, his celebrity has caught the attention of the
press, the Internet, the paparazzi, and the government―and with him in hiding,
that attention is on her. She neither knows nor cares whether her father’s
leaks are a hoax, and wants nothing to do with him―until she learns just how
deeply entrenched her family is in the cover-up, and that an extraterrestrial
presence has been on Earth for decades.
Realizing the extent to which
both she and the public have been lied to, she sets out to gather as much
information as she can, and finds that the best way for her to uncover the
truth is not as a whistleblower, but as an intermediary. The alien presence has
been completely uncommunicative until she convinces one of them that she can
act as their interpreter, becoming the first and only human vessel of
communication. Their otherworldly connection will change everything she thought
she knew about being human―and could unleash a force more sinister than she
ever imagined.
