Semiosis: A novel of first contact Audiobook (Free)

‘Up there with the best of Le Guin in terms of beautiful, engrossing, brilliantly thought sci-fi’

VULTURE

‘SEMIOSIS combines the world-building of Avatar with the alien wonder of Arrival, and the sheer mankind of Atwood. An essential work for our period’

STEPHEN BAXTER

NOMINATED FOR THE ARTHUR C. CLARKE Honor

Escaping conflict on Earth, an idealistic group of settlers appear on the distant planet – Pax – with programs for an ideal society.

The world they discover is rich with life, but this is not the Eden they were longing for. The plants on Pax are wise – wise enough to domesticate, and even slaughter, its many extraordinary animals.

To survive, the colonists realize that they must strike discounts of their personal. But if they are to make Pax their house, they must go further, looking for a way to connect and coexist with these absolutely alien intelligences.
