Meg Charlton: Voyagers, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A story of fame, friendship and conspiracy, and the possibility of life beyond Earth

When the Signal - a strange and disruptive transmission broadcasting from somewhere near Pluto, for which no government claims responsibility - raises the spectre of real First Contact with aliens, Alex realises there's no one he'd rather be with at the potential apocalypse than Ana.

Because when they were 6 years old, Ana and Alex were abducted by aliens. Or at least, that's what they told the rescuers who found them after their 36 hours missing in Palm Springs, and the story they stuck to as they became minor child stars.

But as teenagers, their divergence in belief about what happened that day severed their friendship. Now, as the Signal grows louder and starts affecting electronics, grounds planes, and the world devolves into chaos, the two race to meet each other for one final reckoning, and to uncover what really happened to them as kids.

Lean and deftly told, Voyagers is a profoundly human story about friendship, truth and memory from a major new literary voice.
