Book description
Fluency by Jennifer Foehner Wells: A Linguist's Space Odyssey
Let's be honest - when you hear "alien encounter story," you probably think you've heard every possible variation. Dinosaurs in spaceships, sure. Teenagers saving the galaxy, absolutely. But a linguist getting drafted to chat with cosmic entities? Now that's refreshingly weird.
Dr. Jane Holloway's day job involves documenting languages that nobody speaks anymore, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry in slow motion. Then NASA shows up and ruins her comfortable academic existence by inviting her to decode alien chatter. Because obviously, when you find a mysterious spaceship hanging out in the asteroid belt, the first thing you need is someone who can conjugate verbs in extinct tongues.
Turns out the alien ship has been playing dead for decades while NASA figured out how to reach it. Oops. But Jane's real shocker comes when the ship starts talking directly into her brain with what can only be described as the universe's most awkward welcome message: "You are home." Try explaining that to your boss.
What follows is part linguistic puzzle, part survival thriller, and part "please don't kill us, we come in peace" diplomacy. Jane finds herself caught between her colleagues' growing paranoia and an alien presence that seems genuinely confused about why everyone's so jumpy. It's like being the translator at a really tense family reunion, except the family is from another planet and keeps making your head hurt.
Wells, who apparently spent her childhood in rural Illinois dreaming of ray guns and rocket ships, delivers exactly the kind of thoughtful science fiction that makes you glad audiobooks exist. This isn't your typical shoot-first-ask-questions-later space adventure. It's more like shoot-questions-first-ask-later-oh-wait-we're-all-going-to-die. But in a good way.
The real magic happens when Jane realizes that understanding alien communication might be the difference between humanity's survival and becoming space junk. Who knew that all those years of studying dead languages would prepare her for talking to the undead... I mean, the alien... I mean, whatever this thing is.
Perfect for listeners who enjoy their science fiction with a side of linguistic analysis and their alien encounters with a healthy dose of existential dread.
