“TRANSMISSION is riveting, unexpected, and firmly rooted in strong psychological profiles backed with thriller and sci-fi elements: what more could readers wish for? (Just the quick publication of Book Two, Arrival.)”
--Midwest Book Review
The #1 Bestseller!

From #1 worldwide bestselling fantasy author Morgan Rice comes a long-anticipated science fiction series debut. When SETI finally receives a signal from an alien civilization, what will happen next?

A 13 year old boy, dying of a rare brain disease, is the only one able to hear and decode signals from outer space. SETI confirms it is a real signal.

What is the message? How will the world react?

And most of all: are the aliens coming?

“Action-packed …. Rice’s writing is solid and the premise intriguing.”
–Publishers Weekly, re A Quest of Heroes

“A superior fantasy… A recommended winner for any who enjoy epic fantasy writing fueled by powerful, believable young adult protagonists.”
–Midwest Book Review, re Rise of the Dragons

“An action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels, along with fans of works such as THE INHERITANCE CYCLE by Christopher Paolini…. Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.”
–The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (regarding Rise of the Dragons)

Book #2 in the series—ARRIVAL—is also available!

Not a bad SciFi

Reviewed in Australia on 28 August 2019

Verified Purchase

If you're looking for an action packed sci-fi then this is not the book for you.

Rather enjoyed the build up and plot twists, setting up other books on the series beautifully.

Easy to read and targetted at the younger readers.

First two in the series could be one book

Reviewed in Australia on 14 February 2019

Verified Purchase

The story is good. Writing too. BUT why split this into a series of books when, being relatively short, the first two and I suspect the third in the series could be ONE book. To me it’s just a mean way to make readers pay more if you get my drift and to make the author and Mr. Buzos even more......

That’s why it only gets two stars.

Geared towards adolescents

Reviewed in Australia on 8 August 2021

Concept was interesting, but writing and depth of the content is best suited to adolescent readers. My first read from this author.

Won't be reading books 2, 3, probably more!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Oh dear - I can only take so much fantasy. Of all the billions of earth's inhabitants, only a very sick 13 year old (from the USA of course!) can understand the messages coming from space. That would possibly be OK but then together with his equally young girlfriend they turn into a pair of James Bonds to save the world from the nasty aliens.

Quite often in the course of reading this story, I found myself shaking my head in sheer disbelief at the endless talents of Kevin and Luna and thought seriously about aborting. Although I made it to the end of book 1 of The Invasion Chronicles, I will most definitely not be reading books 2 and 3 and who knows how many more "episodes" the author plans.

Quite honestly, I think this book should be classified as a child's book.

Not that thrilling

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2018

Verified Purchase

I found the concept somewhat interesting but the execution lacking. The writing is of a decent quality but not inspiring. My key issue with this book is that the central character, a 13 year old boy with an incurable brain condition, manages to get himself believed by various authorities. The mechanism provided for gaining credibility is one of making predictions that come true a few seconds later. The feature that makes this mechanism less than credible is that these predictions seem to come through exactly when they are needed.

This isn't a bad book but it is certainly not a great one. My view is that the plot relies too much on events that happen at the critical point rather than any really strong plot line. It's an OK read. An issue could be that I'm not a member of its intended audience but even this does not not convince me that I am being over harsh.

Sci-fi is Not This Author's Genre

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2019

Verified Purchase

I was attracted to this title by the concept, which kept me reading until about the 60% mark. (I manage to finish nine out of ten books.) At that point I gave up as I had become frustrated with:

1) Instances of poor word choice; (get a better editor).
2) No proffered scientific explanations by strangely accepting scientists from two of the world's foremost authorities, (SETI and NASA).
3) Cardboard cut-out characters
4) Author tries too hard to make the 13 year-old MC, Kevin, 'likeable'. He's a walking, talking set of virtues.
5) Repetition of key points of the story.
6) The writing was limited, lacking richness and verve.

It's hard to believe the author is bestselling. Maybe fantasy is her forte rather than sci-fi.

Different, but a predictable ending!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 September 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the first time I've read anything by this author. It started well, and you felt compassion for Kevin and his Mum for all that they were going through and the way they handled it. Loved Kevin's stalwart friend Luna, what a feisty young lady! Loved Ted the big, slightly gruff undercover security guy - one to have at your side in a crisis! As the story unrolled you could appreciate how life gets twisted by circumstances, even though you have the best of intentions, and the ramifications for Kevin and his Mum really put them through the wringer. Towards the end it did become a little bit predicable as amateur science fiction and vapour exuding rock took centre stage. Left on a cliff-hanger for the next book, will they, won't they survive .......

Not bad but let down by reality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 September 2018

Verified Purchase

I really started to enjoy this book because it gave me the feeling I had when I was younger and I thought I had a special conduit in my head to be able to talk to aliens.

The way it was written from the point of view of a 13 year old was really good and I enjoyed that part of it.

The problem happens when the story got to a point where it would be unfeasible for the action to turn out like the book described, it was as though the story was written by a 13 year old who didn't know things like proper safety procedure, military or academic requirements etc but apart from that it was a reasonably fun read. It felt more like a teen novel than an adult novel
