Summary
First contact. Star traveling humans. Pre-industrial aliens. Ship's mechanic, Nick Barns, is temporarily transferred to the research vessel Discovery. His job, to keep the ship in orbit, and its three scientists alive. A job that is becoming harder due to repeated sabotage.
Xeno-sociologist Amanda Rogers' dreams have come true. Humans have finally found an intelligent species. They may be primitives, barely out of their own bronze age. The last thing these Eundai need is to be overwhelmed with human technology. History is filled with examples of primitive cultures being ruined after initial contact. It is her job to make sure that doesn't happen.
Priorities change when the four humans are forced down to the planet's surface. Staying alive long enough to get rescued is now the most important thing in their lives. A task that may not be possible.

Excellent first encounter.
I truly love how the author Nate Johnson writing is simple to understand unlike others who make you crazy braking your brain to understand what’s going on and he does it beautifully.
The thing is that on Goodreads this is book number two of the trilogy which makes no sense because this one is a First Contract book but on the first book of the trilogy ‘ Drake’s Rift ‘ which is excellent and also written beautifully but is all about a war against the aliens which we supposably first come in contact on book two ‘ Discovery ‘ , maybe the third of the trilogy will make sense of it all ?
About the book it was fun easy and very simple to understand, the author sure knows how to pull you in and keep you there all the way to the ending !
Excellent Narration by Dan Purcell wraps the whole thing into a perfect audio package !

Not bad
This was from the ‘Included’ catalogue. Not a bad tale, although not outstanding it was entertaining enough. My main gripe was the narration for the audio version. The reader seemed to keep getting stuck on some words, which distracted me from being fully immersed in the story.
On balance it’s worth 3 stars because it didn’t cost me a credit.
