It takes on big issues: the reliability of memory, the price of childhood fame, the ways adults use children for their own purposes. It’s also a book about aliens, geared for terrestrials. Which is to say it’s complex and human, anchored by a beating heart.”—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eJoshua Henkin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWhen the Signal—a mysterious transmission pulsing from the edge of the solar system— arrives, the world changes overnight. Planes are grounded, satellites fail, and speculation abounds. With many believing this could be first contact with extraterrestrial life, humanity holds its breath. But for Alex, a thirtysomething lawyer who’s spent years distancing himself from the unexplainable, the Signal feels deeply personal—the opening of an old wound.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eDecades ago, Alex and a girl named Ana both vanished for thirty-six hours while on vacation near Palm Springs. When they returned, dazed but unharmed, the six-year-olds’ account of their experience had all the hallmarks of an alien abduction. The media frenzy that followed made them famous, and the long months of child stardom, of talk shows and sitcom cameos, forged a seemingly unbreakable bond between them—until the mystery behind their disappearance began to tear them apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eNow, with the world on edge and the Signal growing stronger, Alex is drawn back to the one person who might have answers. Ana—now a professional advocate for experiencers of extraterrestrial contact—is leading a retreat near Palm Springs, a stone’s throw from the site of their childhood disappearance. As the former best friends tentatively reunite, what starts as a quest to confront the reality of their original experience becomes a larger reckoning with friendship, faith, family, and truth itself—what it means to see the stories we tell ourselves for what they really are.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eWith the imaginative scope and propulsive storytelling of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eStation Eleven\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Ministry of Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eVoyagers \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eis a thrillingly original and brilliantly ambitious literary debut about friendship at the end of the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frames Etc ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62824800944287,"sku":"168506255024","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/9450\/5119\/files\/IMG_8811.jpg?v=1783112213","url":"https:\/\/www.framesetc.net\/products\/voyagers-meg-charlton-harper-collins","provider":"Frames Etc ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
