"Agonizing and mesmerizing, a devastating and extraordinary achievement."-The New York Times
"Magnificent. . . . A science fiction action juggernaut."-Tamsyn Muir
"Anna, I came to Earth tracking a very old story, a story that goes back to the dawn of time. It's very unlikely that you'll die right now. It wouldn't be narratively complete."
Anna Sinjari-refugee, survivor of genocide, disaffected office worker-has a close encounter that reveals universe-threatening stakes. Enter Ssrin, a many-headed serpent alien who is on the run from her own past. Ssrin and Anna are inexorably, dangerously drawn to each other, and their contact reveals universe-threatening stakes.
While humanity reels from disaster, Anna must join a small team of civilians, soldiers, and scientists to investigate a mysterious broadcast and unknowable horror. If they can manage to face their own demons, they just might save the world.

This was SO close to being an all-time great and i'd rec it for people interested in absurd settings/humor, brilliant alien-ness and generally those wanting some 'out there' / weird SF. Despite the rating, this was on of the most memorable and fav reads of 2025 for me Anyway, I loved the way that Dickinson managed to weave the absurd with the conflict and the way things escalated. I found myself thinking that we'd basically reached the big final setpiece a few times in the first half of the book because i wasn't sure how things would be progressing from that point. Characters were decent enough, and the backstory and plot in region was great. Some characters (erik etc) and the pacing were what marred my enjoyment. And i dont think it manages to actually stick the landing. Honestly, there's probably a 5/5 book in there if 25% of the pages went missing
