About this listen
Michael Crichton meets Marvel’s Venom in award-winning author Seth Dickinson’s science fiction debut
"Viciously funny, vivid to the point of horror, and entirely profound."—Arkady Martine
"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.

Critic reviews
"Dickinson brings the same richness of characterization that made his Baru Cormorant series (The Traitor Baru Cormorant, 2015) so compelling, but this one reads like a Michael Crichton thriller on psychedelics—in a good way."—Booklist, starred review
"Seth! Jesus f***ing christ, Seth, you can't f--king keep doing this to me, I have a kid who's going to get up at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning no matter how late I stayed up reading, again, it's been days, I can see time."—Max Gladstone, co-author of the New York Times Bestselling This is How You Lose the Time War
"Exordia is an avalanche: an inevitable, overwhelming, pell-mell landscape-scale transformation of a book. Dickinson uses science fiction as an ethical scalpel, and the results are breathtaking: viciously funny, vivid to the point of horror, and entirely profound."—Arkady Martine, Hugo Award-winning author of A Memory Called Empire

I got to the end, I wish I knew how I felt
I loved Exordia at times, especially the start but the middle dragged. Am I glad I stuck it out? I think so! It's a novel that needs effort and I applaud that, I just wonder if the effort was worth it.

Lumpy
There were moments when I was really into this and longv stretches where it lost me.
There are flashes of genius in the writing for sure and some really cool ideas but for me, it's missing a cohesive thrust through the story.
