About this listen
Iris Camden thought she knew who her family was even if they weren’t always forthcoming. Her half-sister is a medium reeling from the loss of her biological mother. Her estranged father is an obsessed government worker who cannot reveal what he does. When an artifact appears in a ghost-hunting expedition, Iris is the last person who wants to believe in aliens.

Am I back? Am I alive? Again?
Iris and D.J. are half sisters. One is a ghost hunter, the other a medium. Mitchell is an U.F.O. chaser. Iris' dad always warned her against bothering with the idea of aliens, but he'd left their mother years ago to join some top secret organisation, and there was something very appealing about Mitchell. D.J's mother died a couple of years ago but keeps coming back to talk at her daughter. When a very strange poltergeist is haunting the home of Iris' latest client and crop circles are seen actually being formed in a farmer's field, the two teams of U.F.O. and ghost hunters find themselves drawn together, pulled into a strange and frantic attempt to save the world. But from who, and how, and what can they trust? Not even their own experiences, it seems.
Well.(deep breath),this book blends together virtually everything: ghostly apparitions and artefacts, flying toiletry items, psychic experiences, family dynamics and responsibility, Native American folklore, spaceships and various varieties of alien, time travel and weird in-space battles, human evolution, government consipracies, self doubt, suspicions and romance. It all gets thrown into the mixing pot in this remarkably wide ranging, sophisticated science fiction story. Yet at times it also reads like something out of the Famous Five. A strange mix.
Similarly, narrator Ann Simmons has a pleasant sounding voice, with good intonation and adherence to text. She also gives good individual voicing to the characters. Yet her performance, though good, seemed to become too monotone, leaving this reader struggling to stay awzke. Perhaps there was something mesmeric in the book? Very strange.
The whole leaves this reader conflicted: some great ideas and well executed visual sections yet with characters who seem, for all their angst and introspection, rather foolish and two dimensional. I was fortunate in being freely gifted a complimentary copy of Coalescence, at my request, by the rights holder, via Audiobook Boom. Thank you - it was certainly ambitious and different. Would I recommend it? Possibly to someone obsessed with U.F.Os and government's determination to hide anything unexplained from the public. It is good fun, after all.

Like the xfiles. Spirits/UFO's/conspiracies abound
Like the Xfiles. If you enjoy the paranormal and UFO/alien tales, then this one is for you.
Misunderstood ghost hunters and alien conspiracists use pseudo-science to battle against misrepresented skeptics to get to the bottom of a spiritual/alien threat. No need for too much logic and realism in a story like this, leave those at home with your skeptical hat, if you enjoy classic spiritual/paranormal/UFO type stories, this is for you.
