Summary

Rex Walker always wanted to be like his father: a daring, adventurous man, traveling the world in pursuit of mysterious relics. Now Rex is the same age his father was when he disappeared without a trace.

While teaching anthropology at a Boston college, Rex attempts to bury the past, until he discovers a hidden clue he can’t ignore.

With the help of his sidekick Marcus, a former student turned protégé, he teams up with an alien-obsessed billionaire, and they search for the fabled Bridge.

As an unidentified object nears Pluto, speculation surges. Some hail it as the homecoming of a distant alien race, and this cult is unwavering in its efforts to usher our world into a new era.

Will Rex solve the puzzle before it’s too late? Find out in Lost Contact, the first installment of The Bridge Sequence by Nathan Hystad, the best-selling author of The Event.

An epic sci-fi full of twists and turns, exciting storylines and characters full of depth.

I really really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down, another fantastic read from Nathan!

P.s if you enjoyed this book please listen to "The Rise" series also written by Nathan and narrated by Ray porter.

Fantastic adventure!

This book is a terrific Sci-fi adventure with believable characters that you get behind from the first chapter.
Rex is a modern day Indiana Jones! The story races throughout the countries of the world, with a ever constant threat of the mysterious objects approaching Earth.
I loved the story and cannot wait until the next book!

Not horrible...

The story was good. I have actually listened to this twice because I finally got book 2 in the series and re-listened to this on so refresh myself. Ray Porter is a great narrator EXCEPT when it comes to female voices. I don't understand why men have to do the fake female valley girl voices. We do not sound that way. It was like listening to Jack Black imitating Bethany from the Jumanji movies. Comical and offputting.

Great stuff.

Ray Porter does it again and this time with a little help from Nathan Hystad. They really enjoyable listen. I was hooked from the start it had the right amount of Indiana Jones adventure with a sprinkle of sci-fi to finish it off. Right I can’t be here all day I’m off to find book 2... do yourself a favour and download it now.

Scrambles over the line as Sci-fi...

Not my usual cup of tea and debating to get the 2nd book...Ray Porter is swinging it for me at the mo...
bit of a let down ending but it definitely sets the next book up as most trilogies should...
I highly recommend THE HIDDEN SHIP...

Lost Contact

Another stellar performance from Ray Porter. Having read a lot of heavyweight sci-fi recently, this was just what I needed. Great fun. Straight onto Book 2 for more twists & turns.
