This is a prequel novel that can stand on its own. A ship finds a planet with a huge, constructed hole on the surface that emits a sound on one frequency every 10 seconds. Four members of the team go down to walk to the edge of the hole since they can’t land due to EMP field that keeps going off with the sound. The four go down are picked due to specialties but they certainly don’t work well as a team.  As they travel there are mishaps, and you find out more about their backgrounds and the constant noise and problem wear on them. The main POV character had joined the mission to run away from the grief of his wife’s death and eventually you find out how she died.  This isn’t a happy novel with a warm and fuzzy ending.  This is a bit bleak and taut story about social dynamics more than about maybe finding info on a new race of aliens.  The audio narration on this is great and the extra sound effects with the superior narration kept me completely engaged in this book.
