The Chara Series is a science fiction series by David Scott Moyer and Ben Zwycky. The series follows humanity's involvement with the inhabitants of the Chara system, a planet which never developed sound based communication. The first book in the series, Atmosphere, chronicles the first scouting mission to Chara IV. The second book, Ocean, takes place ten years later, with a second mission. The third and final book, Moon, is scheduled to be released in late 2023 or early 2024. The Chara Series has been praised for its exploration of the potential for communication between different species, as well as its thought-provoking depiction of first contact. The series has also been compared to other works of science fiction, such as Contact by Carl Sagan and Arrival by Ted Chiang. If you are a fan of science fiction, or if you are looking for a thought-provoking read, I would recommend checking out The Chara Series. Here are some additional details about the two books that are currently available on Amazon: Atmosphere is a stand-alone novel that introduces the reader to the Chara system and its inhabitants. The story follows a team of human scientists and engineers as they make first contact with the Charaans, a species that has never developed sound-based communication. Ocean is the second book in the series and picks up ten years after the events of Atmosphere. The story follows a new team of human scientists and engineers as they return to Chara IV to learn more about the Charaans and their culture. Both Atmosphere and Ocean are available in Kindle format and can be read for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription. I have no idea who this Ben Zwycky is. "a team of human scientists and engineers" is made up, as is the word "Charaans", which I kind of like.
