I am looking for the name of a science fiction novel based on this rough synopsis?


I remember reading a summary of a science fiction novel once and thinking that it would be very interesting to read, but I never found it afterward.
I roughly recall that it was about some captain trying to find out more about this alien language which is used to control people. The problem is as she delves more and more into it, she comes under its control and may become a traitor in the process. What is the name of this novel? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

What’s a good science fiction novel to read?


I’m trying to find a good sci-fi book to read. I enjoy reading about time travel theory, but not super cliche time travel stuff, if you know what I’m talking about. I’m also really into Doctor Who, so if anyone has read any of those books, which one would you recommend? Something preferably on the shorter side too, so maybe no more than 500 or 550 pages. Thanks.
