Pretty great sci-fi. Definitely an interesting take on alien life and space travel. Some of the science talk might be a little hard to get through, but overall, I enjoyed it.
The best laugh-out-loud, cry-out-loud, and thrilling book I've ever read. It's super entertaining and heartfelt that I still think about it months after reading it. Can't wait to read it again.
I listened to the audio book and enjoyed the book and the performance. Yes, you need to suspend disbelief on how the world is likely to act in a crisis. If only we were likely to manage a cohesive response! Anyway, ignore that and it is fun with physics and unexpected heart.
Good story, lots to think about. Science mostly checks out. Grace character is still the same super-smart, super-resourceful scientist fantasy guy. Rocky is the star in this one.
The Narrator for this book, Ray Porter is fantastic I highly recommend for the story and the way he narrates!
