Forgot how a good, clean scifi book feels to read. I love challenging books (look at my "Read" and TBR lists), but sometimes it's great to just dive into a simple "oh my gosh, we're encountering aliens for the first time" book.

Either this has the longest denoument I've ever read or there is a twist or two still forthcoming.

Now the conflict emerges. It was inevitable that when the species started to learn "too much" about each other that both would become defensive to the point of violence.

Okay, where are the weapons hidden? Are there any weapons? Would this have messed with people more during the Cold War

The best non-Traveller adventure Traveller adventure I've ever read.

It's interesting that the aliens are not just objects for humans to discover, but the knife cuts both ways. They are trying to figure us out, too, and what appears to us as intelligence might appear to them as utter foolishness. An intriguing flip of the script I wasn't really expecting.

Starting to get very interesting. Just waiting for the humans to muck things up. I'm not sure if it will be the scientists, the military, or both, but I'm sure there will be plenty of blame to go around when things go awry. And they have to go awry, right? Don't spoil it for me, though!

Well, now I know where Marc Miller got his ideas for the third Imperium.
