Science Fiction -- 5 stars
It is the year 2257, and Kira Navarez's last day on an uncharted planet. Her survey work is done, but at the last minute, a drone sends a message and she is sent to investigate. What she finds is an alien artifact that changes everything she knows about life--human and alien--and propels her into the center of an interstellar war that could mean the annihilation of all human life. ---- At 896 pages, this is truly an imaginative Sci-Fi tale of epic proportions where the excitement pulls you forward and forward some more. Kira leads the character brigade, but she is joined by a flux of life forms identifiable in their humanness of spirit if not their form. Sophisticated writing, relatable character interactions and backgrounds add a great deal of unexpected depth. Technical aspects are presented in a way that non-techies will appreciate and understand. I am not a huge fan of this genre, but I could not put this book down.
