![]() Through the main character the reader is introduced to several mysteries and enigmas. The book has an interesting blend of technology and mysticism.Ģ. ![]() ![]() I think it wasn't exciting enough to wow, but sometimes slow and steady does ok too. This book was definitely more of a journey than a destination sort of read, it didn't have enough drama or conflict or suspense and at times came across as somewhat episodic, but I liked it and was entertained thoroughly. That's pretty much all of the story, it follows Cale (considerably more likeable than his homonym vegetable namesake) from the time he lands on a distant planet as a child to him ushering in a new age of alien/human contact as a young man. The main protagonist, Cale, was a very compelling reluctant yet steadfast sort of hero on a mission I'm not sure I even agree with, but was interested in reading about. ![]() I'm fairly new to scifi, I know world building is suppose to be a huge element and there was some of that in the book, but I think Russo's main strength is in his writing and his characters. This is the second book I've read by the author and, though it definitely isn't as good as Ship of Fools, I found myself enjoying it quite a lot. ![]()
