Geoffrey Landis did it again. He's created a story that keeps you guessing until the end. Since I like stories with extraterrestrial aliens, which Landis doesn't usually include in his stories, this one has an added treat for me. There are two species' besides humans and before the story ends we know their thoughts and intimate details concerning their contact with humans. Their thoughts and memories are fascinating, but their reactions to the result of contact with us is full of surprises and intriguing possibilities. You'll meet two species who handled the contact with humans in two very different ways, and you'll share their feelings about the consequences. Actually, there are two more species you'll meet briefly who add more questions than answers to this fascinating tale. I highly enjoyed it and will read it again and again. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys Science Fiction or Psychology. -Marcia Hanson, Fictionwise Recommender
