Review by DOUGLAS R MASON
Odd take that has some humour but might have been better as a straightforward sci-fi tale.
I liked it and may read second but not in any hurry

Summary | "Humankind ventures farther into the galaxy than ever before... and immediately causes an intergalactic incident. In their infinite wisdom, the crew of the exploration vessel Magellan, or as she prefers, 'Maggie,' decides to bring the alien structure they just found back to Earth. The only problem? The aliens are awfully fond of that structure. A planet full of bumbling, highly evolved primates has just put itself on a collision course with a wider, and more hostile, galaxy that is stranger than anyone can possibly imagine."--Back cover. |
