Review:
This is a non-traditional first contact book. It is a morality play disguised as a science fiction novel, so if you are anti-environmentalist, pro-capitalist, or much of a romantic, this book is not for you. On the other hand, if you are interested in a possible first contact where the aliens had no desire to kill us, this might be enticing. Generally the reasons for aliens visiting involve colonization and this isn't really all that different (at least it isn't farming like Childhood's End). The current state of humanity is, for my money, far more interesting then the aliens. Oh, and if you had trying to figure out gender pronouns, this one is going to throw you for a serious loop.
