Hilarious and he can write. Nearer the end it became a bit "episodic". Very honest.

I enjoyed this and would like to read a sequel.

This book is an Out of Africa story. It is a book about leadership and causing positive change.It has insights into human nature that ring true to me. It is a book about our relationship to the environment. It is a book about how some aspects of human psychology may be dangerous if and when we meet alien species. It has wonderful world building. It gives me hope about science fiction as a genre. I will read the next one in the series when it is released.
