Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Such an interesting idea absolutely squandered to the point that it made me angry. This is not about six astronauts. This is about on very obnoxious know it all who goes on long rants to the point where you lose interest. I gave up at chapter 9 with 6 hours left in the story. At that point I hated the main character and could not tell any of the astronauts apart because so little focus was on them. I will actively avoid this author in the future.

HTML: The Parada had been lost for almost two hundred years before they recovered the ship, drifting in stygian interstellar darkness, and brought her home again. But that was not the miracle. The miracle was that the crew was still alive. That was also the problem. Psychologist Stella Froud and Jesuit Father Philip Carter were recruited as part of the team assembled to investigate the mystery, and to try and help the Parada's crew understand their condition and possibly reverse it. What they discovered was a deepening mystery, and very soon they found themselves forced to take sides in a conflict that nobody could have possibly predicted. Their world would never be the same again. "Like its cast of returned starfarers, this rich and continually surprising novel is many things at once: a religiously-inflected first contact novel; an engaging psychological mystery; a glimpse of the future through the eyes of the past; and a moving tale about the difficulties of homecoming. I highly recommend it." - Matt Ruff, author of 'Set This House in Order' and 'Lovecraft Country' .No library descriptions found. |
