"This is a thoughtful book about stretching the boundaries of knowledge of self and the universe. It hangs together well as science fiction with believable science. I often didn't know when the science ended and the fiction began. I thought it would be a diatribe against the benighted believers in God but was instead pleased at the nuances in those for whom faith is only strengthened by what the universe shows shown in contrast to those who fear that God would be lessened if we were to believe in extra terrestrial life."
