Cheryl Glenn (USA: MT) (2007/03/03):
This is an awesome book. I keep acquiring copies to share them with other people.
Gina (USA: NC) (2008/11/16):
Very good, compelling story of a Jesuit-led mission to make first contact with an alien species which goes tragically wrong. The author's premise is that the inadvertent misunderstandings between radically different cultures can defeat even the best of intentions. Her background in anthropology and science writing comes through in the detail. Could be disturbing for some readers.
