Ein schöner Science Fiction Roman, mit etwas Science und viel Biology und Psychology, die in sich schlüssig ist und voller neuer Ideen was die Geheimnisse des Weltraums und seiner Bewohner angeht.. Dazu ist er noch spannend geschrieben mit glaubwürdigen Personen und einer Handlung, die um manche SF-Fettnäpfchen/Verlockungen herumkommt.
