The book starts out like the setup for some punny science fiction joke: An alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer (named Hollus) asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho. A shocked Jericho finds that not only does life exist on other planets, but that every civilization in the galaxy has experienced extinction events at precisely the same time. Armed with that disconcerting information (and a little help from a grand unifying theory), the alien informs Jericho, almost dismissively, that "the primary goal of modern science is to discover why God has behaved as he has and to determine his methods."
作为科幻,这本书的idea并不新鲜。它好就好在三观端正。这才是在写小说。从细节里所看到的是真正的,值得尊敬的科学家,有好奇心、尊严、同时也是脆弱的人。外星人并不是都是来侵略的,去他x的侵略,去他x的先见政府首脑,我们只是来地球看一看化石,为了好奇心。好奇心是什么...
