kareila_booksWhat to say about this imaginative, provocative, ultimately heartbreaking novella? I'll be shocked if it doesn't win a Hugo next year.
Ariadne is a member of a team of four astronauts sent to explore the possibility of life on far away exoplanets, spending years doing scientific research with the eventual goal of returning to Earth, knowing that their families will have moved on without them. But how much will their home planet have changed?
I saw one reviewer try to sum this up as The Martian meets Interstellar and that's not a bad comparison, but it doesn't have the wacky humor of the former or the wacky physics of the latter. It's a love letter to humanity, plain and simple.
