    A fun read.

    This book was a real page turner. Brown has created a world that begs to be explored. Nothing life-changing but very entertaining.

    Fast paced, imaginative, thought provoking

    This is a story that takes place in the near future '2095' when the earth is dying out. It's the story of humanity's last chance of survival sending out a space ship to a nearby star system to set up a colony. The story focuses on 4 human characters and a few alien races that are encountered along the way. The journey is very imaginative and fast paced. There are some scientific flaws that must be overlooked but it's a small price to pay to enjoy this book.
