A science expedition to space to examine potential planets with life loses contact with Earth. The humanity of the characters and the choice they are ultimately forced to make was very touching.

Le pongo 5 estrellas porque soy una persona con mente curiosa y científica. Así que este libro es una delicia para mí. Ya que la historia gira en torno a esto. La curiosidad humana por explorar otros mundos y otras formas de vida y su estudio a nivel científico-biológico. 
No se profundiza mucho en los personajes y la atención se mantiene más en el desarrollo del guion o de la historia, se genera una intriga al principio, que se agudiza hacia el final según vamos sabiendo más datos y al final se desvela como es el motivo de lo que nos presentan al principio, final que también me ha gustado porque plantea un dilema ético-humano , que te deja pensando… ¿ y yo que haría o sentiría en esa misma situación? Teniendo en cuenta que la mente de un astronauta, además de curiosa, tiene un componente altruista o de generosidad hacia la especie humana en general, y no tanto hacia el individualismo… o al menos no debería ser así…

I have to say this one fell a little flat for me. It felt a little bit more like a long Ted talk than a story. Definitely thought provoking and beautifully written, but want to know more about the characters and worlds.
