kejadlen's review against another edition
3.0
2.5/5 Pretty ho-hum overall. The standard for a "first contact" book (in my opinion) is A Mote in God's Eye, which is admittedly a pretty high bar to meet. Contact with Chaos was refreshing in its realism, with only the characters' being too rational for me to wholly believe. I could have overlooked the lack of conflict, if the alien species were more interesting.
