Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 15, 2014
This is a very well-written book with an intriguing premise. The "Highway to Heaven," which is a human exploration vessel, has discovered signs of life (chlorophyll) on the fourth planet. This is significant because chlorophyll is not known to exist anywhere but on Earth. Though life is theoretically possible, there are no signs of life. What explains this contradicition, namely, the absence of life within the possibilities of life? The obvious thing to do is to investigate.As the "Highway to Heaven" closes in to investigate, they are attacked by an alien spacecraft. Now what? Stay and fight or retreat to safety? What would you do? Fans of this genre will appreciate the way in which Author Steve Challis has presented a unique precipitating event that catches and hold our attention. As a result, this book is "unputdownable" until you have satisfied your curiosity. Highly recommended, again, for fans of the genre. You won't be disappointed.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofSecond Language Acquisition: Language, Culture & Identity, for English Language Learners Worldwide - ELL / ESL / EAL / EFL
