Ell Donsaii is back in groove - this time (remotely) directing her exploration rockets into the Tau Ceti system and discovering *gasp* aliens. Along the way she also wraps up another unresolved problem in physics. (If this continues, she will soon run out of them..). This series is all about technology,  space  exploration and the experiences of the improbably super-intelligent and super-athletic main character. But hey, it is light, fun reading with a number of really interesting ideas and most of the science explanations have always been reasonably realistic. Unfortunately, I found the discovered aliens quite boring. The author took pains to make them intriguing from an anatomical perspective but their culture and behavior is too similar to humanity. (After reading much better alien cultures described by the sci-fi greats, Chinese-noodles style aliens don't really whet the appetite)
