I am kind of the mind that alien stories hit their peak the 90s, all that can be said has been said kind of thing, but it's been thirteen years since the 90s and there is this rule Orson Welles used to talk about that after a subject has been dead ten years it gets to come back.Going Home gives a good argument for alien stories coming back. It has a lot of things you've seen before, mysterious organizations, artifacts, manipulated memories. It does it all without stepping in too many footprints. The complex plotting with the artifact reminded me a little of Vonnegut's "Sirens Of Titan", and that's a pretty high accolade for me to give a novel.
