Science fiction comes in a number of styles from slight changes to the existing world model to everything is different and this one is on the everything is different end. The main character in the story Felix (For me an unfortunate name as I kept thinking of the cat) is an invulnerable explorer / surveyor who comes from "Sol" and I never quite worked out if he was Human, a robot or something else is exploring worlds sending back reports of what he found. After all the exploring I found his reports amusing for example"Thriving subterranean ecosystem. Complex multicellular life, evidence of predation. Exploration truncated by a very nasty fish. Yours, F."I liked the descriptions of the various planets visited which showed great originality but wondered where the story was going as each exploration seemed to be just a separate story, however near the end when Felix goes much further in space than before and discovers that there are other things to worry about it does come to a satisfying conclusion, if not to Felix's liking.
