This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.Disclosure: I was offered a copy of this book by the author as a review copy.Fraternal twins, born together, sharing a bond, diplomats between species.This book is about the ability of twins to communicate with each other. It is also about the inability of humans to get along with anyone different from ourselves. This book is very much about the struggle to understand and communicate with others who may be so radically different speech is impossible.I enjoyed the interaction of the twins in this book. I found the theory presented very plausible. It seems to represent the current struggle of mankind to get along, while maintaining separate identities of each country. The possibilities of earthlings to travel to another planet and learn to interact with another species is always fascinating to read about. Unfortunately, the sometimes difficult to follow time periods in the book made the early reading more difficult than it should have been. Possibly adding date and time slots to the paragraph heading would help with that.Karen A. Wyle presents us with a fascinating journey to the possibilities of twins becoming diplomats to solve a communication issue. Having read enough science to know it is believed there is an incredible bond between twins, this is a story that I got swallowed up by. Like all great science fiction, it leaves the mind wandering in the story, and even allows room for the reader to decide how plausible the theory is.I can easily recommend this book to science fiction readers looking for something besides the usual “lost in space” book. I also think twins would enjoy reading this, because to me it represents much of what a twin should be. I look forward to more by this author and have picked up another of her books.
