OK, I am giving three stars because I like the idea. Humans ARE the aliens that we always envision visiting us.That said, I am being very generous because although I mostly enjoyed the story there are a couple of things I had a REALLY hard time getting past.1. The puritan nature of our hero was just way over the top. I can understand not taking advantage to the "alien" girl based on his position over her and certainly I don't expect him to be a James T. Kirk :) That said, let's be real, no premarital sex because that is not what we do on earth. Really, is that the same earth that I am from?2. And this the one that almost tipped the scales. On a space ship the size or a city built at least 200 years in our future the heat is provided by a gas furnace that has to have the pilot light lit. That was really a WTF moment for me. In particular since they had just come directly from a nuclear power plant. They could not figure out how to use that as a heat source.
