The book starts out like the setup for some punny science fiction joke: An alien walks into a museum and asks if he can see a paleontologist. But the arachnid ET hasn't come aboard a rowboat with the Pope and Stephen Hawking (although His Holiness does request an audience later). Landing at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, the spacefarer (named Hollus) asks to compare notes on mass extinctions with resident dino-scientist Thomas Jericho. A shocked Jericho finds that not only does life exist on other planets, but that every civilization in the galaxy has experienced extinction events at precisely the same time. Armed with that disconcerting information (and a little help from a grand unifying theory), the alien informs Jericho, almost dismissively, that "the primary goal of modern science is to discover why God has behaved as he has and to determine his methods."

读后感

这是我来上海后唯一看完的一本书，小说的前面部分远比后面的精彩，到了本小说真正幻的部分，我居然开始兴味索然。 显然作者是个比较有野心的家伙：P，他在大部分地方垒出了不少资料，说得如此证据确凿，仿佛我看的并不是一部小说，而是那杆“正在冒烟的枪”，比方很多“证据”...

2015年第一本，北师大回来之后重读此书，能不感慨。这也是我读过的第一本原著。为了恢复英语水平，每天20页，不再为了学英语而看原著了。纯粹是享受。

看到结尾，10年后就想哭了，不用说400年，家人都不在了，也不知道地球，人性还在不在。"your earth still outshines the sol"是多么了不起的事啊！
