Right?? Love that it was shrouded in mystery, the whole situation of [redacted]. And Peter ended up recreating the whole Christian story by accident, that was well played and you have to wonder about the parallels

I'm done! I feel like I'm quoting the cover, but it is raw human sci-fi. The way Faber played with the christian motifs was clever, and the guy really knows how to be subtle with human emotions. There's a couple of things that I still find problematic about the book, but overall I enjoyed it!

It really is, man. I had always wondered about the role of human religion to alien species relations, and he manages to keep it as interesting as his Fire Gospel book

Sure is! More of a minister than a priest trying to survive Planet Extreme-tropic. It's slow going but a really human tale. Faber knows how to illustrate the less glamorous parts of a person's mind (especially the male mind, doesn't seem to go much into the female point of view from what I've read)

I'm pretty sure we're living through something that'll be in history books and documentaries, our grandchildren will asks us what we did or how we're things during Trump, it feels chaotic and we're not even a year in
