Commentary/review
A white male American is a nice guy and saves humanity in space. A fantasy about iron sanity, iron morals, iron sense of humour, iron everything. If not for the “science” and “discovery” part, I would not even pass the middle point. Did not finish, read a summary instead. I do not care about the American or his aliens, about blunt forcing everything on Earth and about “stumbling upon” all these discoveries by accident. The book has a serious problem with probability, a simple science that everyone carries in their guts.
The book is badly translated (by Radosław Madejski), badly performed (next to no voice acting) and impossibly cliché.
