Title: A true sense of wonder.
Review: Fantastic, well research, well written, outstanding art.This book was also used as the basis for the 2005 movie Alien Life [...] created by The Discovery Channel.The movie is great, but the art in Expedition is stunning, and one spends a long time studying the individual illustrations for all the exquisite detail and imagination in them. The alien life depicted is both plausible and at the very edge of the possible. Depictions of alien life is so often stereotypical (e.g., Star Treks green girls and pointy ears) as it is hard to create anew while still being realistic and within the bounds of Science. Expedition gets this right and constantly surprises us with new unexpected life forms that still fits in a logical framework of an ecology parallel, yet total independent, to our own on Earth.The very best in a mix of Art, Science, and Science Fiction.
