Review title: A rare treat - sf and religion treated respectfully together
Product review: Tom Jericho, a paleontologist, makes first contact with an alien at the science museum where he works. The alien is accompanied by another alien of a different race. Together they are studying the geological records of inhabited planets, after discovering astounding similarities in major planet events. Jericho discovers he is most intrigued by their belief in God, a concept that has eluded him for most of his life. The aliens are very human-like in some regards, and their gradual interactions and friendship with Jericho are wonderfully told. Jericho's views of the universe are shaken amidst his diagnosis of a terminal illness. Does he find religion and/or God? Thankfully it's not that simple or predictable. This novel is full of heavy themes, treated respectfully, and told with heart. It is moving and thoughtful, and oh yeah, there's plenty of science fiction involved as well. I loved it!
