具体描述
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."

评分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”...
评分因为木星和月球这种特殊的存在，我一直以为我们是被某种外星生命控制的。我不太相信上帝，即使是科学范畴之内的上帝我也不相信。我宁愿相信是外星生命。 小说很有意思，特别是最后的一部分。主人公从很快就要死去转变到比所有人（地球人）都要长寿，让我觉得很新奇。没...

天马行空的魄力，一口气读完才畅快；埋下的哲学包袱没能抖出深度，是佳作不是杰作。
评分看到结尾，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！
评分"Have you ever thought about the future? I mean the far future——thousands, or even millions, of years from now."
