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."

评分作为科幻，这本书的idea并不新鲜。它好就好在三观端正。这才是在写小说。从细节里所看到的是真正的，值得尊敬的科学家，有好奇心、尊严、同时也是脆弱的人。外星人并不是都是来侵略的，去他x的侵略，去他x的先见政府首脑，我们只是来地球看一看化石，为了好奇心。好奇心是什么...

2015年第一本，北师大回来之后重读此书，能不感慨。这也是我读过的第一本原著。为了恢复英语水平，每天20页，不再为了学英语而看原著了。纯粹是享受。
评分天马行空的魄力，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"Have you ever thought about the future? I mean the far future——thousands, or even millions, of years from now."
