Holy Nokley... I didn't know what to expect going into this book other than "it's got space stuff and that's why the bookstore is doing an event with this book and 'The Mission' from David W. Brown together" and that this one was fiction.

I love this book. It's amazing! And after watching the book discussion between David and Claire (and Michelle at the beginning and end) last night, I have to agree that it's hopeful. In spite of the overwhelming feeling of despair throughout the book.
