Yes, I am Toto and I adore this book.
Is it weird that I found this cozy?

One of my favorite scenes set that is weirdly wholesome:

The stranded astronaut stumbles into a somewhat oxygen rich fold inside this dark crypt he's been hopelessly lost in. The glass flowers- beautiful. The massive whatever the hell that was creature that strode past him - strangely comforting. The mechanical little eggs on legs which may or may not contain little humanoid aliens but we'll never know because it would be rude to open them up you know - utterly adorable. And then they set off in a direction predestined and our Astronaut Rendell and by default, Toto (us, the readers) follow along but not curiously, for companionship on that desolate place. I loved this.

Just picture this lone astronaut walking at the center of these little moving Egg-Men machines and their shiny lights. He is a huge bipedal monster but he is their bipedal monster.

"They Bring the light and I, Gary Rendell of Earth, bring the muscle. Two-fisted space action!"

Geez Tchaikovsky, give others a chance to be great writers too. What the hell man.
Hit after hit after hit.
