Hatching Into Space


THE CRYSTAL SPHERES by David Brin is written with such a strange concept, I was about 3/4 through the story before I finally caught on to the mindset. While I love the exotic details the author weaves throughout this sci-fi short, I almost felt too stupid to enjoy Brin's tale of space exploration. Almost.

I am glad I kept reading because the ending has really changed the way I view the possibility of life elsewhere in the Universe, even though this is a work of fiction. This is a great example of why I love the imagination of writers.

As always,
