In this Hugo-nominated novel, 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, 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.

A lot of time has passed since I read an excellent book that kept me from sleeping, easy to read and with an excellent plot, you just can't let the book get out of your hands, you just want to continue reading. Either you like or not science fiction, this book will take you to the end of the universe and will lead you to a probable answer of the existence of God.

A fun science fiction story based on good science
I read this book on the recommendation of a friend and liked it so much, I bought my own copy to loan to one of my adult children. The added bonus, for any one living there, is that it takes place in Toronto, Canada and refers to familiar places and political issues. It is an easy read with excitement, humor and is thought-provoking.
