DESCRIPTION:
I wish to acknowledge my deep gratitude to our High Tribunal for this opportunity."And with those astonishing words Mac, the alien protagonist in this extraordinary tale, masterfully recounts the history of Earth since its advent 4.54 billion years ago, and relates with amazing authenticity the 200,000 year odyssey of Homo sapiens and how they became the dominant lifeform on their planet today. My original report regarding this matter was delivered to the Most High Tribunal of Galymon which is the Supreme Authority on my home planet. And on this breathtaking journey the reader is always kept supremely informed and pleasantly entertained.But, with their starkly genocidal ethos, can this species survive? A novel with footnotes .From the Big Bang to mass extinctions, from the nature of life to the future of humans, it's all here and it's pure magic!. The narrative describes the exponential rise of these humans, from speciation in East Africa to modern space trave
FROM READERS' FAVORITE (5-STARS)
Evocative . Amazon Customer My gentle reader, the journey through 'Mission to Earth' is a truly wondrous endeavor.It is a compilation of narratives, spoken through the voice of an otherwise unbiased observer, that espouses the vast history of our universe.Through specificity to the introduction of concepts, the author has sustained a coherent parsimonious novel, bringing about an abundance of knowledge to even the most astute reader.From the origins of fire, to the expanse of the heavens, from our evolutionary background, to the anatomy of music, from the depths of slavery, to . A magnificent survey of human existence There are very few books that deliver what they promise. Mission to Earth is one of those rare books. I approached it expecting some patchy brilliance, interspersed between vast expanses of mundane and boring. Mission to Earth quickly dispels any such negative expectations. From the very first page you know you are about to be treated with a smorgasbord of most diverse and deep facts about who we are, where we come from, and why we behave the way we do.The book reminds you of A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkings, but perhaps more wide-ranging . Fantastic depth and insight into Earth's ways from an alien's perspective Mustang Beam I read this book three times. Once - speed read through it to get an idea of what I was expecting. Second, to look up the terms I did not grasp or understand. Thrice - to enjoy it. I found it very funny because this is just how I feel when people say they are "hunting" ghosts. I can imagine what the "ghosts" are saying about us on their plane of existence.I found this book marvelous!!!!! I truly enjoyed a perspective from an alien from another galaxy and he is "spot on" about Earth and its very strange ways of dealing with things.I love astronomy and
