Resumen del Editor

Twelve years ago, NASA researcher Peter Abbott disappeared while on a mission to study a meteor that had crashed on an uncharted island in the South Pacific.

His wife, Claire Hamilton, a scientist herself, picked up the pieces of her broken life and started over. Now a professor of astrobiology at the University of Washington, Claire has remarried and is raising six-year-old twins with her husband, Jack.

But her idyllic life is shattered once again when NASA shows up at Claire's door with incredible news - Peter is alive, and they want her to join a mission to rescue him from the island. And the most stunning revelation - it wasn't a meteor that Peter had gone to study, as they had told her a dozen years ago, but an extraterrestrial artifact.

Torn between the love for her family and the prospect of being part of the most important discovery in human history, Claire struggles with the decision join the dangerous mission. Meanwhile, sinister forces begin aligning to prevent her from rescuing Peter or uncovering the mystery of the alien object.

And as the danger mounts, she will make a shocking discovery, one with the potential to alter the course of her life-and of mankind - forever.

Unnecessary mom's angst

The protagonist was talking about how much she loved her kids and all of that... Why did you make the decisions you made if you loved them so much? If this was a Reddit IATA, almost everyone here would be the AH.
How she felt and what she thought was unnecessarily repeated several times,
The end made almost no send and it was really empty and made almost no sense. Several plot holes.
Everything interesting happened during the last 40 - 30 mins.
I wouldn't call it sci-fi tbh.

Moral compass fluctuating all the time

Too little sci fi, and too much drama. The characters had no real development, with contradicting personality traits,to keep the storyline going.

Mostly well written and excellent narration…

I enjoyed the concept and it was well written, but I was disappointed in the ending. It was as if the author was not sure how to wrap up the story. Anticlimactic, there was so much more that could have been done with the ending. The narrator was great.

Solid SciFi with abit of creep added

A solid offering in all aspects. Abit SciFi, a bit spooky, and solid storytelling and performance. Took a while to get started, but well worth the credit, and the time. Recommended.

Disappointing 😩

Not a time travel novel. Not a love story. Very unnecessary sub plots that did not further the storyline at all. No redeeming qualities for any of the characters. Very anticlimactic.

Not as good as I hoped

A great premise for a story but poor execution.
Not a time travel book more of a time anomaly

10% scifi 90% emotions n feelings.

Sorry, had to return this book after 6 hours. It feels like every step in the plot direction, her thoughts rambles on with memories, feelings and her way of seeing things, that does nothing to move the book onward. I got to the point of it really irritating me. Sorry for the low score, but its the correct one.

Liked, but aspects of the end made no sense

I liked the premise of the story.. I thought it was pretty original from a sci fi perspective. The main character was not completely likable and I found her to be kinda the kind of woman I'd hate to realized I married. She was overly self righteous and seemed to be very full of herself and her life. But from a story perspective it was good.

The part that made no sense was the motivation behind her husband (the first one) trying to prevent her from leaving the island and trying to kill her. Just made no sense and no motivation for it... So 5 stars for first 3/4 1 star for last 1/4

Worth the Credit... but...

This book is worth the credit, it’s a very good story about love and loss. Buuuutt that’s pretty much it. Not the best science fiction you’ll read, but worth keeping in your wish list and reading at some point. Good for couples to read together.

nothing exciting here.

I found this book to be rather disappointing. You keep expecting a surprise event and it just never happens. The book moves along on a very predictable line. The story could have been so much more than it was.
