I'm halfway through chapter 7, and I'm fascinated by the scientific problem-solving approach the main character takes. It reminds me of The Martian but with higher stakes.

The alien species in this book is one of the most creative I've encountered in sci-fi. The way they communicate and their biology is so well thought out.

Does anyone else think the friendship between the main characters is the real heart of this story? The scientific puzzles are great, but the human connection is what makes it special.
