      I’ve only read the first book and wow it was dumb. I felt duped.

      A civilization capable of building colony ships that can reach 1% speed of light and proton sized supercomputers were just sitting around waiting for a signal? Why haven’t these mofos built those ships already to reach a nearest star already? Just park those ships in Goldilocks’ zone and then start searching for other suitable planet to colonize or terraform.

      Not to mention life on their planet gets wiped out constantly and yet intelligent life capable of spaceflight evolved there? Sorry, can’t buy it at all.

      Just a jenga of unbelievable premises.

        Agreed 100%. Be thankful you didn’t read the 2nd book. So ridiculously silly and predictable. To the point of absurdity.

        I love sci-fi. Cool unique ideas, terrible execution. These books are so overrated.
