Loul didn't know where to look. His eyes moved from face to face, talking in the thin cheeks, the large wet eyes, the strange pelt-like texture of what could be hair. All Loul could hear was his pulse, his rasping breath, and the pounding of the sea wind over the open plain.
-Damocles, S.G. Redling

''Shut it? But that's not you want, is it? That's not what you do. You talk. You talk and talk and get other people to talk so that everybody is talking and everybody's friends. Right? Because we're all supposed to be friends. We're all supposed to like each other and respect each other and be interested in each other because everyone has a story.''

Love this one so much (this is a re-read). Lovely story of first contact and friendship. The starting place is a little similar to SGU, but I loved that too, so that's a bonus for me.

Because we're all supposed to be friends. We're all supposed to like each other and be interested in each other bacause everyone has a story. Isn't that what you said to me once? Everyone has a story.

I love dreams. Even bad ones.

They looked like a badly matched dance pair, he too short, she to nervous.

Whatever planet this was, there was life, and the environment was not overly hostile to human live.

Our first act on this planet may very well be the act that damns us forever.

Their world, their ways. Their smiling faces everywhere we go.

Moray_Reads When we were little and driving my mum crazy she used to challenge us to find four-leaf clovers, £1 per find. Sometimes it was more expensive than she expected but it kept us quiet and out of her hair for hours! 😂😂 8y

Ms_T How lovely! Thank you 🍀 8y

I read this when it came out in 2013 and enjoyed it. I am listening to it now because it is narrated by Angela Dawe. I love her narration! I don't remember how it ended but so far I am remembering how I enjoyed the examination of communication. This is a first contact story, a sub-genre that I really love.
