Summary

Rainbow is a planet of scientists on the verge of a major discovery. Just as they reach a crucial point in their research, a poorly studied and barely explained side effect of their experiments places them before a difficult choice between science and humanity.

Not this time !

It could be a good story but for me it was to hard to connect which could be because of the translation from Russian or it might be a continuation to other books ( a part of a series from the same galaxy and how they even arrived to that planet ).
So I truly apologize, I do like giving stars ( usually more then deserve ) but this time I just couldn’t even so that it was written and narrated beautifully I just couldn’t get the whole story and the science behind it all.
One thing for sure, if it was anybody else instead of the Russians that ship would never have taken off.

My apologies,

Oded Ostfeld.
