Notes: I know Sagan can write nonfiction, so I thought I'd see how he tackles fiction.
Mini review: A scientist discovers a radio message being beamed to Earth from the Vega system. And that's really just the beginning. To say more would be to give too much away. Over all, this is a pretty good book, and the last 50 or so pages does a little more than border on religion, but equates at least certain aspects of science with religion. It works. That being said, there is a lot of telling and not so much showing here. Sagan's writing style works better for nonfiction than fiction, but this isn't an awful read, though it is a bit long winded at times.
