** spoiler alert **
*whew!* done. Exhausting, depressing, silliness. And I'm confused, how is it Emma survived to see the end of it all in the year 2208?! The story begins 2010... and yet there she is. And the congresswoman, too. Oops! big error here. Uh oh, would this be considered a spoiler? Well, I don't care .. I don't recommend this to anyone. The open desires for a socialist world order together with the atheist and humanist movements are too in-your-face nowadays and only spawns hopelessness and despair hence the violent world reaction and breakdown of society in the story. I'll say it is "ok" only for the relationship of Melanfant and Emma. I hung in there just to see if they'd make it.
Now on page 100 I'm feeling pretty inadequate when compared to Sheena the squid. Not only can she repair space equipment using sea silk spun from sea weed she gathers but she can recognize star positions well enough to determine her position in space even more accurately than Dan at command center on Earth. I don't blame her for looking at mankind as inferior. *geez* Scary hint that Dan may end up with one peeved-off mollusc.
fyi don't know who Art Morris is - wierd pop up view into miscellaneous, unknown character today - but no, once a Marine, always a Marine, esp when "disabled out" there is no "used-to-be" Marine!
Another thing I can not understand about this crazy writing ... if a squid understands it has responsibility to this mission, why does the beyond genius child not figure he's gifted for a purpose beyond living in a grass hut? and does he really think the village herbalist is the most powerful?
And, um, if Cornelius knows the "Carter catastrophe" is coming "no matter what",then would he really care whether the U.S., Russia, China or Sesame Street is first to fund an off-Earth program? *for Pete's sake*
lmao I don't know who made me laugh more ... the congresswoman's "Carter? Who the hell is Carter?" or Sheena's remembering the male she had known, "the male with the bright, mindless eyes." Mindless? lmao. Even a squid gives you guys no break.
======================================
I am only on page 55 of this soap-opera science fiction ... should I bother to finish? It's crazy stupid. And hilarious! I'll have to pick it back up tomorrow to find answers to these questions:
Will the jaded accountant be able to convince her eccentric ex-husband/boss to start the family they chose not to when married because they once believed the world was overpopulated now that they're given a graph showing the world will indeed end in 200 years because of overpopulation?
Who is this mysterious and creepy benefactor Cornelius? Is he a prophet? An alien? Or more likely, could he be from the future? If so, how many more times will he say "I don't know"? Thus far, I've counted 6.
And, most importantly, has Sheena the squid ruined the mission before it gets off the ground by getting herself knocked up? Will Dan the marine biologist forgive her? Has the congresswoman risked her career by getting involved at all? Did she ever get to pee? rflmao - what lunacy.
