To Sleep in a Sea of Stars by Christopher Paolini - 939 pages
The wrap up of a fairly routine planetary survey mission turns deadly fast when xenobiologist Kira Navárez encounters an alien life form in a hidden cavern. Kira's first contact situation quickly evolves her in a larger conflict sweeping the galaxy and changes her to her very core. This is epic science fiction at its best with intriguing world building filled with amazing technology. The characters are filled with attitude from when they first walk onto the page and make you want to know more about them right away. It does get a little slow in places but the action kicks back in to reward the reader.
