"Kira Navárez dreamed of life on new worlds. Now she's awakened a nightmare. During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move.
As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human.
While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope..."--Goodreads blurb
In true Paolini fashion, this was a hefty, hefty book. Paolini is known for his epic fantasy, but I just had a feeling he would be able to handle scifi as well, and I was right. I don't read scifi often, but when it comes highly recommended, which this did, I will give it a go. Great character, fun space system and world-building, and some humor and emotion as well. Blobs and space pigs and AIs, oh my!
