Planetfall

This book was a RIDE. Sooo many different levels of goodness here! It is a great example of why I love speculative fiction so much. Yes, it is a story about a group of humans colonizing a new planet. It is also really a story about humans and how our minds work (and break) and how we can walk a fine line between striving and insanity. This book was so well-written and suspenseful, I was pulled along until the very end. The ending was so satisfying to me I was sad to realize this book was part of a series. (Like, hard to imagine improving on that ending?) But luckily it seems that the other books are written in the same universe but with different casts of characters and I am SO IN to read those books!
