An interesting piece of sci-fi! I loved the interactions between the various characters and their musings on what might be happening on the planet. It was an entertaining read! I didn't find it particularly spectacular, but had some fun things to say.

6 irdische Spezialisten. 1 Vorname. 1 Rakete. 2 einheimische Wesen. Viel Kaffee.

Ich glaube, der menschlichste Moment ist, wenn der Physiker seinem "Kollegen" die Strahlenkrankheit demonstriert.

Crash landing on an alien planet through the lens of a bunch of stale men. There were a lot of interesting ideas in this book but it did not land for me. It felt like a bunch of babies (who can do math) causing trouble in a place they weren't invited.

Sometimes sci-fi ends up being just a lot of descriptions of the geography. This was like that.
