If I understood you would I have this look on my face by Alan Alda

I did not realize Alan Alda was involved in science and was pleasantly surprised by the rigor and depth of this book.  It is about empathy and communication.  I enjoyed and recommend the book, 5/5 stars.

The Hyacinth Disaster

This radio drama was well-done; the timing for the comedy was good and the story is cool, with deep immersion into the universe of the story and (too much) character dynamics. 5/5 stars

Dark forest by Cixin Liu:

Great ending and good plot twists throughout. Much better than the first book but still filled with bizarre motivations and reactions. 3/5 stars.

​

Xenomorph

German sci-fi radio drama - meh 2/5 stars

Eternal Frontier by Antony Melchiorri

This one was ok, not great 3/5 stars.  The characters are appealing but the cliff-hangers and melodrama were a bit too over-the-top.
