I love, love, love science fiction. And naturally, with a name and summary like this one, I expected that's what I was getting into. Right up until page 233, after Emily saves Priya in the water and notices her "C shaped scar."

Unlike most people, I know what a C-shaped scar on a head is. I know too many people who have them. I might even have one; I forget.

Spoiler

It's a brain tumor. And I've read too many brain tumor novels to expect everyone to live.

From that early on, I knew what the book was about, and I knew the ending, even when I wrote that I didn't have any idea of the genre in my currently-reading review.

I'm not going to give spoilers, but in one way of telling the story, Priya reached her spaceship. That's all I'm going to say.
