Not your dad's science fiction

Intelligence does not mean two legged humanoid creatures with speech as medium of communication, two hind legs and arms with neat human like societies. What if intelligence developed amongst creatures who looked nothing like you...

No

Book One is Children of Time and it was dreary and monotonous and couldn't wait to finish. I ended up tuning pages and when I started this Book 2, it's more of the same so after starting it, I just closed it and put in the pile of give-aways. I do not recommend, It's an annoying read.
