Out of The Dark was good Sci-Fi but ended with a peculiar twist.

The book began with good solid Sci-Fi but had a very different kind of unfinished ending. I enjoyed the depiction of alien lifeforms (although I'd liked it to be much more developed) and the interaction between "us" and "them" and was slightly surprised at the direction the book took at the end. I would have hoped further books would have developed the ending with additional stories.....I guess, given the years that have already past since this novel was published, more of the story wil never satisfy my curiosity.
