Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. There are several sub-genre titles this novel would fit under, I choose any and all. It needs a wide audience because it is: Inventive, Fun, Engaging, Surprising, Humanist, Science-based, Complex, other words that aren't coming to me right now -- and it ends well! And THERE WILL BE MORE! ( ) DNF. I realize she gets a lot of crap about the romance aspect of this book. That's because it's ridiculous. Also, the romance seems to consist of the guy thinking about her ass, and her not thinking about him at all. I do believe there's a place for romance in space, but the middle of a first contact isn't it. Priorities people... 2.5 stars round up to 3..... In Fluency, a mysterious alien ship is hovering above the earth, its intentions completely unknown to the governments on Earth. A team is assembled to travel to the ship and attempt to make contact with its inhabitants and learn about its technologies. The main character, Dr. Jane Holloway, is a linguist who was brought along to learn the alien language and facilitate communications between the two species. Unfortunately, Jane is the only truly fleshed out character in the book. The other characters are one-dimensional stereotypes found in "B" movies that contain combination military/scientific exploratory teams. I also found the writing too basic to be interesting and the romance became too much of a factor for my personal tastes. Fluency is the first part of a series that I will not continue.

NASA discovered the alien ship lurking in the asteroid belt in the 1960s. They kept the Target under intense surveillance for decades, letting the public believe they were exploring the solar system, while they worked feverishly to refine the technology needed to reach it. The ship itself remained silent, drifting. Dr. Jane Holloway is content documenting nearly-extinct languages and had never contemplated becoming an astronaut. But when NASA recruits her to join a team of military scientists for an expedition to the Target, it's an adventure she can't refuse. The ship isn't vacant, as they presumed. A disembodied voice rumbles inside Jane's head, "You are home." Jane fights the growing doubts of her colleagues as she attempts to decipher what the alien wants from her. As the derelict ship devolves into chaos and the crew gets cut off from their escape route, Jane must decide if she can trust the alien's help to survive.
