My books are going well, I am half way through the second book. It is getting very interesting. Lou Ji, a scientist, was made a Wallfacer and thinks the answer to defeating Trisoloris lies in cosmic sociology. As Trisolorians communicate through high powered brain waves, the only advantage we have over them is our ability to think and deceive. Therefor there are people called Wallfacers who are given practically unlimited resources to think of a plan in their head. The book is brining up some really interesting scientific questions. It talks about hydrogen and atomic bombs and how they would work in space. This prompted me to look up the difference between fusion and fission and how bombs would work in space. Moreover it talks about really interesting space ships which instead of just rocket launching out of the atmosphere, fly to the top of the atmosphere like a normal plane before propelling themselves out of the atmosphere into the solar system. This was really cool and made me look up different kinds of planes that are in development and different ways to leave our atmosphere.
