Sounds like a proper pastime for me. This one is right up my alley. I can't wait to know what decisions the panel arrived at.

I read science fiction books, but science with philosophy sounds a bit complex for me. I like that the book shows how humans react when they are desperate. Humans today can do anything when they are desperate. You did great in your reviews. Good job.

The Decision by Michael D. Komeshak is a sci-fi novel that talks about the problems of the modern world in a philosophical lens. It has a raw portrayal of human nature. It shows how human beings, when pushed in a desperate situation, have both the ability to harm and help, to rectify, and as well as be detrimental to the world.

This is something that really appeals to me in sci-to books! It’s always interesting to see how people write about the flaws of humanity and how we can overcome them.

I always love a book that incorporates little tidbits on information about stuff like world religions and different cultures. Reading fiction while also learning at the same time! Definitely putting this on my list. Great review!

I would gladly think of something to get rid of the aliens. Though I must say I didn't think UFO stories were still being written. Thanks for this review!

This book sounds amazing. I like sci-fi but also like thought-provoking books. This sounds like it melds those together. I'm adding this book to my to-read list. Thank you for the informative review!

I'm so curious about the reason the alien wants to help mankind, as most books and movies describe them as intruders or conquerers. I wonder if assisting human is the decision of an individual group, or of their entire race. 'Cause you know, nothing is free.
