I enjoyed the way this story played out for the most part. I enjoyed the parallel story lines of the alien(s) as they live through human history and the scientists who are trying to determine the nature of the mysterious object found in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. The tension in the story definitely ratchets up nicely when the two storylines finally intersect and there are some good twists too. I thought the character development was weak and we have to be told (more than once) that some of the personal development has happened since it wasn't shown in any other way. The ending felt a bit rushed and anticlimactic after the lengthy lead up. Still, an interesting story and it reads very easily so I would recommend picking it up.
