Is this book really about searching for ETI, or a woman's quest to regain her father and lost childhood? Granted this event makes Ellie Harroway a more three-dimensional character than most of the other roles in the book, but I can equally see the general audience thinking that SETI is not so much about finding what is out there than what is in the human psyche. Of course one of the Search goals is to learn where we stand in the larger Cosmos (refer to the earlier Sagan quote on this subject). However, if we make every human endeavor -- especially this one -- as nothing more than yet another way to make us seem like the center of the Universe again, then we have lost a very major point in searching for life beyond Earth. Hence this book is yet another way of making another alien contact story human-centric..... Rating---3/5
