  "description": "🐙🌊🚀🕷️🧑‍🚀 The octopus book! I enjoyed the hell out of this — more than Children of Time even. It benefits from the historical context so thoroughly laid out in its predecessor and expands beautifully upon it. Explorers from Kern’s world — an alliance of humans and spiders – find yet another human-seeded world and an altogether different uplifted evolutionary branch in the form of an advanced civilization of octopuses. Oh! And alien life on nod and a prologue of peaceful exploration and expansion. Everything I want out of sci-fi, meticulously researched and eloquently presented. Now to dive into Children of Memory (as different as I’m told it is from the first two entries in the series).",
