I won't get into the plot, because the blurb on the product page does a perfectly good job of that.

The book is extremely well written, and very interesting. It has a definitely thought-out and unusual perspective on the idea of first-contact with aliens.

That said, it was also extremely depressing, and when I finished it, I was quite sure I never want to read it again, and will not recommend it to friends, and do not want to know about what happens in the sequel. It's probably the most nasty, unpleasant, disgusting, depressing end to any book I have ever read, and I sincerely wish I had never read it.
