This book includes intriguing topics for discussion. Much of the writing is quite lovely but much of the plot is improbable and has confusing gaps. The extraterrestrial story line could have been discussed in more detail. The relationship between Adam and Lucy and their healing process was well written. There are many ideas for book clubs to discuss although the author could have developed these theories more fully and spent a little less time in Eden.

This is a suspenseful page turner with likable main characters, "bad guys," and interagency conflict. The intrigue, the descriptions of the scenery in the Pacific Northwest, and the details about yachting were enjoyable, and I learned quite a bit. The romantic attraction was a little too instant. The book was entertaining and a fast read. I liked the short chapters and would enjoy another novel with the same main characters. I wouldn't recommend it for book club discussions.
