I also did not love it. The premise is fascinating and is relatively unique as far as 'first contact' stories go. At the end of the day, though, the first book is much more about Chinese history than aliens, and the 'science' part of the science fiction is so garbage that I had a hard time getting through it. I recommend "Blindsight" by Peter Watts if you're looking for a really cool first-contact story.

He has a WIFE you know.... Intercontinentia... Intercontinentia BUTTOCKS.

But if you were to stand in OfficeMax, pull out bread and meats... I'm just sayin, lets MAKE it happen
