Review of “The Best We Can” (2013)
Carrie Vaughn (writer).
Read in 2022.
An astronomer, made famous by a picture she took of what appears to be an inert alien vessel “a few million miles out from the moon”, tries to achieve first contact via the media and the academic establishment.
A funny, basically realistic look at the difficulties that would be involved, without any horror in the scenario.
