'Ringshine'

As a avid science fiction reader I had to check this book out. Ringshine by William Petersen is a short story which had me hooked by the middle and then carried me right through to the end. The story examines advanced life evolving outside earth with a slight Star Trek overtone. As a teacher in the middle of holidays, finding time to read is difficult, but believe me I found it! The story line is refreshing and the characters are well defined. I will have to check out 'Antite' next :)
