An alien shuttle craft lands outside the Royal Ontario
Museum in Toronto. A six-legged, two-armed alien emerges and
says, in perfect English, “Take me to a paleontologist.”
In the distant past, Earth, the alien’s home planet, and the
home planet of another alien species, all experienced the
same five cataclysmic events at the same time (one example:
the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs). Both alien races
believe this proves the existence of God: i.e., he’s
obviously been playing with the evolution of life on each of
these planets.
From this provocative launch point, Sawyer tells a
fast-paced, morally and intellectually challenging story of
ambitious scope and touching humanity. Calculating God is SF
on a grand scale.
