Thousands of years ago, Earth's terraforming program took to the stars. On the world they called Nod, scientists discovered alien life - but it was their mission to overwrite it with the memory of Earth. Then humanity's great empire fell, and the program's decisions were lost to time. Aeons later, humanity and its new spider allies detected fragmentary radio signals between the stars. They dispatched an exploration vessel, hoping to find cousins from old Earth. But those ancient terraformers woke something on Nod better left undisturbed. And it's been waiting for them.

Didn’t keep my attention.
Revisado: 02-05-23
Liked the first book, but just couldn’t keep the story in my head. Felt like lots of telling and not showing in the story, and at the end of the day it wrapped up ridiculously fast and out of nowhere.
Would not recommend unless you like hearing “octopi”, “flashing incomprehensibly”, and “portids” over and over.

Didn’t finish, one dimensional characters and a replayed story.
Revisado: 01-01-22
With the authors forward saying that he never read a story like this one, I was surprised to find so much cribbing of others material. Honestly the story feels like a mashup of many other stories while no one theme is fully fleshed out. Events happen quickly with little buildup and then end just as fast. Characters have little to no development and are one dimensional. And while I have liked RC Bray in the past where there are just a few main characters, there are so many here with limited voices that they all eventually sound the same. Overall pass and going back. I made it 4hrs in.

Moms have hundreds of parenting advice books willing to tackle the more cringe-inducing questions of parenthood. But what about books for the other half of the equation: the dads? Man vs. Child is a funny, fresh take on the parenting guide, written from the dad's perspective. Author and popular Upright Citizens Brigade performer Doug Moe knows first-time fathers are as worried about being terrible at their new terrifying jobs as new moms are.

Slow, more attempted jokes than advice..
Revisado: 01-30-18
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Im not really sure.. Someone who is expecting joke heavy with light "guidance" on child rearing.
What was most disappointing about Doug Moe’s story?
The humor felt forced and trite.
What didn’t you like about Doug Moe’s performance?
The performance wasnt terrible, but wasnt very good either.
What character would you cut from Man vs. Child?
Honestly I only got about an hour in and gave up.
Any additional comments?
I was looking for a guidebook, with some funny stories along the way.. This book (at least the first hour) felt inverted.. Mostly jokes (some OK, most not) with some guidance on kids.
