“Era difícil saber exactamente en cuántas, ya que siempre utilizaba un nombre distinto para mantener su anonimato. Lo curioso era que nunca se había molestado en graduarse o solicitar ningún título, aunque tenía cuarenta y dos títulos honoríficos otorgados. Esta excentricidad complementa su aversión a que le llamaran “doctor” Uschin.”

The book introduces a multitude of characters, each representing different perspectives on the alien contact narrative, thus enriching the story’s political and emotional depth.
