button at any time and read what Lisa Dumond (SFSITE), Leslie Blanchard (Writer's Choice Lit. Journal), SFFWORLD Reviews and many others say.
I want to post here what a friend of mine said about this story. I think he got to explain things in a way I would like to express for myself.
"Where does science end? Where does fiction begin? The answers point toward the pleasant book of Arthur D'Alembert. The Song of the Swan is a novel that is based on scientific terms and explores, in a very objective way, the possibility of existence of an alien life, presenting an unknown new facet. The author combines astronomy, physics, mathematics, computer sciences, biology and other similar areas showing than mankind is much more integrated in the universe that most of us would like to realize.
The Song of the Swan is more than a captivating science fiction book, it is the collection of realistic facts that could be happening right now, behind our backs..."
Horacio

Much of the astronomical plot was inspired by the Scientific American articles, "The Great Supernova of 1987," by Stan Woosley and Tom Weaver, and "How Supernova Explodes," by Hans Bethe and Gerald Brown.
This work is purely fictional. Any resemblance to real people or incidents is coincidence.
