If was my first 10/10 read of 2010, an unexpected gem. "Wonderful aliens, an interesting scenario"
"Most readers won't be surprised by Cosmic Unity's bloody-minded missionary zeal, but Heaven offers some great surprises in its big ideas and its richly imagined alien races. Reminiscent of Hal Clement and Bruce Sterling, Heaven is a fun, thought-provoking, impressive example of classic sense-of-wonder science fiction." --Cynthia Ward

And here's the
Kobo US link for those who will need/want an ePub version.
