Thanks for all the feedback, guys.

Anyone interested in this subject matter, the Fermi Paradox, should read Webb’s book. Or, If you have any interests at all in Science/Physics/Astrophysics AND Science Fiction, you will probably find his book totally engaging! I can almost guarantee that it will stretch your mind!!

Cheers,

Roger
