This was very creative and engaging piece of work, though not one without a message as well. Loved this piece.

Amazing story. I wish there was a sequal or some sort of continuation, but then again, sometimes those kill the story.

Very interesting. The quote at the end was fitting.

If I came across this in a book store I would definately buy it! I hope you treat us all to a sequel!

Extremely creative and engaging. The length makes it a good read and yet not too long. I hope you continue this story. Thanks for R&R'in mine. Keep it up.

Suspensful, imaginitive, and awinspiring, this short story really is a great story. Writen with an air of professionalism and descriptive detail, this is the kind of story I've been searching for on fictionpress and had found like a shiny diamond inside a trunk full of copper pennies.

this is a good story. write mor e. let me knwo when you do. Freedomfromschool@yahoo.com

this is really interesting. it reminds me of independence day. (kind of sort of) it's good.

For whatever it's worth, I thought this was an extremely well written story. Yes, as another reviewer said, it's kind of maudlin, but that's what makes it such a nice change from the everyday. I can see why people are clamoring for a sequel, the alien race you've created (not to mention the human cast of characters) is amazingly fleshed out for such a short piece. It boggles the mind to think about what you might do if you made this into a novel-length story. Please, write more.

This got off to a great start, then went completely downhill from the first mention of the Pioneer project on Earth. If there really were so many problems spinning through the mind of the project scientist why would the plaque on the stupid thing stay at the forefront of her mind throughout three decades, so much so that when she's called to the White House the very first thing she thought about was Pioneer? What, she never worked on anything else in the intervening time? And a couple of your reviewers mentioned that they were glad there were no sci-fi cliches, but I think you could have used a lot more of them, especially of the aliens-attack-and-humanity-kicks-butt variety. You could have made this more suspenseful and longer, and thus a more enjoyable read. The way it reads now it's just maudlin.

This story has potential to be a great novel. It starts well, and reads like a treat, but the end seems rushed. However, it leaves room for a sequel.
An excellent story

Whoa. Write a novel and publish it, so I can read it.
(In case you couldn't tell, I liked the story. ^_^)

A good read with only minor spelling errors.

I liked your other works before at fanfiction.net.

I just have one thing to say love it !!! Please write more !!! Can I have some more ... Please !!!

Well, that definitely makes for a change from the benevolent superraces that people much SF literature. I liked it.

Ooh . . . is there a sequel? U could go far, even into The Published World, with this ;) Where did the famous last words come from? It's a pretty good story, mostly unique (u know, aside from the fact alien invasion is a really cliched plot, u've made it into something new), and it doesn't need a run through a spell checker like so many others . . .
