On the dark side of a planet...

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2022

Marchenko picks up another signal that may originate from another earth launch on a planet, closely orbiting a brown dwarf. After closer examination, they see an artificial structure on the dark side of the planet which is covered in ice and only around 225 kelvin. Adam is therefore glad of his spacesuit as they explore and try and find out what happened to another Marchenko and Adam and Eve. However dangers looms...
While interesting, this novel is not as gripping or suspenseful as the previous. It is worth reading if you're interested in the whole saga of the different Marchenkos and his children...

I wish the author would make real novels, like Neal Asher or Hamilton. Books that has at least 600 full print pages. As a reader I feel cheated

Brandon Morris has a skill at story telling that encapsulates astronomy science into stories that are a pleasure to explore while you learn about the vast realm illuminated by astronomy scientific advances. I could not recommend him more highly to anyone with an interest in the possibilities of universe.

If you enjoyed the expeditions and discoveries within the Proxima trilogy and were left wanting more, get the Proxima Logfiles. Nuff said.

Even the best of us can make a a mistake

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2023

In his excellent 2nd book “Into the Darkness” in the Proxima log series, Dr. Morris makes the common error that objects of different weights (in this case Adam vs. Marchenko in his robot form) fall at different speeds under influence of gravity. Galileo disproved this misconception of weight influenced fall rate by measuring the rate of fall of different objects, e.g. cannon balls and bullets, by dropping them from the tower of Pisa and then using inclined planes to make accurate rate measurements. The rate of fall in an atmosphere varies due to surface area differences influencing friction. Astronauts on the Moon showed that feathers and golf balls fall at same rate in a vacuum. John M.
