Book Review 2-03 ☆ 《RETURN TO EARTH》

I read this book RETURN TO EARTH. This is a story about telepaths. A couple is confusing how they should save their earth. A man Harl decided to go in the space. His girl friend Ellen decided to change the coming babies to be a telepath. If babies will be a telepath, the baby save their parents and relatives and, brother. But Harl really worried about her and her companion's scientist did the experiment that using radiation.

Other problem is if they elected each own decisions, they will go other way. If he travel in space, he can't meet her anymore because they have a very difficult time. In the space, it past slower time than earth. When he return to earth, she is already dead. But he can't ask some questions to her. Does babies really be safe when they did the experiment? Harl only use monkeys because of they are not monkeys. Is it really true?
Then Harl got back to earth, everything looks not much changing!! There are many trees and fresh airs. But it is the place only trees. In the city there were fewer trees, and grass grow only in places, in the cracks in the streets. Most of all the buildings were still standing, but they were silent and empty. There's no one there.Those generators of Project X changes everything on the planet.
The next day since they gathered again after watching around the world, a man appeared in front if them. He said he is about 100 years old and he is the last person to live in the earth. He talked about Project X and generations to them.Children who have telepath can't live so long and be adults. Almost of the telepath children died until they get 10 or 12 years old. Telepath killed the precious children. People who have no telepath like adult hope telepathy to stop one day.
But the scientist explained "we can't do anymore. We can't stop it. It would never stop."
Why so many telepath died? Because they had a bad mind. If someone has a telepath, the man has to look at himself deep down inside. It's not comfortable to think or feel. They want to hide their own minds. Because it's natural to know somone's mind by each thought and feeling.
They notices they are the only persons in the earth.
They know the sad truth of the end of the miracle telepath.
