Not only do these characters show that intelligence and an open mind are required for a successful career in science, but that risk-taking is a big part of making progress.

He could make a miscalculation on fuel, trajectory or even have someone else make a mistake and just collide with their ship and would immediately end their lives. Alex takes risks throughout the book and by doing this he moves the story along.

As expressed in, Sergei Lukyanenko’s The Genome and Kitty Ferguson’s Stephen Hawking : An Unfettered Mind have not only many similarities but some differences on sciences because of many factors including the time period and the physical and mental abilities of the characters.
Both of these books are extremely informative on the topic of science and the theories behind them. By being intelligent, accepting and risk taking both men were able to excel at their
