Better than the previous novel, but very uneven. The shifting perspectives in the last novel was annoying and in this one, the use of the present tense format is often irritating.

| ISBN | 0061020052 |
Though I “discovered” Jack McDevitt after he was already a well-established sci-fi writer, I’ve read a good share of his books now—most notably the series featuring Priscilla Hutchins (Engines of God, Deepsix, Chindi, etc.). McDevitt does a great job, I think, at illustrating the grandeur,...
