The first novel in the acclaimed Alex Benedict series from the multi-award winning SF master Jack McDevitt.
Jack McDevitt is a former naval officer, taxi driver, English teacher, and motivational trainer, and is now a full-time writer. Eleven of his novels have been Nebula finalists. McDevitt lives in Georgia with his wife Maureen.
Jack McDevitt is that splendid rarity, a writer who is a
storyteller first and a science fiction writer second. In his
ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that he is
the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke
*Stephen King*
A superlative novel ... bridges the gap between literary and
commercial SF with rare facility and belongs in every
collection
*Booklist*
A marvellously constructed novel. If McDevitt never writes another
word, his reputation is assured
*Science Fiction Chronicle*
Delivers everything it promises with a gigantic wallop
*Publisher's Weekly*
Combines hard science fiction with mystery and adventure in a wild
tour of the distant future. Stellar plotting, engaging characters,
and a mastery of storytelling (starred review)
*Library Journal*
A real writer has entered our ranks, and his name is Jack
McDevitt
*Michael Bishop, Nebula-winning author*
