Seeker

Jack McDevitt knows how to pull the reader in, no doubt about it. He has an uncanny ability to casually create futuristic worlds that feel so real, so plausible, that it is easy to forget this is definitely science fiction.

With “Seeker” he has created a gripping, intriguing yarn that is one part Indiana Jones and one part lost colony/mystery material, set 10,000 years in the future. Told from the first person perspective of Chase Kolpath, “Seeker” keeps the pace moving, creates characters the reader cares about, but allows the mystery and suspense to build marvelously. I thoroughly enjoyed “Seeker” and recommend it to fans of good fiction, not just sci-fi.

One of the most beautiful science fiction book I have ever read. It is incredible how much attention is given to details like conversations, psicology of the characters, places, structures..

I have really enjoyed all the Alex Benedict books I've read so far, and this one is no exception. It's fast-paced reading in a well-constructed science fiction universe. The two main characters are developed distinctly, and I love following them around the universe solving mysteries.
