Genre
The Nebula-Award winning novel from the multi-award winning SF master Jack McDevitt. Also a Campbell Award finalist. Third in the acclaimed Alex Benedict series.
When Alex Benedict, interstellar dealer of antiquities, examines a seemingly unremarkable artefact, he is convinced it is from the infamous Seeker – a transport ship which fled the religious dictatorship in 27th century America. With the help of his pilot, Chase Kolpath, he follows a deadly trail to the Seeker, now strangely adrift in a system barren of habitable worlds.
But their discovery raises far more questions than it answers, drawing Alex and Chase into the very heart of danger.

Reviews
A marvellously constructed novel. If McDevitt never writes another word, his reputation is assured
Delivers everything it promises with a gigantic wallop
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)
Features personal drama as well as fast-paced action. Combines hard science fiction with superb storytelling
The pleasures of a McDevitt tale lie as much in the telling as in the springing of the climax
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
