Most of what the previous reviewers have written is true, even what the one-star guys wrote. True, the book is not perfect and the characters sillily behave from time to time. Yet, the concept supporting the plot line is mind-blowing, both monumental and awesome; one ...
A Talent For War
Jack McDevitt
Ace
, 2004
Fantastic mystery in deep space
_A Talent for War_ by Jack McDevitt is the first volume in the Alex Benedict series, an engrossing series by one of my favorite science fiction writers. I actually read the third volume in the series, _Seeker_, first, so this novel had additional interest to me in ...

A fine collection of Apocalypse stories by great authors
With anthologies, I normally list the Table Of Contents, however because it can be viewed by rolling your mouse over the second available image below the book picture, I won't list it. There are 22 stories in this collection, by such authors as Stephen King, George ...

Polaris (Alex Benedict)
Jack McDevitt
Ace
, 2005
Another great installment in the unique Alex Benedict series
_Polaris_ is another excellent installment in the Alex Benedict series, a series which I believe in November of 2008 will be a four volume series. Though later books in the series reference very briefly earlier adventures, the books can be read out of order or as ...
Eternity Road
Jack Mcdevitt
Eos
, 1998
A haunting and chilling experience.
As I first read this book it was very haunting and chilling that it left me with a sense of loneliness that I cannot explain. A sadness for the characters who embark on a journey to find the truth about a lost civilization of the Road Makers. Eternity Road is a ...

Odyssey

Decent story all the way around

Hate Crimes Revisited: America's War on Those Who Are Different
Jack Levin
, Jack Mcdevitt
Basic Books
, 2002
Hate!
It's a picture look at hate crimes through mostly stories that really hold your attention, but no one can make demographics all that interesting. I had the pleasure of having Jack Levin as a professor. I read the entire book even though I'd get it a second time on ...
Ancient Shores
Jack Mcdevitt
Eos
, 1996
Not Hard SciFi But Speculative Fiction
In Ancient Shores, McDevitt uses science fiction (the discovery of an alien artifact) to riff on possible (probable) social responses (government, business, religion, media) to the discovery. What would happen to the stock market if tomorrow someone announced that ...
