Once again, Jack McDevitt has provided in "The Engines of God" a ripping good tale that is at once believable, thought provoking, and exciting.

Disasters on multiple planets. Clues which suggest unexplained connections. Human conflict and drama. The struggle between pure scientific research and corporate and environmental need/greed. And a universe stranger than one can possibly imagine.

All these are themes which run through this well-written and fast paced book.

Take up and read!
