Title: Wanted so much more
Review: I am a sucker for sci-fi, hard science, time travel, first contact, cerebral notions, all of it. I also enjoy my fair share of adventure books. That being said I wanted to like this book so bad. The glowing reviews wore me down and I wish I had passed on this one.Grand adventure in space looking for a long lost ship while fraught with danger and enemies on all sides? Not so much, the main character Alex seems to be only a bit player calling the shots while his assistant Chase does all the work. The story moves along crazy fast and any technical or science things are watered down to an extreme level. The twists are all sadly predictable and the entire book seems like primary school introduction to science fiction.Sadly it seems like a washed out Clive Cussler novel and where Cussler knows his stuff and often keeps his tongue firmly planted in cheek, McDevitt seems to be opting for a serious novel.
