Title: Sci fi the way I like it
Product review: This is my favourite Science fiction premise: in the future humans discover the remains of an ancient alien civilization in our solar system. Who were they? Where did they go?In Jack McDevitt's enjoyable 'The Engines of God' the alien civilization is known as The Monument Makers, as they have left monuments in our solar system and other nearby solar systems.We follow Priscilla Hutchinson ('Hutch') and a team of archaeologists as they try to uncover the mystery of the Monument Makers.The book is quite engrossing and is set up in a serial fashion with four different parts each with it's own rising action and climax, with the mystery only solved at the last climax. It also sets up for sequels which there are currently five.
