Review title: Another enjoyable old fashioned space adventure
Product review: Jack McDevitt is one of the authors I look forward to the most. I love challenging, take-no-prisoners SF, but once a year it's great to settle down with an easy, enjoyable read. His writing is concise, his plots are clear, he has a great sense of humour and there are always heroes to cheer and wonders to discover. His science is always inventive and interesting.The setting is Earth in the 23rd century, and most of the action takes place on "Academy" ships, science vessels exploring and investigating phenomena in deep space. Famed Academy pilot Hutch and some other familiar faces are back, and it's more fun if you have read at least one other Hutch story, but McDevitt makes sure that the novel can stand alone.Only 4 stars because it doesn't have as much adventure as the other books in the series, but for a fast, fun read, 'Odyssey' doesn't disappoint.
