Review title: Extremely Disappointing
Product review: About 350 pages too long. Slow, plodding, laborious, and in the end goes nowhere. I really hate wasting my time and money on short stories grossly inflated simply to make more money. McDevitt never really gives you much of any 'meat' in his perenially empty universe; just nibbles and bites of ancient civilizations and advanced aliens. But this book just gives you nothing at all! Old Jack must really have no respect for his readership. I slugged my way through his other books hoping against hope that something would come of all the thousands of pages of prose but I'm left feeling used. I'll never read another of his books again. Life is simply too short.
