Title: Galactic wonders with a human perspective
Review: I won't describe the plot, because this has been done. But instead I will point out what I liked. McDevitt managed to convey the wonders and the sheer scariness of space that we might find one day. He demonstrates that there could be engineering marvels such as the unnatural orbiting pleasure moon, or the museum ship, with no discernable answers as to why it was done or why the creators abandoned it. Amidst all of these marvels there is still plently of room for everyday human pettiness, screw ups and sacrifice. Of all the 4 books in this series I rate this as the best. Humanity is brought to light against this backdrop.
