Seeker (Paperback)

Customer Review

So far, I have always taken great pleasure in reading the novels McDevitt, there it was less the case.

With seeker, which predates the productions concerning the world of the academy, we are also in the presence of puzzles and archaeological finds in the distant future, not very distant, we must admit, in terms of civilization.

The novel revolves around the middle of experts and cheerfully inquired to know, Why and How of concealment of a fabulous archaeological find.

The rider and neat style of the author is present, justifying a Nebula award, I guess ...

This novel has nothing of absolutely exciting, however it is not bad (far from it), there are fabulous including descriptions and characterization is good.
However I would describe and subjectively, anecdotal and honest distraction.

Personally I read it on autopilot and it was an entertaining read jokes, but certainly not transcendental ...
The side dined in town and antique neo 19th century archaeologist me I confess enormously broken feet.

This text has no major flaws, but I have not hooked at all with the quest that drives this novel and perhaps staff ..

I would not say one thing that publisher appears in some of his collections are clearly oriented towards the publication of texts SF wacky enough, except the solid values ​​that are already in its catalog. the fact that they do not publish an Orthodox SF text does not surprise me at all to a publisher that has become primarily as others elsewhere, a fancy editor and occasional science fiction and science- goofy fiction quite frequently.

By cons I notice a comely flowering authentic SF production elsewhere, including among small publishers ...
