About this ebook
The first Priscilla Hutchins novel from Jack McDevitt, hailed by Stephen King as “the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke.”
Humans call them the Monument-Makers. An unknown race, they left stunning alien statues on distant planets in the galaxy. Each relic is different. Each inscription defies translation. Yet all are heartbreakingly beautiful.
And for planet Earth, on the brink of disaster, they may hold the only key to survival for the entire human race.

I like the ambitious scope of the book. It is swashbuckling but in a thoughtful way. Sometimes this slows the pace more than I would have liked, but overall a good read introducing lots of possibilities

I agree, it could only be that which is greater than the physical realm. Having read all the Pilot Chase books I looked forward to a different set of stories. What was similar was nice to see and recall. What was new and different was what made these characters unique and stood apart from the other set of novels.war Great character, planet, and Cosmic building to make this interesting and gripping to read. Three stories overlap which kept my interest. Looking forward to the next in the series.

A good solid read. Was the first book by the author that I've read. While it didn't blow my socks off. I plan on reading the other books by this author
