About this listen
Earth's ravaged environment is quickly making it unlivable, and colonizers want to begin terraforming these abandoned worlds for human habitation. Only interstellar archaeologist Richard Wald and starship pilot Priscilla Hutchins are convinced that uncovering the secrets of the monuments may hold the key to survival for the entire human race.

"McDevitt is at his best award-winning style in this intelligent and wide-ranging novel." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"With plenty of startling plot twists, a heavy dose of intrigue, and an unusual amount of character development for science fiction, McDevitt holds us fast right through to a thrilling finish." ( Booklist)

The other OZ
My brother recommended this book. Loved it. It’s futuristic while maintaining the humanistic element through the teams and flights to sites.

Not bad if you love sci-fi
it's alright if you really like sci-fi combined with archeology. some parts of the story seem to trail on for extended periods needlessly but it's a decent story. The narrator makes an attempt and voices for characters but seems to be limited to New Jersey 40's mobster, fine English gentlemen or Russian for men, delicate flower can be added to that list for women. Russian seems to be the ethnic voice regardless of region. The mobster voice for men makes any of the romantic relationships hard to picture because it all seems like a 60 year old man courting a girl half his age.
