The Engines of God
The Engines of God | Jack McDevitt
2 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
The first Priscilla Hutchins novel! 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.

Hutch is the pilot for a team of exo-archaeologists exploring why humans are now the only space-faring species and what happened to their predecessors, the Monument Makers.

Exciting and enjoyable combination of adventure and intellectual exploration. I look forward to reading others in this series.

The thing was carved of ice and rock. It stood serenely on that bleak, snow-covered plain, a nightmare figure of gently curving claws, surreal eyes, and lean fluidity.
