Firebird

another great read by McDevitt. I have enjoyed everyone of his prior stories. keep it up.

Kept me guessing...

I can usually guess the plot for most sci-fi novels, but this one really surprised me with clever plot development and a really interesting mystery to solve.

John Frosted ,

Outstanding

Great science fiction takes a single simple idea and asks "what if?", then spins the characters, society and plot around that idea and sees what happens. This book plays with two completely different unrelated ideas, and builds much of the story on how they interact. It's double-great..
