Sixty years ago, the space yacht Polaris was found deserted, the fate of its pilot and passengers a mystery. Now, to mark the anniversary of the disappearance, there is to be an auction of what was left behind on the ship. Using his insider knowledge, Alex Benedict, one of the preeminent antiquities dealers in the galaxy, secures some of the artifacts. But then an explosion destroys most of the collection, convincing Alex that drastic measures are being taken to hide what happened aboard the Polaris - which is why that's exactly what he has to find out, especially if it means risking his life.©2004 Jack McDevitt (P)2008 Audible, Inc.

More of a detective story than SciFi but absolutely enjoyable nevertheless. I always love McDevitt‘s world building.

A Closed Door Mystery

A mystery getting stranger and stranger, a journey through space and time and gripping from the beginning till the end: must be a novel by Jack McDevitt. In his typical way his heros have to pursue lots of hints and red herrings. This quest up a lot of questions about life and death, but neither the author nor his protagonists force an answer down your throat.

Told from the perspective of his assistant Chase – and the audiobook-performance by Jennifer van Dyck is very credible and a pure delight – the hero Alex Benedict comes across first as a later-day/future Nero Wolfe who is confronted by a mystery within a riddle while searching for clues. At the end he invites the opposition for a chat at his office and at the very end he just laughs …

An exciting tale. And even better: the series continues…
