![]() This is a fun, quick book offers many twist and turns with a very satisfactory ending. In the end the avatar becomes a very sympathetic character. While he does not know where the colony is, or what happened to it, the avatar allows Benedict and Kolpath to get some unique perspectives on the colony and its foundation. In this case, Harry Williams the founder of the lost colony is used to help with the search. One of the interesting concepts in the book, and McDevitt's writing, is the use of computer generated avatars of long dead people that are recreated through what is left behind and known of the person. ![]() ![]() Seeker is the story of Margolia, a lost colony that disappeared long ago and has become a legend much like modern day Atlantis. Alex Benedict, with the help of Chase Kolpath, specializes in finding missing and valuable items. In that time many ships, colonies and valuable items have gone missing. ![]() (A mystery story set in the future, with an antiquities dealer as the main protagonist.) In this universe the human race has been in space for about 20,000 years. These books remind me of a mix of Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones thrown into a sci-fi setting. Great mix of sci-fi, mystery and adventure. ![]()
