Classic sense-of-wonder sf from the author of THE ENGINES OF GOD. We are alone in the universe. We have faster-than-light travel. We've been looking for over 1,000 years, and there is simply nothing out there. The universe is a magnificent, but sterile, wilderness -- and it all belongs to us. Maybe we're lucky. That's the received wisdom, anyway. A new expedition, investigating a mysteriously aborted mission 27 years earlier, is about to turn that wisdom on its head.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Don't be fooled by the title,
By Erin S. (Santa Rosa, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slow Lightning (Paperback)
This is another amazing novel by Jack McDevitt, but do not be fooled by the title as was I. After purcahsing the book I discovered that this is just the British version of McDevitt's "Infinity Beach". Unless you're a collector of his books, as am I, buy the American version as it's a lot less expensive.
