Jack McDevitt brings back the daring Alex Benedict from A Talent for War, thrusting him into a far-future tale of mystery and suspense that will lead the prominent antiquities dealer to the truth about an abandoned space yacht called the Polaris.
A sequel to [b:A Talent for War|352774|A Talent for War (Alex Benedict, #1)|Jack McDevitt|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309207072s/352774.jpg|2944265]. It was just as fun as Talent, but that's probably because McDevitt seems to have a formula. These books have quite a few shared elements and plot devices. I think Talent did a better job with its world-building and creating a sense of the setting's history and culture, but the description of the Polaris' crew's disappearance and the universal obsession with wondering what happened was very well done.
