Review by Library Journal Review

When antiquities dealer Alex Benedict and his assistant Chase Kolpath find items from the estate of noted physicist Chris Robin, who vanished mysteriously 40 years earlier, they uncover a story of experimental space yachts set adrift and mysterious ships that suggest contact with other dimensions. An intriguing mystery involving the possible true sentience of artificial intelligences adds another layer to the plot. VERDICT Mc-Devitt's sixth far-future mystery featuring Alex and Chase (Echo; The Devil's Eye) delivers a complex and attention-grabbing puzzle that should please fans. (c) Copyright 2011.
