A new Alex Benedict novel from "a master of describing otherworldly grandeur." (Denver Post)
Forty-one years ago the renowned physicist Chris Robin vanished. Before his disappearance, his fringe science theories about the existence of endless alternate universes had earned him both admirers and enemies.
Alex Benedict and Chase Kolpath discover that Robin had several interstellar yachts flown far outside the planetary system where they too vanished. And following Robin's trail into the unknown puts Benedict and Kolpath in danger...

The Alex Bannister series is generally excellent and this latest is a much better entry than the previous book. I've learned to live with McDevitt's insistence on having a random event play a major role in all of his novels, and in fact it was amusing to guess where that would show up here. But the main thing is that the series has an internal consistency and I look forward to the next mystery Alex and Chase look into.

The story is interesting but the ending is a bit shallow and open. Not at all a bad read, but I was expecting a bit more.
