The Cassandra Project

I really got into this book and quite enjoyed it. My main complaint was that the secret payoff wasn't quite enough to justify the build-up. Not that it was bad - the secret just wouldn't (IMO) justify the lengths that were taken to keep it secret.

I've enjoyed most of Jack McDevitt's books, so far. This was no exception. This is different from many of his other books in that it takes place here on Earth, and it takes place around our current time. Many of his other books involve other planets and space in a more direct way. While I did predict the main plot point before I got there, it wasn't presented in quite the way I expected when it came. I would recommend this book as an enjoyable, quick, easy read. However, I like many of his books better.
