![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Who knows, maybe this is from a different timeline than the one I live in? (You can get away with a lot in Science Fiction). Not really enough, but I am ok with the anachronisms. There are also a few explanations in this book to why technology seems to have made steps backwards since today. I know it's not a new idea in a mystery novel with sub prominent examples as Dr Watson and Sherlock Holmes, Hastings and Hercule Poirot and even Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey, but it does seem less common nowadays. I like the way these Alex Benedict books are told by his companion, Chase Kolpath. Trying to find out more about it, it becomes both a mystery and a thriller, as someone seems willing to use extreme violence to prevent Benedict from reaching his goal. In Seeker Benedict gets his hands on a plastic mug that seems to come from a 9,000 year old spaceship. Those 9,000 years (or more) have not been without trouble and there are a fair amount of lost records and mysteries to investigate. Alex Benedict is an antiquity dealer some 9,000 years into the future, in a world where humanity is spread across the galaxy. This is the third of the Alex Benedict books. ![]()
