Papyrus to Datapad

This book, for some reason, didn't seem to catch me as much as the earlier ones did. The book was enjoyable, but the narrative - normally McDevitt's strongest point - seemed a little lacklustre when compared to earlier books in the series.

Unlike the previous stories, this one does introduce a permanent change to the circumstances of the main characters, in the person of Gabe Benedict, but it will remain to be seen in the next novel whether he allows his characters to grow from that, or to remain fairly static as they have done so far.

On the whole, enjoyable, with sections that did keep me reading until long past when I should have put it down, but lacking when compared to the earlier efforts.
