I think that this story could appeal to people who don't usually read sci-fi. It's not overly technical. It is an excellent mystery/thriller. The main character is a strong female, and they don't fall in to the many possible cliches available during the plot line. Highly reccomended for sci-fi readers and mystery lovers!

This is a moderately fun thriller/mystery with a futuristic setting. I wouldn't call it sci/fi, though, since there is really no science involved, just a lot of spaceships. I had a good time reading it, even though the answer to the mystery is obvious very early on.

This novel follows SEEKER, but it is complete in itself. I couldn't put it down, and stayed up 'way past my bedtime, 'cause I just had to see what came next.
Well written space opera with a hint of unknown aliens, a mystery such as the Marie Celeste, and an intelligent (though perhaps slightly ammoral) hero. Such fun!

A great story.

A bit complicated in spots, but overall a thoughtful look at moral problems in the distant future, a who-dunnit mystery, and enough action to keep your interest.

mystery novel set in the future

Not one of Jack's better efforts. It positively plods along and depends on rather dense protagonists.
