Book Reviews of Eternity Road

Enjoyable story about future civilizations after a plague has killed off the population. The technology and history is lost to the future civilization and they are trying are making a quest to find the history. Jack McDevitt tells a great story! One of my favorite authors.

I really enjoyed this book. The story of Chaka and a group of friends who go on a quest for Haven, the Roadbuilders last holdout from the plague where they stored treasures beyond belief, mostly in the form of books. On the way they meet river pirates, AI's, and find communities they didn't know existed. Very good read.

Really good story, well crafted characters. Good read, too bad there is no sequel (that I know of..) Excelent read for a road trip!

Excellant read very good post world novel.

A good read and an interesting take on what those who come after us will find. Not my favorite book from McDevitt, but still worth a read.

Interesting setting: so long after a holocaust that the knowledge of our time has been lost.

future earth after a plague wipes out most of the population, i like futures that are uncertain like this.

Not his best book, but an early one. That might explain why I didn't care for it. Too drawn out with nothing happening. Could not finish it.

"I was here when the trains came in empty." ... Illyria is one of the most advanced cities in the League. The Imperium is located in the center of the city and is the pinnacle of education in the entire valley of the Mississippi. Many have learned everything there is to know about the rise of their society to its current impressive level. But there is much more to learn ... Who were the Roadmakers; those who disappeared from this world and left behind such magnificent structures and cities? What was this "plague" that took away the science behind those materials that seem to defy the wear and tear of time? Some scholars want to know. And so does Chaka Milana, who suddenly finds herself in possession of a copy of 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court', following the death of a man she hardly knew. ... In order to get an answer to her questions, though, Chaka will have to undertake a long and treacherous journey, beyond the valley, in search of a mythical place called "Haven." This is a novel of epic proportions, and is a very good read, with several unexpected twists.
