More of a response than a review, as this is book #5 or so in the series and trying to tell you what happened in the book would take too much backstory if you aren't already familiar with the characters.
I think Jack McDevitt has gone the way of George Lucas. He's gotten caught up in the politics of the situation rather than the excitement of it. It took HALF the book to get these people on the spaceship. And I would have liked to see more of the planets they discover, have the characters spend more time with these ancient cultures than fundraising or bickering about principles back on earth.
And? The ending set up Hutch's son to take over. Subtle.
