Overview: A fine collection of Jack McDevitt’s more recent short fiction. McDevitt explores interesting ideas - on Earth, in space, in the present, and the future. He tends toward the rational and the ‘“hard sf” explanation but can use rationality to effectively touch emotional chords, as he does in the effective ‘The Holding Pattern’. I particularly enjoyed ‘The Big Downtown’, a hard-boiled mystery in his futuristic Academy universe but set wholly on Earth. McDevitt makes his characters and settings approachable, which may sometimes rob his stories of punch, but always leaves them very readable.
