Seeker

A startling and majestic epic from Jack McDevitt, the Nebula Award-winning author of the Alex Benedict and the Priscilla Hutchins novels
A working stargate dating back more than ten thousand years has been discovered on a Sioux reservation. Travel through the gate currently leads to three equally mysterious destinations: (1) an apparently empty garden world, quickly dubbed Eden; (2) a strange maze of underground passageways; or (3) a space station with a view of a galaxy that appears to be the Milky Way.
The race to explore and claim the stargate quickly escalates, and those involved divide into opposing camps who view the teleportation technology either as an unprecedented opportunity for scientific research or a disastrous threat to national - if not planetary - security. 
One thing is for certain: questions about what the stargate means for humanity's role in the galaxy cannot be ignored.
Especially since travel through the stargate isn't necessarily only one way...

L'antiquaire archéologue Alex Bénédict et son assistante Chase Kolpath se retrouvent en possession d'une coupe vieille de neuf mille ans. Celle-ci proviendrait d'un vaisseau spatial baptisé Seeker qui aurait appartenu aux Margoliens, un groupe de Terriens ayant fui la Terre pour fonder une des premières colonies hors du système solaire. Personne n'en a plus jamais entendu parler depuis, à part comme d'un mythe.Alex n'a donc de cesse de retrouver la trace du Seeker afin, qui sait ?, d'entrer en contact avec cette colonie perdue. Seeker mêle habilement les codes du space opera et du roman de déduction, et nous entraîne, tambour battant, aux confins de la Galaxie.Il a reçu le prix Nebula en 2006.

Galaxy’s Edge Magazine: Issue 47 November 2020 - Galaxy's Edge, #47

2223. Parce qu'une mission scientifique y a été décimée vingt ans plus tôt, la planète Maleiva III - baptisée Deepsix - est restée à l'abandon. Aujourd'hui Deepsix suscite un nouvel intérêt chez les planétologues et les astrophysiciens : un monde errant va traverser le système stellaire de Maleiva et percuter la planète. C'est alors seulement que la découverte a lieu : une civilisation s'est épanouie sur Deepsix, dont les vestiges n'avaient jamais été repérés. Dans trois semaines, tout disparaîtra lors de la collision. Y a-t-il moyen d'enregistrer et de sauver ce qui peut encore l'être ? Ne resterait-il pas aussi des êtres intelligents sur la planète ? Une mission au sol est dépêchée pour engager une course contre la montre. Vingt ans après Les Machines de Dieu, la pilote spatiale Priscilla Hutchins se pose sur Deepsix, à la tête d'une petite équipe de fortune... Roman d'archéologie extraterrestre, roman de catastrophe, Deepsix est surtout un formidable récit d'aventure et de suspense.

Deepsix

The Roadmakers left only ruins behind -- but what magnificent ruins! Their concrete highways still cross the continent. Their cups, combs and jewelry are found in every Illyrian home. They left behind a legend, too -- a hidden sanctuary called Haven, where even now the secrets of their civilization might still be found. Chaka's brother was one of those who sought to find Haven and never returned. But now Chaka has inherited a rare Roadmaker artifact -- a book called A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court -- which has inspired her to follow in his footsteps. Gathering an unlikely band of companions around her, Chaka embarks upon a journey where she will encounter bloodthirsty rirver pirates, electronic ghosts who mourn their lost civilization and machines that skim over the ground and air. Ultimately, the group will learn the truth about their own mysterious past.

Eternity Road

Seeker (Alex Benedict #3)

'A writer who is a storyteller first and a science fiction writer second. In his ability to absolutely rivet the reader, it seems to me that he is the logical heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke' Stephen King
The year is 2255. The Academy that trained the starfarers is long gone and veteran pilot Priscilla 'Hutch' Hutchins spends her retirement supporting fund-raising efforts for The Prometheus Foundation, a privately funded organization devoted to deep space exploration. 
But when a young physicist unveils an efficient star drive capable of reaching the core of the galaxy, Hutch finds herself back in the deepest reaches of space, and on the verge of discovering the origins of the deadly Omega clouds that continue to haunt her.
