Seeker

'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.

Cauldron (Academy - Book 6)

'You should definitely read Jack McDevitt' Gregory Benford
Forty-one years ago, renowned physicist Dr. Christopher Robin vanished. Before his disappearance, his fringe science theories about the existence of endless alternate universes had earned him both admirers and enemies.
Now his widow has died and Alex Benedict has been asked to handle the auction of the physicist's artifacts - leading the public to once again speculate on the mystery surrounding Robin's disappearance. Did he finally find the door between parallel universes that he had long sought?
Intrigued, Alex Benedict and Chase Kolpath embark on their own investigation as they follow the missing man's trail into the unknown to uncover the truth - a truth people are willing to kill to protect...

Firebird (Alex Benedict - Book 6)

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.

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.

Seeker (Alex Benedict #3)

On les nomme les Bâtisseurs de Monuments. 
Ils ont laissé de grandes oeuvres plastiques ici et là dans la proche Galaxie. Chacune différente. 
Leurs inscriptions défient la traduction. Pourtant toutes sont belles. Bouleversantes. 
Mais âgées de plus de vingt mille ans. Ensuite, plus rien.
Que sont devenus les Bâtisseurs de Monuments ? À l'aube de ce XXIIIe siècle, le chemin des étoiles est ouvert. Pour la Terre où l'équilibre écologique est rompu, où l'humanité court à la catastrophe, c'est peut-être la voie du salut. Mais pour Priscilla Hutchinson, pilote spatiale, et les archéologues qu'elle rejoint sur le site de la planète Quraqua, commence une quête effrénée qui les conduira de monde en monde afin de comprendre le mystère de civilisations extraterrestres terrassées et disparues.
