Seeker doesn't break any molds, but it's still an entertaining novel. The leisurely-paced, intriguing mystery of the lost colony is woven together with a clichéd, thriller-like action subplot. The characters were serviceable for the story, but they weren't ultimately memorable outside of their roles in the investigation. It was sometimes difficult to maintain my suspension of disbelief, since McDevitt's millennia-old space culture was strikingly similar to early 2000s United States. Even with these complaints, I did enjoy Seeker. It may not be groundbreaking, but I think reading a book like Seeker is a pleasant way to spend a lazy afternoon.
