After being lost in space for eleven years, Gabe finally makes his triumphant return to reunite with Alex and Run after and retrieve a possibly alien artifact-which may lead them to solve the best archaeological mystery of their careers, in the eighth installment of the Alex Benedict series. After his return from space, Gabe is trying to discover a new lease of life for himself after being presumed dead-just as Alex and Chase want to relearn how exactly to live and work without him. But when a apparently alien about Octavia Eliminated artifact goes lacking from Gabe’s outdated collection, it grants the group a chance to dive into resolving the secret of its origins as a group, once again. Whenever a lead in the artifact is usually tied to a useless pilot’s lone unrecorded trip, another clue seems to lead to one of the greatest lingering mysteries of the age: the infamous disappearance of the team of researchers aboard an area place orbiting a dark hole-the Amelia Earhart of their own time. With any good fortune, Alex, Chase, and Gabe may be around the path of the greatest archaeological discovery of their professions. In Blame it over the Aliens, Nebula Honor winner McDevitt, who Stephen King has called ‘the reasonable heir to Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke,’ has generated another terrific technology fiction secret in his favorite Alex Benedict series.
