After being lost in space for 11 years, Gabe finally makes his triumphant return to reunite with Alex and Chase and retrieve a possibly alien artifact - which may lead them to solve the greatest archaeological mystery of their careers, in the eighth installment of the Alex Benedict series.
After his return from space, Gabe is trying to find a new life for himself after being presumed dead - just as Alex and Chase are trying to relearn how to live and work without him. But when a seemingly alien artifact goes missing from Gabe's old collection, it grants the group a chance to dive into solving the mystery of its origins as a team, once again.
When a lead on the artifact is tied to a dead pilot's sole unrecorded trip, another clue seems to lead to one of the greatest lingering mysteries of the age: the infamous disappearance of a team of scientists aboard a space station orbiting a black hole - the Amelia Earhart of their time. With any luck, Alex, Chase, and Gabe may be on the trail of the greatest archaeological discovery of their careers.

Mr. McDevitt explores this in this latest episode of life with Alex Benedict (but really, Chase Colpath).
Not only that, our heroes uncover a horrible secret.

McDevitt continues the general features of this futuristic universe, but offers a unique perspective where complacency, at least scientifically has developed. After 9000 years, there is a noticeable lack of advancement in terms of fundamental basic science. At the same time, he uses the alien situation as a warning for our current civilization. Furthermore, while there are plenty of overlaps, it is the AIs of the two species that make first contact and form the basis for communications.
Jennifer does another admirable job of narration with excellent character distinction as well as AI rendering without simply resorting to flat affect. Pacing is well aligned with the plot making for an easy listen.
Alien artifact / missing space station

Alex and Chase are still getting used to the return of Alex's Uncle Gabe after an 11-year absence after he and other passengers were saved from the Capella before it went back under. Gabe is trying to integrate himself back into their lives with an adult Alex as well as Chase who now works for him. Gabe had procured an alien artifact before he left on the Capella which belonged to someone who had been on the Octavia, a station that went missing just before he did. The artifact has gone missing and he wants to uncover the mystery of its origins.
While enjoyable I found the first few chapters a bit dull and lackluster. There was no real appeal and even Alex came off as being pretty boring. This was an Alex Benedict novel but it was mainly about Gabe and Chase for the majority with Alex thrown in here and there. I like Alex and he is the main reason I read the novels so I am going to have to get used to the addition of another Benedict male who is going to draw attention.
I also need to voice another thing I did not like about this which is an issue with the narrator of the audiobook. It annoys me when I am running the audio with my book and the narrator decides that they want to rewrite what is written. This particular narrator changed the order in which quotes were written when voicing them. The narrator also changed the dialogue in places by omitting or adding words and sentences. It's no big deal when you are just listening because you have no idea if it is done or not.
But on the whole, I enjoyed the book and give a big thumbs up.
Gabriel, Alex, and Chase work together

Great book

Fortunately, it was more than that. A nicely crafted story that continued and advanced the "universe" from the previous books.
And, it was nice to catch up on "old friends" like this.
So glad they're back!
