'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 universe has been explored - and humanity has all but given up on finding other intelligent life.
Then an alien satellite orbiting a distant star sends out an unreadable signal.
Is it the final programmed gasp of an ancient, long-dead race? Or the first greeting of an undiscovered life form?
Jack McDevitt is a former naval officer, taxi driver, English teacher, and motivational trainer, and is now a full-time writer. Eleven of his novels have been Nebula finalists, and SEEKER won the award in 2007. In 2015 Jack won the Robert A. Heinlein Award, given an author of outstanding published works in science fiction and technical writings that inspire the human exploration of space. McDevitt was selected as the winner in recognition of his body of work, which includes over 21 novels and 81 short stories.
McDevitt lives in Georgia with his wife Maureen.
