As they begin to decode the artifacts and learn more about the monuments they make discoveries that might have serious implications for the future of Earth, but they are in a race to find the key to that mystery before the terraforming begins. Meanwhile, a group of scientists race to research and decode artifacts on a planet that is scheduled to be terraformed – a process that will destroy all evidence of a previous culture on the planet. Monuments have been left behind by aliens at various far-flung locations in space, and no one can figure out why they put them there or what happened to the aliens. The Engines of God is a science fiction story with a mystery at its core. If only the preceding 300+ pages had been so enchanting! I absolutely love the covers of Jack McDevitt’s books, especially the mass market paperbacks, and the last line of the book was one of those perfect endings. My favorite things about the book The Engines of God are: the cover and the last line of the book.
