Echo (Alex Benedict) by Jack Mcdevitt
Echo (Alex Benedict)

I like the way McDevitt subtly reveals his "universe" existing thousands of years in our future. His characters, Alex and Chase in this series, feel real as do the situations he puts them in. He doesn't get bogged down in explaining his settings or his technology, just lets these be elements in the story.
