Echo by Jack McDevitt

2.0

2.5 stars. This isn't a bad story, but McDevitt definitely follows a formula, which makes his books somewhat tiresome. However they're quick reads - beach reads, if you will. They're easy to skim because there's an abundance of passages - lunchtime banter, little interludes about Chase's romantic interests, etc. - that add nothing to the overall plot. I bought the entire series in 2020, and have now read the first 5 - maybe I'm reading them too close together, so the similarities between books are more obvious to me. I'm undecided if I will continue with the series, but if I do I'll be sure to take a longer break before I start #6.
