4.0 out of 5 stars adventures in space, 4 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Infinity Beach (Or Slow Lightning as our UK version is called) is a good read. I have to admit to not being a huge sci-fi fan, and thus started this book with a certain amount of trepidation. Infinity beach is however, just as Stephen Kind admonishes in his critique of the book, a damn dine story that happens to be sci-fi based. It is almost more like whodunnit in space. I thoroghly enjoyed reading this book, and the heroine Dr Brandywine is a likeable strong character, and Jack McDevitt describes her futuristic life with intriging and exciting details. He paints a picture of his image of the future world with ease, and convincing detail. Its all in this book, murder, space travel, cloning, aliens and a little bit of loving.

If your not a hard core sci-fi addict and you want a good story that'll keep you page turning the give this a go. And all those hardcore addicts, give it a go anyway. Its a good book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but perhaps not his best., 3 Mar 2000
By dsod@compuserve.com (Derbyshire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Infinity Beach (Hardcover)
This review is written to correct the factual errors of a previous reviewer ... The book Infinity Beach considers the effects of a major blunder during a first contact encounter in the distant future. Infinity Beach is a well plotted whodunnit with strong characters and a credible account of human weaknesses and strenghths. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of two female explorers is sustained until the very end and the denoument is reasonably satisfying. If the book disappoints slightly it is probably because of the very high quality of previous books. It is still well worth the time spent reading it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 16 Aug 2009
By M. Gumustekin (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am a McDevitt fan but I can hardly classify this as a Scifi novel; it is rather a detective story evolving around the loss of a sister chasing up contact with aliens. You get bits of scifi here and there but it is not enough; 450+ pages chasing people, events and only 20-30 pages on contact with the celestials!

I wish the author had built the story in the same universe he used for his Priscilla Hutchins novels. He rather choses to create another story line with far fewer futuristic ideas.

Do not read it if you are hardpressed for time and after something like Chindi or Ancient Shores. McDevitt fans or detective story lovers should read it
