Odyssey (novel)
Odyssey is a science fiction novel by Jack Mcdevitt. It was a Nebula Award nominee for 2007.[1][2] It's set in the 23rd century and "explores the immorality of big business and the short-sightedness of the American government in minimizing support for space travel."
Literary significance and reception
Carl Hays reviewing in Booklist said "McDevitt's energetic character-driver prose serves double duty by exploring Earth's future political climate and forecasting the potential dangers awaiting humanity among the stars".[3] Kirkus Reviews was slightly more critical calling it "a low-key, reasonably surprising and involving tale, although not among McDevitt's best."[4] Jackie Cassada reviewing for Library Journal said "the author of Chindi and other novels featuring the Academy succeeds in visualizing a believable future of space exploration as well as believable personalities whose lives and loves put a human face on scientific speculation."[5]
Odyssey was nominated for both the Nebula and John W. Campbell Memorial Awards in 2007.[2]
