The engines of god by jack mcdevitt5/24/2023 Each mission clock runs from about a month to a year. The Academy of the title is the space exploration arm of the North American Union (NAU), with the primary purpose of charting the star systems of our neighborhood along the Orion spiral arm of the galaxy. The novels begin in 2197 and continue deep into the 23rd century. The works of Jack McDevitt certainly belong in that zone and none more squarely than The Engines of God, the first of six novels in what has come to be called “the Academy series”. In the realm between hard science fiction and space opera there is a zone where some of the rules of science may be broken very carefully, but the author may still make his or her universe look and feel realistic. It is recommended that you read the book before you read this review. Spoiler Alert! This review contains detailed information on the plot and resolution of the novel The Engines of God.
