But tracking down how the ancient artifact got from the ship into the hands of a maltreated woman and her thuggish boyfriend turns out to be more than Benedict and Kolpath bargained for - as their search leads them across multiple star systems and straight into an anonymous assassin's crosshairs. More than 9,000 years after an interstellar transport named Seeker left an overcrowded and politically repressive Earth with the dream of founding a new society on an unspecified planet, Benedict and Kolpath stumble across a ceramic cup that was once on the now-legendary lost starship. Alex Benedict and his executive assistant, Chase Kolpath - ambitious antiquities dealers from Jack McDevitt's A Talent for War (1989) and, more recently, Polaris - are back in Seeker, a story in which the two antiquarians search for a legendary lost colony that is both a science fiction thriller and a remarkably complex mystery.
