The Engines of God by Jack McDevittMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This one was interesting because it's different from a lot of the standard stuff. There are still world-destroying godlike entities and action sequences and spaceships and killer crabs, but there's also a lot of human elements, dysfunctional and damaged people in redemption arcs, and a very nicely-modulated slow-pace archaeological approach to problem solving that's very new.
It's Indiana Jones in space, if Indiana Jones ever started acting like an actual archaeologist.
