Across a Billion Years by Robert Silverberg
4.0
Well that was refreshing. This is a old book written in 1969 and weighing in at a whopping 232 pages (paperback). The length is what was refreshing. It had been awhile since I read a science fiction book that was not at least 2 or 3 times that size. Just enough world building and dialog to keep it interesting but the right size to get the story across.
This is a book set hundreds of years in the future in which the species of the galaxy have been studying the remains of a ancient (billions of years old) civilization who left stuff scattered around. The story is about one such expedition who find and follow something never found before. Good stuff it was I thought.
