Fergus is back on Earth at last, trying to figure out how to live a normal life. However, it seems the universe has other plans for him. When his cousin sends him off to help out a friend, Fergus accidently stumbles across a piece of an ancient alien artifact that some very powerful people seem to think means the entire solar system is in danger. And since he's the one who found it, they're certain it's also his problem to deal with.

With the help of his newfound sister, friends both old and new, and some enemies, too, Fergus needs to find the rest of the artifact and destroy the pieces before anyone can reassemble the original and open a multidimensional door between Earth and a vast, implacable, alien swarm. Problem is, the pieces could be anywhere on Earth, and he's not the only one out searching.

      Intergalactically renowned finder Fergus Ferguson is on a mission to save the solar system in Palmer’s lighthearted but meandering third Finder Chronicles adventure (after Driving the Deep). While spending some time in 25th-century Scotland with his newfound little sister, Isla, Fergus’s alien bioware leads him to find several fragments of a mysterious device. The discovery prompts a visit from an Asiig alien, and Fergus learns that the fragments are parts of a key that could open a portal to a dimension filled with predatory creatures called Vraet. Several factions seek to control this key, and Fergus must ensure that the fragments don’t fall into the wrong hands. With old friends at his side, he travels across Earth collecting the remaining pieces, occasionally bringing Isla with him on heists that, while dangerous, don’t do much in the way of building momentum. Still, Fergus is as charming and witty as ever, and his relationship with Isla adds depth to an otherwise repetitive outing. This Earthbound entry in the Finder series may underwhelm new readers, but has plenty to please series fans. Agent: Joshua Bilmes, JABberwocky Literary.

      Karen Novack provides the glue that holds together the third futuristic adventure of Fergus Ferguson, international repo man. He and his tenacious sister, Isla, and various friends race across the earth collecting the scattered pieces of an ancient alien artifact before other powerful people accidentally open the multidimensional door to the ravenous, world-destroying alien swarm. The skilled full cast features John Kielty, who fills red-haired Fergus with Scots bravado; Rayner Gabriel, who plays ex-cop Zacher with a bodacious New York accent; and Gail Shalan, who imbues intrepid Isla with a mix of joy and trepidation. Music and sound effects ratchet up the tension as Fergus and company fight to destroy the artifact and preserve the solar system. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine
