Coming Home is a 2014 science fiction novel by Jack McDevitt. It is the seventh in the Alex Benedict series, and was released in November 2014.

Plot

The story is set approximately 10,000 years in the future, after humanity has expanded to inhabit countless worlds. Alex Benedict and his partner Chase Kolpath are antique dealers who run a firm called Rainbow Enterprises.

After an intriguing artifact (a Corbett transmitter) that dates back to the Golden Age of Spaceflight was found in the home of deceased astroarcheologist Garnett Baylee. The source of the artifact is a mystery as Baylee never announced such a discovery.

While this is happening, the Capella, a cruise spaceship who disappeared over a decade ago, is expected to resurface, possibly leading to the evacuation of the spacecraft. This is significant because Benedict's uncle Gabe was on the Capella.[1]

Reception

The novel received good reviews, getting a 3,67/5 on GoodReads.[2][3][4][5]
