This imaginative writer of science fiction has written ten novels; "SeekEr" is his latest but you can be sure that I will find his earlier ones and read them. This guy is good!
Interstellar travel was just in it’s infancy at the end of the 27th century but a group of "rebels", very dissatisfied with the current government on Earth which was going through a very restrictive dictator, fascist theocratic stage, bought two ships The Seeker and the Bremerhaven and set out to a secret destination and established a colony they called Margolia. After a time, the colony disappeared from recorded history.
Nine thousand years later when descendants of Earth had colonized thousands of star systems, a dealer, adventurer and hunter of antiquities is shown a cup that proved to have come from the starship "Seeker". It’s value as a collector’s item is great but the dealer in antiques becomes intrigued with the idea of how the cup found it way to the person who showed it to him because the idea of the Margolian colony had become a myth.

And so, the adventure begins; Alex and Chase our protagonists begin a very detailed search which, finally, leads them to the persons (long dead) that, actually, found the wreak of the Seeker and after more investigation and visits to several different star systems they discover a way to find the coordinates of the derelict. A great puzzle, interesting characters, and a mystery with considerable danger. Reminds me of Asimov.
