THE DEVIL’S EYE is a sequel to McDevitt’s popular “Alex Benedict” series. Benedict, and his sexy pilot Chase, sell high-end antiques throughout the galaxy. At the core of all the Benedict series, A TALENT FOR WAR, POLARIS, and SEEKER, there is a mystery. However, in THE DEVIL’S EYE, the mystery is fairly obvious. Even more disconcerting, the mystery is resolved about two-thirds through the book. The last third of the story concerns diplomacy. While THE DEVIL’S EYE is entertaining, it has nowhere near the suspense of POLARIS or SEEKER.
