Title: "The Good Body: Asceticism in Contemporary... By LOS ANGELES TIMES Title: "The Engines of God" Author: Jack McDevitt Publisher: Ace Books Length, price: 419 pages, $21.95 Recently, I found myself standing on a friend's porch several miles out in the countryside. It was a spectacularly clear night, and the stars were thick overhead. Another friend pointed past the Milky Way. "The center of the galaxy," he said, "is that way." Just for a moment, I felt what science-fiction fans refer to as the Sense of Wonder: the kick that reminds us of how big, complex and mysterious the universe really is. Jack McDevitt's splendid new novel, "The Engines of God," gives us this Sense of Wonder, straight up and undiluted. In the early 23rd century, humanity is in the early stages of exploring the stars. Chief among their discoveries are the relics of the Monument-Makers, a vanished race of beings who left enigmatic, profoundly evocative statues to mark their passing. A group of archaeologists is on the verge of uncovering major new information about them on the planet Quraqua. Back on Earth, however, society is poised on the brink of ecological collapse, and Quraqua is about to be colonized by humans. Although Mr. McDevitt doesn't hesitate to put his characters in harm's way, the driving force behind the events of the novel is curiosity, both intellectual and spiritual. Mr. McDevitt's basic sense of humanity enables us to feel the losses of the Monument-Makers as our own. As one of the characters notes early on, " 'All of the important things . . . will turn out to be universally shared. It's why there will be no true aliens.' " Not since Arthur C. Clarke's "Rendezvous with Rama" has the discovery of the artifacts of alien intelligence been treated so skillfully. Read "The Engines of God," and then go outside and look up at the stars.F.
