Quotes
- “Gambini was addicted to asking the sort of ultimate questions about which one could speculate endlessly with no fear of ever arriving at a solution.”
- “We’re talking about something we all want very much to find. And that automatically makes Ed’s conclusions suspect.”
- “It had occurred to Rimford, at about the time he approached fifty, that the chief drawback in contemplating the enormous gulfs of time and space that constitute the bricks and mortar of the cosmologist is that one acquires a dismaying perception of the handful of years allotted a human being.”
- “Ah, Lord, if I doubt You, it is perhaps because You hide Yourself so well.”
- “Secrecy is a compulsive reflex in this country. It strangles thought, delays scientific progress, and destroys integrity.”
- ““I can’t imagine,” said Dupre, “a better way to unnerve people than to tell them there’s no cause for alarm.””

Jack McDevitt (Philadelphia, 1935) is een Amerikaans sciencefictionschrijver. McDevitt studeerde literatuur aan de Ohio Wesleyan University. Hij was officier in de Navy, taxichauffeur, leraar Engels en inspecteur bij de douane. Pas op latere leeftijd ging hij schrijven op aanraden van zijn vrouw, Maureen. McDevitts romans behandelen vaak pogingen om contact te leggen met buitenaards leven en met archeologie of . Hij roept regelmatig vragen op in zijn romans die hij niet probeert te beantwoorden. Hij laat dat graag over aan de verbeeldingskracht van zijn lezers. Met The Hercules Text won hij de Locus Award voor beste eerste roman in 1987. Hij won de John W. Campbell Memorial Award voor de roman Omega in 2004. Voor Seeker kreeg hij de Nebula Award voor beste roman in 2006. Hij is in totaal veertien keer genomineerd geweest voor de Nebula. Hij woont sinds 2007 bij Brunswick (Georgia).
