This is space opera.  The protagonist is a member of Earth's Secret Service.  The background seems devised so that Earth is in a similar position to England.during the British Imperial period.  The protagonist is a combination of stiff upper lip British officer (though I suspect more like a cliche of one than a historical one) and a private detective.Despite some cliches, something about the story is readable, and may invite you in if what I said above doesn't repel you.  People are vanishing at an alarming rate from what should be an entertaining and educational archeological tour.  The protagonist, his romantic interest, and the rest of the tour group must figure out what is happening, or none of them may make it home.
