Another reviewer said this was an "old style" story and I agree with that.  It's reminicient of the best of classic sci-fi.  The author doesn't cram in a lot of unnecessary back story to bulk it up - the story is as long as it needs to be.  There was no world-building for the sake of world-building, just tantalizing glimpses of future humans and a historical alien civilization.  I was pleasantly surprised by the emotions he was able to get into the story and the parallel story lines were compelling.  When you finish reading, you want to know more.  I would definitely read a full-length novel by this author.
