Review: Old style short science fiction story

The problem I had with this story was that the complete plot was given in the publishers blurb and so nothing much came as a surprise. I liked the writing style which reminded me, I am not sure why, of the old style science fiction, in fact I looked at the copyright information to make sure it was not a reprint of an older story. I think short stories are the most difficult type to write and would like to read a full length novel by this author to see how he develops characters etc. With this story I also liked the way that the main story was interspersed with an almost parallel story of the disappeared alien civilisation which complemented the main story.
