Artifact

An archaeologist discovers a mysterious ancient object in Greece that could destroy the world in this science fiction adventure.

A small cube of black rock has been unearthed in a 3,500-year-old Mycenaean tomb. An incomprehensible object in an impossible place; its age, its purpose, and its origins are unknown.

Its discovery has unleashed a global storm of intrigue, theft, and espionage, and is pushing nations to the brink of war.

Its substance has scientists baffled. And the miracle it contains does not belong on this Earth.

It is mystery and madness—an enigma with no equal in recorded history. It is mankind's greatest discovery . . . and worst nightmare.

It may have already obliterated a world. Ours is next. Praise for Artifact

"What do you get if you cross a James Bond movie with an Indiana Jones movie? A Gregory Benford novel. That seems to be a pretty accurate description of the pace and theme of Artifact. It's an engaging tale. . . . Artifact skillfully blends physics and archeology with a fast-paced plot worthy of any blockbuster action flick." —SF Site
