Praise for Artifact
โWhat do you get if you cross aย James Bondย movie with anย Indiana Jonesย movie? A Gregory Benford novel. That seems to be a pretty accurate description of the pace and theme ofย Artifact. Itโs an engaging tale.ย .ย .ย . Artifactย skillfully blends physics and archeology with a fast-paced plot worthy of any blockbuster action flick.โ โSF Site
