The distant future. Earth’s Alliance forces have emerged victorious from a brutal nine-year war with the mysterious Kastazi - a vicious, highly advanced alien race. In the dawn of a new peace, the Alliance Devastation Class starship California embarks on a mission of science and learning with a skeleton crew of seasoned officers, civilian students, and inexperienced military cadets in tow. For JD Marshall and Viv Nixon, gifted cadets and best friends, the mission holds special meaning: It offers an opportunity to prove themselves.

The totalitarian East has triumphed in a massive invasion, and the United States has fallen to a dictatorial superpower bent on total domination. That power is consolidating its grip through concentration camps, police state tactics, and a total monopoly upon the very thoughts of the conquered populace. A tiny enclave of scientists and soldiers survives, unbeknownst to America’s new rulers. It’s six against six million - but those six happen to include a scientific genius, a master of subterfuge and disguise who learned his trade as a lawyer-turned-hobo, and a tough-minded commander....

In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

The year is 2108, and the North American Commonwealth is bursting at the seams. For welfare rats like Andrew Grayson, there are only two ways out of the crime-ridden and filthy welfare tenements: You can hope to win the lottery and draw a ticket on a colony ship settling off-world...or you can join the service. With the colony lottery a pipe dream, Andrew chooses to enlist in the armed forces for a shot at real food, a retirement bonus, and maybe a ticket off Earth.

The urge to explore and discover is a natural and universal one, and the edge of the unknown is expanded with each passing year as scientific advancements inch us closer and closer to the outer reaches of our solar system and the galaxies beyond them.

The Final Frontier delivers stories from across this literary spectrum, a reminder that the universe is far large and brimming with possibilities than we could ever imagine, as hard as we may try.

Publisher's summary
An ancient, alien technology that will change what it means to be human, a conspiracy begun before the first pyramid was built, and a world threatened by an unimaginable horror.
Deep in the Indian Ocean, Dr. Selene Khan enters an underwater dome thousands of years old, one that is fully operational. She barely escapes to the surface, only to discover that her research vessel has vanished. Can she make it to shore 100 miles away?
On the other side of the world, Agent Jack Elliot uncovers an impossible 900 grams of antimatter. The trail leads him to Egypt, betrayal, and a sinister brainwashing facility. There, in a desperate move, he rescues Dr. Selene Khan, fleeing with her into the desert.
Together, Selene and Jack race to unravel a global conspiracy and learn the truth about an ancient, alien artifact and how civilization really began. Two people must summon the courage and extraordinary ability to stop the world's oldest plan from plunging humanity onto a twisted, evolutionary path.
Artifact is a lightning-paced adventure, utterly unpredictable right up to its stunning conclusion.

Logan Willis’s life is falling apart: he lost his job and found out that his wife is cheating on him all in the same day. Thinking that his world has ended, Logan checks into a hotel and turns on the TV to see that he's not far wrong - radio telescopes have detected mysterious signals coming from inside our solar system, and the source is moving toward us at over 500 miles per second. The media concludes that these signals must be of an alien origin. Still reeling from the news, Logan gets a phone call from his brother-in-law.

On a little-known planet, Archmage Varic Vallenar casts a grand spell to empower himself with the magical abilities of his alternate selves. The ritual works too well, granting Varic not only the magic but also the memories from six lives. Including their gruesome deaths. Now, Varic has power greater than any wizard in galactic history, but he knows that won’t be enough. The enemies he faced in those alternate lives were apocalyptic in scale. Terrors of technology and magic. Nothing that he, or anyone, can defeat.

Great narrator, meh story
Too long and too many details that didn’t add to the story. I finished it, but it leave me wanting more!
The voice performance was great, though!

Probably best for YAs
Story starts off well, quick paced and introducing potentially interesting puzzles but it soon devolved into a too-long exposition of pseudo-science and pseudo-philosophy that strains this reader's ability to suspend disbelief. The end is far too long and leaves much unanswered.

Cover not what it seems
OK the cover looks like a crashed space ship, this book has nothing to do with space ships per sec. I almost stopped listening to the book because it jumped around a bit and I was loosing my place in the story. It took about 6 chapters for me to get into it, at that is to long in my world
All that said it was an interesting story but the pace was slow, JMHO. I am not a big fan of Logan White and this is the first time I have heard of him. Maybe he will grow on me.
I never did get a feeling of attachment with any of the charterers I could less if they survived or not. I think for that reason if there is a follow up book I will avoid it.
I thin Vaugh has written better books this was not my fav.

Ending seems rushed
Interesting story line The beginning spends a lot of time giving detailed back stories. The end of the book fells rushed, almost like it was beginning brought to end because of time, length? overall I enjoyed it!

Skims the surface of the main mystery
Well written but does not get into the main mystery of the story at all.

Who build the stations?
What did you love best about Artifact?
A good combination of science fiction and mystery. Anti matter, ray guns and gravity repellers were great science fiction plot devices. The mystery of the stations and " Mother's" secret organization and agenda is a good thread.
What did you like best about this story?
One of the lead characters in the story is a strong female, Dr. Selene Khan. She was smart, confident and has the "take no prisoner" attitude.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Although this book is captivating, it wasn't a book I couldn't put down. Certain parts of the story of slow such as when Selene Khan and Jack Elliott were traveling to the Caucus mountain in Iran.
Any additional comments?
Some threads were left unresolved like who actually build the stations, who was the "mother" character and what is her relationship to the stations? Her ultimate fate was also left dangling (alive? dead? Captured?). I recommend this book as a commute book -- something to listen to during the commute.
