The Artifact, Book 2

By: Joshua T. Calvert

Narrated by: Adam Verner

The explosive finale of the thrilling duology!

Betrayed by shadowy government forces, FBI agents Thor Dejeune and Maya Wilson are forced into hiding. Across the Atlantic, Marcus Brown is abducted and ordered to uncover a secret he never knew existed: What is the artifact—and why is half the world desperate to find it?

Racing to follow his trail with the help of a mysterious ally, Thor and Maya close in, while in Washington, D.C., investigative journalist Michelle Nunez and rookie congressman Bob Greenwich dig into billions vanishing into covert government projects. Every clue they follow tightens the noose.

Hunted on both sides of the ocean, they must outwit their enemies and expose the greatest conspiracy in history—before it swallows them whole.

The book seemed to be in search of a story

I didn’t like the narrator’s energy. It was too subdued. The story like seemed to be searching for focus and characters.
