Publisher's summary

To most people, something as bland and unremarkable as this stone-like object wouldn’t even warrant a second glance. However, as those who take possession of it soon discover, this particular object is much more than a simple stone, having traveled over a billion years to reach them at a specific moment in time.

Unlike other inanimate objects, this one possesses the power to bend destiny to the benefit of whoever holds it. Without consideration or regard for either good or evil, it amplifies the desires of the holder and manipulates the energy surrounding them shaping fate to their advantage.

With each new recipient, the artifact expands its knowledge while passing the sum of its experiences on to them. Although its mission is quite specific, its very existence is the closely guarded secret of a society sworn to recover it—a task which proves to be far more challenging than they could ever have suspected.

From the moment it breached the atmosphere, Earth’s clock had been ticking with the survival of the entire planet hanging in the balance.

The Artifact

This story was really good.It was slow and drawn out,but really interesting. I had trouble with the narration.It would start out strong then get too low to hear.Keep it on an even keel please. Sean Cordry has a nice voice to narrate with.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

A Great Listen

The premise for this book is awesome. The execution was perfect. The narrator was super easy to listen to. I listened to the whole book in one go. Totally worth it.

OMG!! Excellent Story

I could not stop listening to this book, it was so good. It is difficult to write a review because I do not want to Spoil this for anyone else.
Narrator does a very good job with the characters and the Entire Storyline!!!
Highly Recommend!!

The unexpected is the norm in this story

What an interesting story. The main character, the driving force of this story is a rock? But no ordinary rock for sure. Travel through time with a determined rock, and the people who share its journey. Sean Cordry performs this story in an engaging way that kept me tuned in and wanting more.

great story line that uses real historical events

overall a great story line that uses real historical events to creat the flow of time which is a nice twist.

only thing that should be revised is that itbwas just released, but the timline is already come and gone in the real world which leaves me thinking this took way longer to produce that it should have, or it needs revised to make it somewhat into the future real time.

that aside, overall a really good book
