Carpathians: An Epic Sci-Fi Adventure (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798347014781)

Humans have reached the stars, but there's no evidence any other species survived their own sentience long enough to do the same. Until now . . .

The Magellanix deep-space scout Accipiter has discovered the Artifact, a million-year-old alien construct resting in a dormant volcano on a faraway world. And now TransGalactic has sent the Carpathia to steal it. Two ships, two rival corporations, and a race only one of them can win.

But the stakes are greater than they seem. The Artifact is more than just a technological marvel. It holds the key to humanity's survival and, perhaps, an understanding of our place in the universe at last.
