A gripping read that moves at warp speed Artefact is an adrenaline shot of rip-roaring military SF packed with cinematic action sequences and tightly drawn characters A hostile race of alien biomechs somewhat in the mould of H. R. Giger aliens . . . terrorism, subterfuge and traitors . . . starships sporting particle beam weapons, railguns the size of skyscrapers, laser batteries, missiles . . . And then there are the uber-human super-soldiers clad in powered armour and wielding plasma weapons . . . This, dear readers, is the good stuff A highly promising science fiction debut - a fun, gripping adventure story, with a mystery at its core that kept me turning the pages
