An epic first-contact story on a galactic scale.

Humans have reached the stars. There is no evidence any other species survived its own sentience long enough to do the same. Until now, when the Magellanix deep-space scout Accipiter discovers the Artifact, a million-year-old alien construct resting in a dormant volcano on a faraway world.

Now, TransGalactic has sent the Carpathia to steal it. Two ships, two rival corporations, and a race only one of them can win.

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.

There's nothing about this Audible title that jumps out once you get past the cover. The book is nothing special: single-dimensional, written in an even, pedestrian style. Potentially interesting avenues are abandoned (the elderly ascetic who begins as a terrifying interrogator and part-time torturer gets steadily more boring). The voice performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds is competent, especially given the plodding dialogue.

That is, competent apart from a truly awful South African accent that made me want to hack off my own ears; and the eccentric choice to voice a tough-but-loveable female character like a 1950s debutante ("Oh, Mummy, can't I just play one more set with Roger?").

Would I recommend this? Will I rush off to buy more Paul Dixon books?

No. I'm afraid not. Just not to my taste.

Nice cover.
