About this listen

Space sheriff Joe Corbit has just stumbled upon the greatest artifact in the history of the universe. Too bad it's a threat to our very existence.

When a distress call leads Joe to the ruins of a lost alien civilization, he finds an illegal archaeological dig underway. The Chinese galactic empire is working with the Martian mob to smuggle an artifact across state lines.

One deadly shoot-out later, Joe finds himself in possession of the curious trinket. His plan is to auction it off to the highest bidder...until he finds out why the Chinese were after it in the first place.

They believe it to be an ancient super-weapon - a device that has already sent one intergalactic alien species into extinction. Joe has to fend off the powerful Chinese space fleet while trying to figure out how to deactivate the artifact. Otherwise, it will be our turn to go extinct.

This was a fun listen which I quite liked. I enjoyed the mysteries and the twists more than a bit, and it worked brilliantly as a light easy listen while I do chores.

I didn't enjoy the deus ex machina at the end though, although by that time, there wasn't really that many ways it could end. Also, the twist at the very end seems to be a bit on the nose.

Having said that though, it's still quite enjoyable and I will listen to more books from the author.

Highly enjoyable story
