The Lost Artifact

By: Vaughn Heppner

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

Star Watch defeated the Swarm Invasion Fleet, but at a terrible cost in destroyed star systems, smashed battleships and billions of dead. In the aftermath of the costly victory, chaos threatens as worlds leave the Commonwealth of Planets, face mass starvation or succumb to increased piracy. The war against the Swarm Imperium has just begun. Humanity needs unity or each planet will fall alone. Brigadier O'Hara of Star Watch Intelligence stumbles onto a secret conspiracy. Someone is trying to destroy the Commonwealth from within, and they have an alien artifact of incredible power. O'Hara summons Captain Maddox. Although she fears to lose him, she knows that Maddox and his crew have the best chance of finding the hidden enemy. If the captain fails, the Commonwealth will be powerless to stop its destruction. What O'Hara doesn't know--it would probably break her heart if she did--is that she has just sent Maddox into the most harrowing battle of his career. THE LOST ARTIFACT is the eighth book in the LOST STARSHIP SERIES.

Another Great Listen!

I am truly absorbed by this series. Each book keeps you on the edge of your seat and gives you a deeper understanding of the characters. I can't wait to start the next in this series.

good but

reall good but , didnt quite care for the ending most likely it was done as a cliff hanger though , so on to the next.

as always very good series

I love the storyline and the author really captures the essence of the main and supporting characters very well. I find myself often on the edge of my seat listening to what will happen next. This is one of those books and series that has the right balance to description of what's going on as well as the action-based scenes that you can really visualize in your head as you're listening. I must say that the narrator does a very good job of telling the story as well.

Best Series Ever!

You cannot put this series down, I'm purchasing two books at a time. Space - aliens- struggle- victory and loss it has it all.
Mark the narrator has voices you can listen to all day. Gotta go I am on to the next book in the series.

Go Maddox and Victory!

in this continuation with Captain Maddox and the starship Victory the story adds a new twist with Strand and the Nameless Ones.
The pace of the story and action is great and attention riveting. A very good story. Thank you Mr. Hepner.

Another outstanding entry into an excellent story

Fun. Fast paced. Well written. This is a good book that follows the spirit of the previous entries and advances the story in an interesting manner.

Outstanding continue action of series

I enjoy this series. I am looking forward to the next book. If you haven't started reading this series I strongly recommaned it. It is sometimes hard to follow but the series is outstanding. Do not try to listen or read this series lets say from book 3 you must read them in order.

The list series is my favorite listen.

I wait patiently for the next book. The narrator IS Maddox. For me the narrator is as important as the story. This is a perfect match

Another home run!

Awesome story with a believable characters that want to make you both hate and love them.
