Book of the Month - December 2024

The Alien Artifact

Since December is the time for conclusions, the book of the month this month is The Alien Artifact—the conclusion to the Settler Chronicles series (for now, I’m currently thinking of writing a stand alone follow on book).

In the action-packed series finale, Margo Murphy is on the warpath.

Life on Thesan is stable, almost ordinary - just what Margo wants. She thinks the colony's challenges are behind them. She thinks it is time to start building her life with her husband, Gary. But her biggest challenge is yet to come.

The colony needs an income, and the rich deposits of minerals on the planet's surface offer a solution. But when the eagerly-anticipated mining ship arrives, Margo suspects it has a hidden agenda. Nigel West is still out there, and the colony he’s tried and failed to destroy now also harbours rebels that his Conglomerate would love to get their hands on.

When the mining ship reveals its evil plans and kidnaps two of the colonists, Margo leads the team to get them back. Outgunned, outnumbered, and out of time, they attack the invaders in normal and virtual space in an attempt to rescue their people. But is it enough?
