Artifact X Chapter 1 With Introduction By Author

The opening chapter of ARTIFACT X! After a more than thousand years-long journey to planet Earth, a voyager reports finding nothing more than calamity, chaos, contretemps, and catastrophe waiting for him there. Intelligent life in the Milky Way Galaxy is squaring off against a new and highly dangerous kind of enemy. And what dear, sweet, innocent humanity DOESN'T know about the raging galactic war CAN hurt it. What was supposed to have been a minor skirmish for our vigilant voyager has gone disastrously off the rails. But maybe, maybe, not all hope is lost. NOTE: With an approximately 5-minute introduction and story synopsis by the author.
