Yes there is a ton of action and suspense, yes there are cool ideas and advanced science, but there is also a moving human element that I rarely have come across, that made this a much more fulfilling read. There are so many exciting, fascinating, and clever universe details featured throughout this novel and I look forward to seeing how Cameron populates this universe in the future. He and his associates assembled 115 images and a variety of natural sounds to give a sense of what Earth and Earthlings are like.

Artifact Space - Miles Cameron

For those like me who want to read sci-fi but often feel like an outsider looking in when picking up a science fiction novel, Artifact Space is a welcoming delight. That delights me, that they'll use it as their template for gathering astronauts' signatures and maybe some comments about the stories inside the book. I liked the way in which Nbaro grew as a character throughout the course of the novel, especially as she gains a sense of self-worth thanks to her natural abilities and the connections she forges.Marca is such an easy character to root for as she seems to have gotten a pretty raw deal and her plight is one that is very relatable.

Lurking in the background is the impending contact with the poorly-understood alien culture, and interspersed on the journey are several mysterious ruins that may belong to that or another alien society. The most prominent of these is central protagonist and point-of-view character, Marca Nbaro, an orphan from a formerly wealthy family who cons her way aboard the Athens. These are giant starships which carry trade between far flung star systems and most importantly, trade with an alien species for an incredibly valuable commodity known as xenoglass.
