Artifacts
by John Walker
Able Monroe went out to the Nevada desert hunting space rocks.
What his trowel strikes two meters down isn't one of them. It isn't anything he can name. And it's far too big to dig up alone. Lucky for him, his two best friends came along for the ride.
Able makes one mistake. He keeps digging.
That's when his ordinary life ends. Swept off their own planet and flung across the stars, the three friends land in a galaxy with one favorite pastime: hunting lost relics. Fortunes change hands on a single find. They don't know the rules. They don't know the players. But they didn't arrive empty-handed, and out here, word of a new find travels fast.
Some finds make a man rich. This one takes him and his friends on the ride of their lives.
