Two ships launch, but only one can come home with the prize - and no one suspects what they'll find when they get out there.
On June 30, 1908, an object fell from the sky, releasing more energy than a thousand Hiroshima bombs. A Siberian forest was flattened, but the strike left no significant crater. The anomaly came to be known as the Tunguska Event, and scientists have never agreed whether it was the largest meteor strike in recorded history - or something else. Alien artifacts have been uncovered since the 1908 event, and a new star drive is discovered. When another larger artifact is detected orbiting Jupiter, both NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency are determined to beat all rivals to the next treasure trove of alien tech.

Any additional comments?
This was more enjoyable than previous books, which featured only comic book characters and space shoot-em-ups. This was more like a Clancy thriller, especially at first. The characters were much better developed. Finally, it takes a lot to get me to write a review. That should count for something!A new direction for BV Larson

In order to avoid spoiling any of this story I will merely state that for a lot of this book I was not all that into some of threads and the characters themselves. The disconnected nature of the story telling had me convinced that I would be glad this was a stand alone book and not a series, but by the time it was over I was disappointed that there is no sequel to move on to. If this was the start of a series I would have surely have picked up book two immediately to find out what the consequences were to the actions taken in the latter third of this book. Perhaps some day Larson will decide to tell that tale and if he does I will certainly be eager to hear it.
Edoardo Ballerini narrates this one and does a decent job with all the voices and accents.
