Publisher's summary
To most people, something as bland and unremarkable as this stone-like object wouldn’t even warrant a second glance. However, as those who take possession of it soon discover, this particular object is much more than a simple stone, having traveled over a billion years to reach them at a specific moment in time.
Unlike other inanimate objects, this one possesses the power to bend destiny to the benefit of whoever holds it. Without consideration or regard for either good or evil, it amplifies the desires of the holder and manipulates the energy surrounding them shaping fate to their advantage.
With each new recipient, the artifact expands its knowledge while passing the sum of its experiences on to them. Although its mission is quite specific, its very existence is the closely guarded secret of a society sworn to recover it—a task which proves to be far more challenging than they could ever have suspected.
From the moment it breached the atmosphere, Earth’s clock had been ticking with the survival of the entire planet hanging in the balance.

Story
The illegitimate son of a peasant, Rion of Tryferos has very limited prospects with only one remarkable talent: when he plays the lyre, he ushers in the supernatural balm of peace to all who hear. This turns out to be his ticket into the palace, where he nightly plays for the restless, rejected king. King Hector of Tryferos is paranoid, because he knows his days on the throne are numbered. What he doesn’t know is that his anointed successor is Rion.

Already cited on the floor of Congress and discussed in the corridors of the Pentagon as a book all Americans should read, One Second After is the story of a war scenario that could become all too terrifyingly real. Based upon a real weapon - the Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) - which may already be in the hands of our enemies, it is a truly realistic look at the awesome power of a weapon that can destroy the entire United States.

Story
Ashley Perrin is fresh out of college and starting a job as a community liaison for the Third District–the city’s only sector with more alien residents than humans. Ashley’s barely found where the paper clips are kept when she’s beset with constituent complaints–from too much noise at the Annual Lupidian Celebration Parade to a trip-and-fall chicken to a very particular type of alien hornet that threatens the very city itself. And if that’s not terrifying enough, Ashley is next up at the office karaoke night.

Story
In the not-too-distant future, a 21-member crew launches from Earth. Their mission: to establish a temporary colony on Mars. Little do they know that colony will become permanent–and the last stand of the human race. Because, without warning, every single person left on Earth simply...vanishes. Now, a thousand years later, the resources needed to sustain life are running out, and the very existence of the Mars colony is threatened. Humankind has only one option–to return to its home planet.

Story
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

The premise for this book is awesome. The execution was perfect. The narrator was super easy to listen to. I listened to the whole book in one go. Totally worth it.

An Amazing Journey of an Amazing Rock!
I've listened to and read a number of McFarland's novels. This author is to writing what a master chef is to cooking. The stories are always unexpectedly compelling and emotionally intense. I listened with unbroken interest from beginning to end, and the story really seemed to have a real explanation for the hype around the 2012 end-of-the-world scenario that didn't happen, and why! I was completely amazed. This is an amazing story on so many different levels, making one wonder at the state of current human societal relationships. Sean "DrC" Cordry did a masterful job in performing this astonishing tale. Kudos to both the author and the narrator. An immersive read and highly recommended for everyone.

The Artifact
This story was really good.It was slow and drawn out,but really interesting. I had trouble with the narration.It would start out strong then get too low to hear.Keep it on an even keel please. Sean Cordry has a nice voice to narrate with.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

great story line that uses real historical events
overall a great story line that uses real historical events to creat the flow of time which is a nice twist.
only thing that should be revised is that itbwas just released, but the timline is already come and gone in the real world which leaves me thinking this took way longer to produce that it should have, or it needs revised to make it somewhat into the future real time.
that aside, overall a really good book

With each new owner, the artifact expands its knowledge and imparts its accumulated wisdom. However, its existence remains a closely guarded secret, protected by a society determined to recover it. Their mission proves to be an unexpected challenge, and Earth's fate hangs in the balance from the moment this object breached the atmosphere. Dive into a world where the survival of the entire planet hinges on this extraordinary artifact.

The unexpected is the norm in this story
What an interesting story. The main character, the driving force of this story is a rock? But no ordinary rock for sure. Travel through time with a determined rock, and the people who share its journey. Sean Cordry performs this story in an engaging way that kept me tuned in and wanting more.
