"A major book by a major author. Highly recommended." ~Booklist

"Before 1985, SF authors bemoaned their sorry state of financial affairs: paid mere pennies/word, their books truly were a labor of love. What type of story could they write, they wondered, that would create overwhelming interest by buyers? And then along came Artifact, a thriller that is very much SF but toned down to appeal to a wider audience. The book sold like hotcakes. The vein of literary gold that Greg arguably created, the science-fictional thriller, is one many other authors continue to mine today -- only not as well." ~ephemeral
