When a distress call leads space-sheriff Joe Corbit to the ruins of a lost, alien civilization he finds illegal excavation underway. The Chinese Galactic Empire is working alongside the Martian mob in order to smuggle an ancient artifact across international borders.

One deadly shoot-out later and Joe finds himself the sole custodian of the curious relic. His plan is to auction off the artifact to the highest bidder, that is, until he finds out why the Chinese were after it in the first place...

They believe it to be an ancient super-weapon.

What's worse, they think it's already been activated and is targeting every human being in the galaxy.

"This is an extinction level event," they say.

All Joe has to do is stave off the most powerful space fleet in galaxy, long enough to prove that this whole 'ancient super-weapon' thing is being blown way out of proportion.

You see, Joe is determined to sell this artifact. Even if it kills him.

Humanity is not alone in the universe. More specifically Earth is not alone. It is an age of wonder for humanity. For all but a few. Our history has been altered, according to one who has visions of the fractured world that could have been but never was. The way history would have played out without an intergalactic coalition of humans visiting Earth. And he cannot decide whether the advanced human's arrival is really all that it seems. Whether we would have been better off as things are now, or with how his visions tell him things ought to have been. There are multiple worlds colonized by a vast space faring technologically and biologically enhanced human race all across the galaxy. Earth is just one of many of such colonies. At some point in our forgotten past Earth was cut off from our intergalactic neighbors and decides to fend for herself. Later we lose ourselves to infighting and nationalism instead of being true to our nature of being a space dwelling, intergalactic human cooperative. Now our space cousins are reestablishing contact with Earth. Bringing their superpower enabled, technological mastery of science so advanced as to seem supernatural. Eliminating slavery, wars, crime, diseases, climate shifts, and currency, with their arrival. Offering the promise of entry into a thriving united galactic empire. (I am dropping in from time to time updating the story with fresh ideas as they pop into my head this is so very much a first draft I have not even decided on names for some of the characters or different factions of humans that are to be encountered from beyond our solar system)

"Hey Celest!" She turned to us. "Oh, hey guys! Took you long enough to get here." "So, what did you find?" Zielo asked, arms crossed. "Yeah, show us!" Aaron urged excitedly. A grin spread across Celest's face as she held out her closed hand towards us. Slowly, she relaxed her fingers, revealing a small yellow glowing- "A rock?" Zielo said, somewhat disappointed.
