The Chara Talisman
(2011)(The first book in the Carson & Roberts Archeological Adventure in T-Space series)
A novel by Alastair Mayer
Archeologists in Spaaaace!!!
Terraformed planets. Ancient, primitive cultures. And a old stone talisman with surprisingly high-tech innards.
Is the talisman a star map? Does it, as the ruthless Velkaryans think, point to a cache of alien weapons? Homeworld Security thinks it might, and want to send the archeologist who found it, Hannibal Carson, to go look. Too bad the only ship available is piloted by his ex-girlfriend....
With a thriving black market in alien artifacts, Carson is used to dealing with tomb raiders -- but they're nothing compared to what he faces this time.
Set fifty years after Mayer's Alpha Centauri series, this is the first in the Carson & Roberts T-Space archeology series. A thrilling expansion to the short story "Stone Age," which appeared in Analog magazine, this book has been described as "Indiana Jones in space".
