From Little Stack

Artifact Space delivers a classic space opera beautifully bedecked in layers of danger and mystery. The merchant starship that sits at the center of the story (where our protagonist Marca Nbaro stows away) is on its way to trade with known alien races, but unknown alien technology and artifacts begin to cause problems. Technological tampering, missing ships, and ancient tech reactivating are all signs that things are not as they appear—and you’re going to love exploring where this story goes.

Publisher Description

Out in the darkness of space, something is targeting the Greatships.

With their vast cargo holds and a crew that could fill a city, the Greatships are the lifeblood of human occupied space, transporting an unimaginable volume - and value - of goods from City, the greatest human orbital, all the way to Tradepoint at the other, to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species.

It has always been Marca Nbaro's dream to achieve the near-impossible: escape her upbringing and venture into space.

All it took, to make her way onto the crew of the Greatship Athens was thousands of hours in simulators, dedication, and pawning or selling every scrap of her old life in order to forge a new one.

But though she's made her way onboard with faked papers, leaving her old life - and scandals - behind isn't so easy.

She may have just combined all the dangers of her former life, with all the perils of the new . . .
