The Chara Talisman

What if Indiana Jones had had a starship?

Alastair Mayer -- science fiction author, pilot, and computer systems engineer -- delivers a thrilling expansion to his short story "Stone Age," first published in Analog Science Fiction & Fact magazine (June 2011, Dell Publications). This mix of fast action, hard science, and little light comedy pits archeologist Hannibal Carson and his brilliant and beautiful starship pilot, Jaqueline "Jackie" Roberts against tomb raiders, religious UFO cultists, and more as Carson attempts to track down dangerous alien technology.
