From the first page, Ertlov plunges us into a universe rich with history and complexity. Set 2000 years after a united spacefaring coalition defeats a ruthless species threatening the galaxy, we are introduced to Frank Gazer. He's a descendant of humanity, a species now viewed with disdain and mistrust by the galaxy at large. Frank, a prospector by heart, is far removed from the legacy of his ancestors' destructive past. His character is a refreshing take on the anti-hero archetype, focused on survival and profit rather than grandiose quests for redemption or glory.
As the story unfolds, Frank's pursuit of a lucrative comet leads him to a discovery that could change the fate of thousands of worlds. Ertlov masterfully weaves a narrative that is not only gripping but also layered with political intrigue, a cold war between star empires, and the eternal question of what it means to be human in a universe that has moved on.

Fans of the "Avatar" series and the "Goliath Chronicles" will find "Stargazer" a natural evolution of Ertlov's storytelling prowess. This book stands out with its fast pace, witty dialogue, and a sense of wonder that harkens back to classics of the genre.
One cannot help but be amused and intrigued by Ertlov's warning of "traces of nuts, antimatter, and fellatio trout" – a testament to the book's blend of humor, high-stakes adventure, and the bizarre. "Stargazer: The Ultimate Artefact" is more than a book; it's an experience, a journey that challenges our perceptions of humanity and our place in the cosmos.
"Stargazer: The Ultimate Artefact" is a must-read for science fiction aficionados and anyone who loves a story that combines adventure, humor, and a deep dive into the complexities of the human spirit. Ivan Ertlov has outdone himself with this one, and I can't recommend it enough. Grab your copy, fasten your seatbelts, and prepare for a ride across the galaxy you won't forget!
Happy Reading!

ABOUT THE BOOK
2000 years have passed since our spiral arm's united spacefaring peoples defeated their ultimate nemesis in a heroic defensive struggle. An aggressive, ruthless species had spread further and further, destroying entire civilisations. Only a genocide born of desperation, the total annihilation of their home system and all significant colonies, could stop the hated aggressors.
