The Sixth Artifact

Ben, Chloe, Mark, and the others are off on another adventure, one in which they stumble across another war out in the depths of space. But, this time, there are no obvious good aliens and bad aliens, and things are not going their way. One encounter somehow morphs into a Cozy Alien Murder Mystery. Another involves a race composed of potentially poisonous toxic material that can shape shift. Then, they encounter even more aliens, and nothing is what it seems. The clues are there, but one wrong step, and there will be more dead aliens and possibly dead humans.
