I really like some of the stories and don't much care for a few of them; that aside, none of them are necessarily what you'd expect from unicorn stories and they're all well-written and worth reading once.

The Artifact, by Kevin J Anderson (and others), just affirmed why he is one of my favorite authors. Every book of his that I have read has been action-packed and fast-paced. It feels like you're watching a movie. The Artifact was no exception. A group of men, calling themselves the Daredevils Club meet every year to brag about their adventures. When one of the men discover several mysterious artifacts, seemingly not of this world, he enlists the aid of the Daredevils Club to help find the show more missing pieces.

The cast of characters was a group of people, so none of them were explored too deeply. But this was a short book, with only a back-story at the beginning, explaining how the Daredevils got together.

With plenty of twists and a surprise ending, The Artifact will keep you on the edge of your seat. I read through it in two days, because it was so hard to put down. show less

Just like any compilation, some stories were good, others not so much so. Enjoyed it overall. My parents bought it for me when I was nine years old. Finally got to it. Only took 21 years ;-)

The first time I read this I was.. not yet a teen?

I read it before The Last Unicorn and A Fine And Private Place. Maybe I'll wait another 20 years to read it a third time.
