Description
When a distress call leads space-sheriff Joe Corbit to the ruins of a lost, alien civilization he finds illegal excavation underway. The Chinese Galactic Empire is working alongside the Martian mob in order to smuggle an ancient artifact across international borders. One deadly shoot-out later and Joe finds himself the sole custodian of the curious relic. His plan is to auction off the artifact to the highest bidder, that is, until he finds out why the Chinese were after it in the first place... They believe it to be an ancient super-weapon. What's worse, they think it's already been activated and is targeting every human being in the galaxy. "This is an extinction level event," they say. All Joe has to do is stave off the most powerful space fleet in galaxy, long enough to prove that this whole 'ancient super-weapon' thing is being blown way out of proportion. You see, Joe is determined to sell this artifact. Even if it kills him.
