(2731) The Artifact by Patrick Astre

Publisher's Summary

Deep within a heavily guarded compound of the Brookhaven National Laboratory lies the nation's most protected secret: an active alien artifact. Estimated at several millions of years old, impervious to all efforts to penetrate its secrets, the artifact taunts researchers with bursts of mysterious radiation that may be efforts at communication.
Now, after two researchers conducted unauthorized experiments on it, something has awakened inside, something as old as time, wielding incalculable power and an agenda of doom. While America's military struggles against an impossible power, only a 12-year-old crippled computer hacker and an aging police detective hold the key to the artifact. But they must overcome disbelieving authorities in a desperate race against time, with the very survival of humanity in the balance.

Summary:

When a comet the size of a small moon threatens the remote world of Regal the Earth Alliance assigns the most decorated ship in the fleet, the Arwen, to destroy it. Its Captain, Marjorie Cook, sees this as an opportunity to redeem herself after a tragic mistake in her past causes the death of over 400 of her crew.

(2727) Tyranny Series Bk 1; Tyranny's Outpost by J. A. Wilkins & R. R Draude

Publisher's Summary

The year is 2368, and a gang of privateers led by Amanda Callin is routinely savaging the fleet of interstellar cargo ships that carry freight between Earth's 12 colonies. The raiders attack without mercy, leaving death and destruction in their wake as they disappear back into uncharted space. The best efforts of the authorities to track down the marauders and bring them to justice have been ineffective.
Captain Elsie Danion piloting the cargo vessel, Capricorn, on a mission to the new colony of Mithras is forced off her course when a hyper-drive stalls. Now she and her crew are stranded in Callin's realm. This creates serious trouble because aboard the Capricorn is a very valuable passenger, a passenger that Callin will stop at nothing to possess. If this situation isn't treacherous enough, while restoring the hyper-drive, the crew discovers an unknown colony from Earth's past, and a plot that, if carried out, will place the future of Earth and her colonies in jeopardy. With the clock ticking, the Capricorn and her crew must fight for survival while thwarting Callin's devious scheme.

(2725) Protector by Larry Niven

Publisher's Summary

Phssthpok the Pak had been traveling for most of his thirty-two thousand years. His mission was to save, develop, and protect the group of Pak breeders sent out into space some two-and-a-half million years before.
Brennan was a Belter, the product of a fiercely independent, somewhat anarchic society living in, on, and around an outer asteroid belt. The Belters were rebels, one and all, and Brennan was a smuggler. The Belt worlds had been tracking the Pak ship for days, and Brennan figured to meet that ship first.
He was never seen again, at least not by those alive at the time.
