4.5 stars, rounded up!This novella was my first read from David Bernstein, and I was very pleased with the purchase!  The story is a series of "scenes" involving different characters that come into contact with this mysterious relic.  Each scene leads perfectly into the next, giving you enough information about each of the individuals involved to become "invested" in their outcome.  The relic, naturally, is the central theme that binds them all together.The separate story lines woven together in this way made for a very fast-moving novella.  The ending, while not entirely unpredictable, was still sudden enough to get my attention and impress me with a very well-rounded novella.  I will be looking up more from David Bernstein.Highly recommended!
