I might have posted this somewhere else.
Artifact was Janet Berliner's project. I'd done a story for her David Copperfield anthology, so she asked me in on this. I thought five authors was at least three too many but I agreed.
I wrote chaps 1-5, and much of the finale. Since Matt and I are both SCUBA enthusiasts, we did the underwater chapters. Janet did the final polish to try to smooth over the stylistic differences.
Note: For the Vegas casino I went for high-concept design: a tall, United Nations-style slab with the front end of a 747 protruding from one side and the tail assembly from the other.
Then 9/11 happened and that didn't seem so cool anymore.
