Synopsis

A rift in space that shouldn’t exist. A secret that can unite humanity, or ignite its destruction.
Alex Solovy is a lone wolf starship pilot with a talent for uncovering the hidden secrets of uncharted space. When she follows a hunch into a forbidden nebula and encounters a mysterious rift tearing the fabric of space itself, Alex stumbles into a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the universe—or erase it entirely.

Across the galaxy, Caleb Marano, a covert operative for the fiercely independent Senecan Federation, is chasing dangerous secrets of his own. When their paths explosively collide, Alex and Caleb must forge an uneasy alliance. Now they’re the only thing standing between rival superpowers poised to shatter a fragile peace and ignite all-out war.

As shadowy conspiracies unravel and ruthless enemies close in, they must outmaneuver political betrayals, mysterious alien machinations, and their own deep-seated distrust in a desperate gambit to save civilization from destruction. The fate of humanity hangs by a thread—and no matter what happens, the galaxy will never be the same.

Starshine is the thrilling first novel in an epic space opera trilogy packed with heart-pounding adventure, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes intrigue. For fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, Peter F. Hamilton, and Iain Banks, this electrifying journey through cosmic mysteries, galactic warfare, and the great unknown between the stars will keep you turning pages late into the night.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

SPACE IS VAST AND UNTAMED, AND IT HOLDS MANY SECRETS.

Now two individuals from opposite ends of settled space are on a collision course with the darkest of those secrets, even as the world threatens to explode around them.

The year is 2322.

Humanity has expanded into the stars, inhabiting over 100 worlds across a third of the galaxy. Though thriving as never before, they have discovered neither alien life nor the key to utopia. Earth struggles to retain authority over far-flung planets and free-wheeling corporations while an uneasy armistice with a breakaway federation hangs by a thread as the former rebels rise in wealth and power.

Alexis Solovy is Earth Alliance royalty, her father a fallen war hero and her mother an influential military leader. But she seeks only the freedom of space and has made a fortune by reading the patterns in the chaos to discover the hidden wonders of the stars.

Nothing about her latest objective suggests the secret it conceals will turn her life— not to mention the entire galaxy—upside down. But a chance encounter with a mysterious spy leads to a discovery which will thrust Alex into the middle of a galactic power struggle and a sinister conspiracy, whether she likes it or not.

When faced with its greatest challenge, will humanity rise to triumph, or fall to ruin?

Aurora Rising is an epic tale of galaxy-spanning adventure, of the thrill of discovery and the unquenchable desire to reach ever farther into the unknown. It's a tale of humanity at its best and worst, of love and loss, of fear and heroism. It's the story of a woman who sought the stars and found more than anyone imagined possible.
