Synopsis

OUTER SPACE IS NOT A SAFE SPACE. It is the year 2869 Æx., and the sun is setting on humanity's golden age. The once glorious Convergency has fallen into the hands of a corrupt elite, and a lone corporation has seized limitless power over the innocent citizens of the galaxy. But when a noble marshal, a lowly temple harlot and a band of unlikely allies find themselves caught in the middle of an insidious conspiracy, it seems that tyranny may have met its match. Part adventure, part political thriller, The Aetherverse artfully blends pop culture with politics and just a hint of "Barbarella," telling the story of a democracy fallen and a tragic history dangerously repeated.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Joseph (Joey) D'Urso is a born-and-raised Long Islander living far from home, and despite his relocation, he has yet to lose his New York accent. He was born to a loud Italian-American family and takes great pride in his surname's apostrophe.Creative even from elementary school, he has been writing fiction longer than he cares to remember. His published novels include "Devils in Sunday Hats," a tale of redemption, coming-of-age and the death of the American dream, and "The Aetherverse," an incendiary space opera for troubled times.Aside from writing fiction, Joey is an avid saxophone player, having played alto sax for over 15 years. He also has an intense interest in languages (both real and fictional) and graduated from Binghamton University with a BA in Arabic.

Joseph (Joey) D'Urso and Eugene Bryan, the politically incorrect creators of The Aetherverse and Aethertales, first met at Binghamton University in 2008. Joey, a born-and-raised New Yorker, received a BA in the Arabic language. Eugene, a so-called Florida man, obtained two BAs in History and Political Science, and later obtained his MS in Mass Communications at FIU.Even during their time at college, Joey and Eugene spoke out against the absurdity of modern politics by contributing to the Binghamton Review, Binghamton University's student-run free speech magazine. Eugene even received open calls for violence against him by his triggered classmates. With articles such as "LASU: SA-Sponsored Terrorism?" and "You Call This Culture? LASU's Dirty Secret," it was only a matter of time before someone was offended.Sharing a love of satire and science fiction, Joey and Eugene decided to sit down and write an epic novel in their spare time. What started as a fun hobby quickly became a massive project, and as their sci-fi universe grew, so did their ambition. With a culture war raging all around them, they created The Aetherverse to bring some common sense to a world gone mad - and to stir the pot just a little in the name of free speech.
