OverviewWhat if the darkest myths in human history were actually real, just distorted over time? Building a new nation is not a simple task, and it's made even harder with every nation on the planet wanting the Solarian Union's advanced technology, no matter the cost. But when terrorists unleash a devastating, genetically engineered plague into the world, that advanced technology is the only thing standing between humanity and the annihilation of our species. Michael and those following him have done what they set out to do--they have colonized space. But they cannot cut all the ties to their ancestral home, and the sufferings of its peoples. Besides, someone needs to hunt down those who intentionally opened Pandora's Box and punish them--with prejudice. The AI they found at the bottom of the Mariana Trench answered some important questions about the makers of the ancient spaceship, but it also revealed a primeval enemy of humanity. All the holy books warned us about it . . . but we didn't listen. Now, from the far reaches of space, something is coming . . . something intelligent, and deadly, and utterly ruthless.

Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationIgor Nikolic is a science fiction and urban fantasy author. Like many similar creatures of his kind, he can often be spotted sitting at his desk and frantically typing away at his keyboard, with a slightly disturbed expression on his face. Or on some occasions banging his head against his desk, in the hope that this questionable method would make his brain divulge the way out of the latest corner he wrote himself into. His friends are often concerned when he starts talking about gravity drives, Lagrange points, and all the possible problems that may occur when building a ginormous space habitat in space, but they know he is a bit . . . odd? So, they make allowance for his idiosyncrasies. They patiently listen to his sermons on interdimensional portals, the pitfalls of fully sentient Artificial Intelligence, and why the Fermi paradox can easily be explained by a simple reason that nobody really wants to talk to us. (Yeah, he has a quirky sense of humor, and loves Easter eggs. Who knows how many of them he had placed in his books?) In his spare time (and I don't see how he finds any), he may be rereading some of his favorite books (for the tenth freaking time) or trying to sort out his extensive movie collection, which is taking far more terabytes than what could be considered reasonable. (For the love of God, someone please tell him about Netflix or Amazon Prime Video). James Patrick Cronin began his audiobook career at twelve years of age opposite Christopher Lloyd in the book-on-tape of The Pagemaster. A classically trained stage actor with an MFA from the University of Louisville and a degree in philosophy, James has spent his years since college performing as an actor and a comedian on stages all over the world. He has performed everything from the classics to original material in Ireland, Scotland, Serbia, and Israel, as well as throughout the US. He has recorded over 100 audiobooks across an extensive range of genres. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
