But the Marine she seeks is Abraham Zeeben, whose righteous grievances are turned on their head as he trains under the auspices of the elusive Ghost Society. Scattered across the worlds of the Human Collective are the Pathfinders, embracing biotech augmentation and a contentious post-human ideology. They are the true enemy; their words are a call to arms. While both Djet and Abraham grapple with the secrets of their respective families, they are set upon fractious paths, their fates inexorably intertwined with the machinations of the Pathfinders. And a greater war looms.

The Riskar war may be over but, for Abraham - with his home planet destroyed, his father and brother presumed dead, and his best friend now turned against him - the fight's only just beginning. Apogee, the second installment of Burnworth's By Blood or By Star trilogy, manages a deep dive into the troubled soul that is Abraham Zeeben while at the same time delivering the action and pace that made Redshift an instant hit among military sci-fi readers. Against a background of engaging characters and detailed world building, the twists and turns continue, leading to a climatic ending that will leave readers counting the days until the third part of this trilogy is released. In many ways Apogee is, like Abraham himself, a more mature extension of Redshift. Apogee is highly recommended and, for readers of military sci-fi, it continues to be a must read series. - Ishmael A. Soledad, Ditmar nominated author of Sha'Kert: End of Night; Wow! Lots of intrigue and an undercurrent of political meddling, but Burnworth keeps this firmly on the ground in terms of character engagement. A slow-burn on one side, a rapid immersion into conspiracy on the other, and all the while anticipating the merging of these kindred elements. Some great surprises and the sort of emotional investment I wouldn't generally associate with this genre. Highly descriptive environments, fully-realised motivations and the sort of kick-ass action we've come to expect from Burnworth. The most fun you can have with your clothes on and a blaster of some kind...or so I'm told... Bring on Book 3! - Ronald A. Geobey, author of the Kiranis series

Author Information

Tyler grew up in the Ohio village of Oak Harbor with three baby sisters, a military father and a supportive mother. At age 17, he wrangled his father into signing the early release form to join the Air Force, and his life has never been the same. For Tyler, writing has always been there, and he completed five novels prior to the inception of Redshift. With a Master of Arts in Fiction Writing, his perspective on the craft has evolved since the halcyon days of many an abandoned tale. Countless stories and characters have steered Tyler through the best and worst times of his life, and it is now his goal to convey such inspiration to the world. He lives with his lovely wife and 'Irish' twins (14 months apart!) in the Nevada desert, just beyond the shadow of the most secure - and obscure - military base in the world: Area 51. We assure you, however, that Tyler most certainly exists.
