SIDESPACE (Aurora Renegades Book One)
Humanity is saved. But its troubles are just beginning.
To achieve their extraordinary triumph over the Metigen armada, humanity put aside its myriad of conflicts & united against a common foe intent on annihilating civilization. In victory, unparalleled peace & prosperity are theirs for the taking–if they can keep hold of them.

When the secrets behind the Metigens’ defeat escape the shadows, the people who won the war find their lives in danger. Facing anti-synthetic terrorists who want them dead, power-hungry politicians who want them chained, & a rapidly dwindling number of people they can trust, the Prevos–individuals & AIs sharing a single body–must take their fate into their own hands.

51 Portals. 51 Universes.
Intent on learning the purpose behind the Metigens’ elaborate multiverse network, Alex Solovy, Caleb Marano & Valkyrie embark on a gripping journey through the network’s portals, each one leading to a universe not their own. In a mosaic of spaces inhabited by fantastical aliens & worlds both beautiful & deadly, they will be forced to question everything they thought they knew, including the nature of life itself.

** The thrilling finale trilogy to the 25-book Amaranthe saga begins **

A war has raged for endless aeons. Our greatest champions have fought it again and again in a tireless endeavor to save not merely innumerable lives, but existence itself.

It is a war that has never been won. But there has never been a timeline like this one before.

When Alex Solovy deactivated the Piega Strai to save two billion Elakri from annihilation, she never imagined the consequences would ripple across the universe. Now the Dzhvar, ancient devourers of the cosmic manifold, have returned from their million-year exile. And the weapon that once repelled them, diati, is nowhere to be found.

Though haunted by guilt, loss, and the weight of a relentless cycle of sacrifice, Alex and her allies—warriors, scientists, sentient planets and primordial beings—must step up to confront an impossible enemy. While Miriam marshals fleets to battle a foe no armament can touch and Alex probes scars in the cosmic fabric to solve a puzzle that spans time and space, Nika’s quest to unlock new kyoseil abilities pushes her ever closer to discovering the devastating truth about her past and future.

Secrets a million years in the making are about to come into the light.

In this epic opening to the Amaranthe saga’s final trilogy, destinies long foretold collide with shocking new revelations. Every alliance created, every technological marvel invented and every hero forged will be brought to bear against an enemy that threatens to unravel the very threads of the universe.

If Alex Solovy has anything to say about it, for the last time.

* A stand-alone adventure set in the Amaranthe universe *

The Hesgyr are thieves. “Scavengers,” to hear their victims tell it; “repurposers” by their own reckoning.

As Chief of Intelligence for Non-Anaden Affairs, Eren Savitas’ job is to protect the Advocacy from all manner of alien threats: sabotage, assassination, insurgency and, way down the list, theft. So when he spots a Hesgyr running off with valuable technology, he follows the alien home—and discovers a civilization unlike any he’s ever encountered.

Yes, the Hesgyr are thieves. But they are also being hunted. Systematically exterminated by an insidious enemy they can’t see, touch or find. Eren finds himself drawn ever deeper into the Hesgyr’s fascinating yet labyrinthine world as he races against time to solve the mystery of the deadly attacks. What he discovers is a complex web of loyalties and betrayals, of grudges and grievances millennia old—and beneath it all, a secret that may hold the key to the survival of more than one civilization.

The Thief is a humorous, pulse-pounding sci-fi adventure about alien culture clashes, the flaws and foibles that transcend species, and the satisfaction that comes from breaking all the rules to save the day.
