Starshine: Aurora Rising Book One

Alex Solovy lives for the thrill of the unknown, and she’s carved out a measure of freedom as an Earth Alliance starship pilot with a penchant for uncovering space’s best-kept secrets. But when a routine expedition reveals an impossible rift in the fabric of space, she stumbles upon a secret powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the universe—or erase it entirely.

Now Alex finds herself the fulcrum of a galactic struggle spanning over 100 worlds, as she races against time and political conspiracies to keep civilization from burning. Can one stubborn pilot prevent the destruction of everything she loves?

When faced with our greatest challenge, will we rise to triumph or fall to ruin?

The year is 2322, and humanity has expanded into the stars. 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. And in the shadows, powerful forces conspire to bring the fragile peace crashing down. 

Perfect for fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, Peter F. Hamilton, and Adrian Tchaikovsky, Starshine is an electrifying space opera tale of interstellar intrigue, extraordinary technology and the unyielding human spirit in the face of impossible odds. Strap in for a high-stakes adventure and join a cast of unforgettable heroes on an exhilarating journey that will keep you breathless to the last page.
