Sidespace: Aurora Renegades Book One (Amaranthe 4)
<b>Humanity is saved. But its troubles are just beginning.</b><br />To achieve their extraordinary triumph over the invading Metigen armada, humanity put aside its myriad of political and social conflicts and united against a common foe intent on annihilating civilization. In victory, unparalleled peace and prosperity are theirs for the taking--if they can keep hold of them.<br /><br />When the secrets behind the daring plan that defeated the Metigens begin to escape the shadows, the very 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, and a rapidly dwindling number of people they can trust, the Prevos--human/synthetic meldings who shouldn't exist--must take their fate into their own hands, and with it the fates of everyone.<br /><br /><b>51 Portals. 51 Universes. One mysterious gateway connecting them all.</b><br />In <i>Aurora Rising</i>, humanity discovered it was not alone--but few grasp the true magnitude of the discovery. Intent on learning the purpose behind the Metigens' elaborate multiverse network, Alex Solovy, Caleb Marano and 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 and worlds both beautiful and deadly, they will be forced to question everything they thought they knew, including the nature of life itself.<br />*<br />It is a time of accelerating technological change and shifting allegiances as the old rules fall away and the old balance of power is upended. A new world rises--one of unshackled AIs, indestructible starships, ethereal quantum spaces and potent new weapons--and the race is on to determine who will control its future.
