Banished.
Will she be able to find her way back home, or even understand this new world of gods and magic, or will she die trying?
Rise of the Empyrean Empire – This series is space opera / science fiction. Space, technology, other worlds, aggressive and far more powerful aliens, artificial intelligence, evolution, and advances to the point humanity doesn’t have to work to maintain infrastructure.
The first book is titled: Scout Ship
Michael Williams followed in his father’s footsteps, and joined the UEDF, the United Earth Defense Force, when he turned eighteen. Due to heroism and long distinguished service he’s elevated to the rank of Lt. Commander when most of his peers have just attained senior lieutenant. His career appears to be going very well.
The year is 2263, and the UEDF is in several star systems in a twenty-light year radius from earth, but are expanding even further. He’s assigned to a one year exploratory mission to become accustomed to his new rank, one that will finally culminate in reaching a new star system, 61-Virginis is just short of twenty-eight light years away, and he’s excited to be one of the first humans in a new solar system as they finish the race across the void between stars in the scout ship Columbus.
There will be challenges he never imagined though, especially not on a simple survey mission. Because mankind always thought they were alone in the stars. They’re about to find out they’re wrong, very wrong…
Book Description
Scott was doing well and things were rolling along. Humanity had never flourished so well, and there were endless possibilities ahead of them. There’s a few internal politics to deal with, as well as the races living in the protected territory, as his build site is compromised bringing up questions. It seems humanity’s time of cooperation may be nearing an end as well, though thankfully war seemed unlikely.
There were endless threats as well, along a new and astonishing path of exploration. More than he ever imagined, thanks to Melody’s latest breakthrough.
That and more will take Scott’s focus, if humanity is to survive.
Author’s note: This is primarily a space opera. The fantasy elements of the book are tangential at best, and I don’t believe that will change through the rest of the series. Oh, there’s mages, shifters, witches, and vampires in these pages, but that’s really not the focus.
