What would you do if everything you knew about the world around you was a lie? That's the question nineteen-year-old Zoren has to face when the space station he lives on is attacked. He is left for dead, and wakes up to find everyone has disappeared. Why were they attacked, and where did everyone go? The answers are out there if he dares to leave the space station, but one thing’s for sure, Zoren’s life is never going to be the same again...Immortality for Life is the second book in the Aurora Saga, but can also be enjoyed as a standalone story. Excerpt: There was a bright flash of light in the space outside, which lit up the room. Zoren instinctively flinched, closing his eyes, before moving his hand to shield them, but at that moment, and without warning, the ceiling of the room caved inwards. There was a suddenly rush of air into the room, followed by a deafening roar. Zoren was blown off his feet and thrown across the room. For a moment he lost all senses, and then he felt winded and disorientated. His ears were ringing and all he could hear were muffled screams. His vision was blurred, and he was finding it hard to make out where Sabri and the others were. He tried desperately to move, but his leg was trapped underneath the debris from a large girder, which was swaying perilously above him. Zoren noticed a figure rush over to him. ‘Zoren! Are… you… all right?’ Sabri said, panicking. He could barely reply. ‘I… I don’t... know.’ He turned his head to the right and, behind Sabri, could just make out some fuzzy shapes, which he assumed were Supora comforting her two children. He squinted as a large black figure appeared behind her. She turned and appeared startled, before Zoren heard a dull clap and Supora collapsed to the floor, as if she had been shot. The children froze in shock, then the noise sounded again and they both slumped to the floor. ‘Sabri!’ he cried out, turning back to her, but at that moment she was hit and collapsed next to him. Dazed, he looked up to see four figures dressed in black space suits and helmets. Another entered the room and then two of them carried Sabri away. ‘What do you want to do with this one?’ the muffled voice of the man who was nearest to him said from within his space suit. ‘He’s trapped.’ ‘It’ll take too long to free him. Leave him!’ another replied. ‘We have all the others. There’s no more time. We need to leave.’ ‘Who… are... Who are... you?’ Zoren tried to say, but his vision blurred again and the room started to spin. He felt light headed and fell unconscious. Other books in the Aurora Saga The Aurora (Book 1.)
