<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>AURORA RISING is an epic tale of galaxy-spanning adventure, of the thrill of discovery and the unquenchable desire to reach ever farther into the unknown. It's a tale of humanity at its best and worst, of love and loss, of fear and heroism. It's the story of a woman who sought the stars and found more than anyone imagined possible.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Space is vast and untamed, and it holds many secrets.</strong> <em>N</em><em>ow two individuals from opposite ends of settled space are on a collision course with the darkest of those secrets, even as the world threatens to explode around them.</em></p><p>The year is 2322. Humanity has expanded into the stars, inhabiting over 100 worlds across a third of the galaxy. Though thriving as never before, they have discovered neither alien life nor the key to utopia. 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. </p><p>Alexis Solovy is Earth Alliance royalty, her father a fallen war hero and her mother an influential military leader. But she seeks only the freedom of space and has made a fortune by reading the patterns in the chaos to discover the hidden wonders of the stars.</p><p>Nothing about her latest objective suggests the secret it conceals will turn her life-- not to mention the entire galaxy--upside down. But a chance encounter with a mysterious spy leads to a discovery which will thrust Alex into the middle of a galactic power struggle and a sinister conspiracy, whether she likes it or not.</p><p><strong>When faced with its greatest challenge, will humanity rise to triumph or fall to ruin?</strong></p><p><em>Aurora Rising</em> is an epic tale of galaxy-spanning adventure, of the thrill of discovery and the unquenchable desire to reach ever farther into the unknown.

As slaves to her whims we are taken along for a ride of intrigue, murder, adventure and a bit of romance. All woven so completely that she sucks you in head over heels, leaving her readers salivating for more." -- Reviews of the Written Word (http: //4everhonestreviews.blogspot.com/2014/06/starshine-aurora-rising-1-by-gs-jensen.html) *** "Starshine...smoothly weaves together multiple story lines with intrigue, murder, adventureand even a bit of romance." -- The Best Sci Fi Books, naming Starshine 14th among the 23 best sci-fi books by female authors in the last 50+ years (http: //best-sci-fi-books.com/23-best-science-fiction-books-female-authors/) *** "[A] brilliant trilogy "Aurora Rising" by G. S. Jennsen. You are thrown into action and suspense from the start and the plot of the story unravels at a satisfying pace, all the time giving the feeling of deeper and even more nefarious revelations to come. [I]t's the characters who really make or unmake a book, and here Jennsen really shines...The Aurora Rising trilogy is a must read." -- Book O' Loco (http: //bookoloco.com/2015/05/16/test/) *** "This book might be the perfect set-in-space science fiction book. That's [a] bold statement with things like Hitchhiker's Guide roaming about, but I feel that strongly about it. Jennsen is one of those magical authorswho make you forget you're reading." -- Novel Commentary (http: //www.thenovelcommentary.com/starshine/)<br>
