Starshine

Space is vast and untamed, and it holds many secrets.The year is 2322. Humanity has expanded into the stars, inhabiting over 100 worlds across a third of the galaxy. 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.               Alex Solovy is a space scout for hire. When she takes a routine job to chase down an errant signal in the Metis Nebula, nothing suggests the secret it conceals will turn her life—not to mention the entire galaxy—upside down. But a chance discovery reveals a terrifying truth: we are not alone. And we are not ready.Now Alex, acerbic loner and recalcitrant wanderer, must navigate a galactic power struggle, a political conspiracy and the worst impulses of human nature to expose a threat on two fronts and avert all-out war. The fate of civilization hangs in the balance.When faced with our greatest challenge, will we rise to triumph or fall to ruin?Starshine is a riveting tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the unyielding human spirit. G. S. Jennsen weaves a masterful narrative that will keep readers on the edge of their seats, immersing them in a richly imagined world of interstellar intrigue and extraordinary technology as she whisks them along on an exhilarating journey, where the choices of one individual may determine humanity’s destiny.***AMARANTHE UNIVERSE:------------------------------------------------~ AURORA RHAPSODY ~ (should be read in order)AURORA RISING TRILOGY#1: STARSHINE (Aurora Rising Book One)#2: VERTIGO (Aurora Rising Book Two)#3: TRANSCENDENCE (Aurora Rising Book Three)AURORA RENEGADES TRILOGY#4: SIDESPACE (Aurora Renegades Book One)#5: DISSONANCE (Aurora Renegades Book Two)#6: ABYSM (Aurora Renegades Book Three)AURORA RESONANT TRILOGY#7: RELATIVITY (Aurora Resonant Book One)#8: RUBICON (Aurora Resonant Book Two)#9: REQUIEM (Aurora Resonant Book Three)#10: SHORT STORIES OF AURORA RHAPSODY (can be read at any time)~ ASTERION NOIR TRILOGY ~ (a new entry point for the series - can be read before Aurora Rhapsody)#11: EXIN EX MACHINA (Asterion Noir Book 1)#12: OF A DARKER VOID (Asterion Noir Book 2)#13: THE STARS LIKE GODS (Asterion Noir Book 3)~ RIVEN WORLDS ~ (should be read after Aurora Rhapsody and Asterion Noir)#14: CONTINUUM (Riven Worlds Book One)#15: INVERSION (Riven Worlds Book Two)#16: ECHO RIFT (Riven Worlds Book Three)#17: ALL OUR TOMORROWS (Riven Worlds Book Four)#18: CHAOTICA (Riven Worlds Book Five)#19: DUALITY (Riven Worlds Book Six)~ COSMIC SHORES ~ (a new entry point for the series - each book can be read at any time and without reading any of the other books)#20: MEDUSA FALLING (A Cosmic Shores Novel)#21: THE THIEF (A Cosmic Shores Novel)
