Over 45 Hours of Epic Sci-Fi Adventure! **Includes the entire 1st trilogy in the Amaranthe series (Starshine, Vertigo, Transcendence)**

A rift in space that shouldn’t exist. A secret that can unite humanity, or ignite its destruction.

Alex Solovy is a lone wolf starship pilot with a talent for uncovering the hidden secrets of uncharted space. When she follows a hunch into a forbidden nebula and encounters a mysterious rift tearing the fabric of space itself, Alex stumbles onto a conspiracy powerful enough to rewrite humanity’s place in the universe—or erase it entirely.

Across the galaxy, Caleb Marano, a covert operative for the fiercely independent Senecan Federation, is chasing dangerous secrets of his own. When their paths explosively collide, Alex and Caleb must forge an uneasy alliance. Now they’re the only thing standing between rival superpowers poised to shatter a fragile peace and ignite all-out war.

As shadowy conspiracies unravel and ruthless enemies close in, they must outmaneuver political betrayals, mysterious alien machinations, and their own deep-seated distrust in a desperate gambit to save civilization from destruction. The fate of humanity hangs by a thread—and no matter what happens, the galaxy will never be the same.

AMARANTHE I: RISE is an epic space opera trilogy packed with heart-pounding adventure, unforgettable characters, and high-stakes intrigue. For fans of The Expanse, Mass Effect, Peter F. Hamilton, and Iain Banks, this electrifying journey through cosmic mysteries, galactic warfare, and the great unknown between the stars will keep you turning pages late into the night.

I'm a handful of chapters in, and I already know this will get pumped into my DNF list. - I've found there to be a lot of made up Techno-waffle that seems to be entirely irrelevant to anything meaningful.

my second gripe is that the narrators inconsistent cadence and inflection makes the whole thing sound like it's being read by a B-grade AI reader.

ultimately underwhelming, and fails to grab you in the early portion, and leaves you wondering at what point its going to get good enough to make it worth while. disappointing purchase.
