Описание: Twelve years after his mother's disappearance, Zahn makes his annual hike up to the island peak to sleep above the clouds -- only to be awoken by an alien object thundering down from the sky, changing the course of his life forever. At last, Zahn has the chance to learn the fate of his mother, but the opportunity comes with a price: leave his world in a self-aware starship, with no guarantee of return. Now on the verge of twenty, he leaves his planet far behind, bound for the galactic core where he encounters the vicious Vakragha, an ancient species that craves the largest prey: entire stars. Bent on tearing at the fabric of spacetime itself, the Vakragha scream toward Zahn's home. Only the Tulari, a stone that can heal these fissures, offers any hope to Zahn and his new friends. But saving his world from total enslavement isn't all he has to worry about. Just when Zahn lands on a moon the Vakragha stole, he makes a breakthrough, finally learning his mother's true fate. Now he is faced with a decision that could either save his world or doom it forever. THE TRUTH BEYOND THE SKY is the 1st book in the EPIC OF ARAVINDA -- a Mythic Sci-Fi adventure series. (Also available as an audiobook.) What Top Reviewers Say... "This is a great story...Definitely an amazing adventure for all...The descriptive scenes captivate the imagination and one truly feels a part of the story." --AudiobookReviewer.com "It was tough to look away. What's really interesting about this book is how multi-layered it is... Zahn's story manages to pull from the world around us, while also incorporating elements of mythology and hero epics. This is a coming of age story of the highest caliber." --Jessica Nottingham (Creator of HopelessBibliophile.com) "A swift & compelling read. It's fun and I recommend it if you enjoy science fiction epics." --Michael Coorlim (Galvanic Century series author) "I was immediately drawn in by the vivid descriptions at the beginning of the story. The author has a knack for fully immersing a reader into the hero's plight, and I felt like I was hurtling through corridors of light alongside Zahn." --Erica Lane (Creator of FantasyBookLane.com) "Quite difficult to put down; I found myself up until 2 AM a couple of nights." --Retired Techie, Reviewer "The bad guys were nasty and believable, Zahn 'manned up' and he could be me and I could be him, and the story moved. The ending? Yep, its in for a second book." --J. Thomas Beaton, Author of Duality Inc. |
