Over 1,400 Pages of Sci-Fi Adventure! **AMARANTHE I: RISE includes the 1st trilogy in the Amaranthe universe (Starshine, Vertigo, Transcendence) + 2 short stories + bonus content**

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?
Amaranthe I: Rise 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.

Fans of The Expanse, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Peter F. Hamilton will love this epic science fiction tale of adventure, political conspiracy, alien invasion, interstellar war, space exploration and intrigue, all anchored by an incredible cast of memorable and compelling characters who fight, fail, persevere and refuse to fade away.

** AMARANTHE I: RISE WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED UNDER THE TITLE "AURORA RISING: THE COMPLETE COLLECTION" **

    A space adventure in the best traditions of science fiction. Well written, well executed, and a joy to read. Since first reading Heinlein’s “Have Space Suit, Will Travel” fifty years ago, I’ve been searching for those stories that have that elusive perfect blend of believable science, engaging plot, compelling characters, and a dash of fun. This is one of them.
