Empire's Rise

By I.G. Hulme

Ryann Wade has looked upon the face of God and lived...

Ryann shouldn't have survived. He awakens aboard the Defiance-alive, but not unchanged. His link to the mysterious entity that governs the Lumina should have killed him-but it didn't. It changed him in ways that are making him something more than human.

As the Ghost-Runners navigate the chaos of a collapsing galaxy, they find themselves caught in a deadly crossfire: on one side, the seemingly unstoppable Luminal invasion; on the other, the Holy Empire's fleet of ancient dreadnoughts, relics of an age-long war.

But a whisper spreads through the ship: a betrayal is brewing from within. If Ryann can't figure it out in time, it won't be the enemy that destroys them-it'll be themselves.

The war for the future is coming...

Perfect for fans of Star Wars, Dune, and The Expanse, this is epic space opera at its most thrilling.
