By Emmanuel M. Arriaga

Book Overview

"A stirring story of survival and revenge with a little more steam than SF readers might expect." - Kirkus Reviews
"World-building across time and space is a particular skill of the author, which helps bring the whole series into focus and completes an epic and explosive plot arc." - Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★1/2

When vengeance becomes your only purpose, how far will you go?

Grief-stricken and betrayed, Neven Kenk embarks on a dangerous mission to avenge his wife, whose life was stolen in a brutal act of violence. Paired with Tashanira, a fierce Uri warrior, and Ellipse, a sentient AI, they embark on a daring mission to hunt down the killer, Entradis. But when their mission ends in catastrophe, they are forced to abandon the hunt and are removed from active duty in the Founder's Elites.

Their quest for redemption takes them to the farthest reaches of the Twin Galaxies, where they uncover fragments of a forgotten history and the veiled truths of their existence. But their journey leads to a revelation none of them are prepared for. The trio confronts the legendary First Elite and faces the harrowing cost of service to the immortal Founders of the Huzien Empire.

Blending rich world-building, emotional depth, and epic adventure, First Elite explores the strength it takes to rebuild after loss and the unyielding price of loyalty in a galaxy teeming with intrigue and high-stakes politics.
