Ancient Threat - The Kantaki Saga, Book 2

Brillante Space Opera um einen großen Krieg der Menschheit gegen eine außerirdische Spezies Seit Jahrhunderten muss sich die Menschheit gegen die fremdartigen Honta verteidigen, ohne zu wissen, warum sie immer wieder angreifen. Im Jahr 3233 überfällt der Feind Harkonia, einen über 8000 Lichtjahre von der Erde entfernten Kolonialplaneten. Zu den wenigen Überlebenden zählt der siebenjährige Cameron, der durch den Angriff seine Mutter verliert. Adoptiert von einem Kommandanten der Vereinten Streitkräfte, tritt er eine Laufbahn beim Militär an. Entschlossen, sich an den Honta zu rächen, sammelt er im Kampf immer mehr Erkenntnisse über den verhassten Feind. Doch die Honta scheinen den Menschen stets einen Schritt voraus zu sein. Verfügen sie über eine Technologie, die die Menschheit nicht versteht? Um die Antwort zu ergründen, muss Cameron eine ungewöhnliche Mission antreten: eine Reise ans Ende der Zeit.

In the fifth millennium, Humanity has made it... ... they have settled the galaxy! This feat was only possible through the help of the Kantaki, insectoid aliens who possess the technology of faster-than-light space travel. Two superpowers, the Consortium and the Alliance, rule over the vast human empire. In the year 421 of the new era, the leader of the Consortium, Rungard Valdorian, wants only one thing: to become immortal, as the biological treatments that prolong his life no longer have an effect. Though he's wealthy beyond imagination, it isn't enough to buy more time. The only person who can help him venture into realms outside linear time is Diamond, his former lover, as she possesses the rare gift to pilot Kantaki spaceships. Will he be able to track down the pilot he once loved? Can the Alliance use Valdorians quest to defeat the Consortium? A power play is coming. War is looming. And an ancient threat is waiting to rise again, waiting for the two powers to clash to make its move. You'll love this epic space opera because Andreas Brandhorst weaves together complex story lines in a way that will keep you turning the pages.

When the Temporals won the first time war... ...they unleashed multiple levels of reality. Will they destroy all life? Valdorian, the former Prime of the Consortium, must face the awful truth. He has been used. As a slave of the criminal Temporals he has released a shard of the destructive Omnivore. The Temporals, trapped in a distant dimension - the Zero - after the first Time War, can finally escape from their prison. But there is something they don't know. Valdorian still has one move. Will he be able to escape? A second time war breaks out, which has an even more devastating effect than the legendary first confrontation with the Temporals when they created an infinite number of alternative timelines. All of these dimensions are now threatened with final extinction. Together with many other species, the Kantaki confront the enemy. Meanwhile, the realities continue to disintegrate faster and faster. The brave defenders have long been on the losing side - or so it seems. Only preventing the Temporals from exerting influence at the original point of manipulation could prevent the impending defeat. And once again the Kantaki pilot Diamond and Valdorian find themselves at the center of the action. You will love this audiobook 3 in the Kantaki Saga, because Andreas Brandhorst unravels a story that looks at what existence and truth mean in a way that is both haunting and beautiful.
