Rise of Humanity - The Kantaki Saga, Book 1

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.

The barriers that held them... ... have begun to crumble. If they escape, the galaxy will never be the same. In the battle for the future of the galaxy, the remote provincial world of Kerberos is caught between the fronts. No one suspects that deep beneath the surface of Kerberos sleeps a power from the past which, if unleashed, could bring unimaginable destruction to the galaxy. What role does the mysterious synthetic being, the "Metamorph", which escaped from a laboratory on Kerberos, play in this? When the elderly monk Eklund takes on a boy with the power to heal himself as his novice, events come thick and fast. A murder takes place in the monks' remote contemplative community and security forces all over the planet are feverishly searching for the escaped metamorph. To make matters worse, Valdorian is also on his way to Kerberos. He has no idea what powers he is about to unleash. Is another war imminent? Are the Temporals going to escape? You will love this audiobook 2 in the Kantaki Saga, because Andreas Brandhorst has blurred the lines between past, present, and future in the most intriguing way.

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.
