About this listen

A mighty empire…a lowly slave…a galaxy to save. Will a hero rise?

Nova chronicles the early years of the Aurora Galaxy after the great war between two immortal races known as the Malakians and the Torians. The despot, Zari Treville, is leading the Torians on a campaign to rule the galaxy, but Supreme Chancellor Ell Yon, leader of the Malakians, stands in his way. Both races wield technology far beyond anything the human race has ever seen.

Young Daeson Starlore is born of royal blood on the planet of Jypton where the Rayleans (the Drudge class) serve the ruling classes of Jyptonians (the Colloquial and the Elite classes). As a young man, Daeson is living his dream piloting his Starcraft at the academy and is on track to graduate at the top of his class.

A chance encounter with a lowly Starcraft mechanic changes everything and the life and world Daeson once thought he knew changes forever. Desperate for the truth, Daeson embarks on a galactic journey that will either kill him or thrust him into a life of terrifying adventure.

Time is short; will he survive, or will he rise?

I finished Cloak of Light series for 2nd time and stumped what to try next so went for this as narrator Orenstein is brilliant. Dubious as could not juggle Bible with science fiction in my head. But, it was quite gripping and started to see the parallel to Exodus and Moses. Very well written and narrated.

Surprised how good it was

Loved the adventure and descriptions drew us in. Skilled writer, knows about military combat and relationships! Interplay between inner and external worlds was just right. A ten year old as well as his fifty year old mum both were mesmerised by it, enjoying it immensely. Left us in suspense and want to order the next books. Performance needed balance between the male & female voices. The female voices seemed louder and like an add-on but this did not detract from the story. Recommend highly!

Excellent story - full of adventure and romance, we adults and children alike loved it!
