Vertigo: Aurora Rising Book Two (Amaranthe)

Where do you run when there is no escape? Where do you turn when the enemy within is as dangerous as the enemy unknown?
The year is 2322 and humanity is under attack. An engineered war between rival superpowers escalates even as the shadowy Metigen armada begins attacking colonies on the frontiers of settled space.

Individuals from across the galaxy fight for their own survival and to protect those they hold dear, while a group of unlikely allies race to expose a secret cabal. As the aliens draw ever closer, leaving utter destruction and death in their wake, the strongest defenders of Earth and Seneca fall to one another in a war of lies and misdirection.

Alex Solovy and Caleb Marano stand accused of terrorism and murder. In a desperate gambit to clear their names and find a way to defeat the invaders, they breach the dimensional portal at the heart of the Metis Nebula. In a strange, mystical realm where nothing is what it seems, they will uncover secrets about humanity’s past and future—and one revelation which will change everything.

Fans of The Expanse, Peter F. Hamilton and Adrian Tchaikovsky will love this epic science fiction tale of galaxy-spanning adventure, political conspiracy, alien invasion, interstellar war, space exploration, intrigue and romance, all anchored by an incredible cast of memorable and compelling characters who fight, fail, persevere and refuse to fade away.
