Synopsis

The Ardaks temporarily defeated, the Red Dust cured, a wary peace exists on Aurora for the first time since the Ardak invasion. The cyborgs and elves of Aurora are now working together to build their resources before the Ardaks’ return… But for one cyborg, the battle isn’t over. As the first cyborg ever created, the Ardak's experiments have left Simban with a broken chip and without hope. Barely able to control his body or his speech, he sets off into the wilderness to avoid the first post-invasion winter solstice celebration. But rather than a peaceful journey to live out his final days alone, his adventure will lead him to new places and an unexpected meeting with an old friend. Irielle fled to the mountains to avoid the Ardaks. Plagued by flashbacks of when she was captured as their prisoner and a horrible pain in her chest that's growing worse, the only thing she has left to do is die alone in the icy snow. But when a certain cyborg finds her, she suddenly has reason to hope. Pursued by rogue Ardaks, their journey back to safety is fraught with danger as well as new discoveries that might turn the tide in the final battle. *** The Ardak Chronicles is a page-turning science fiction fantasy series filled with action, adventure, and a splash of romance. Join an unlikely team of cyborgs and elves as they wage an intergalactic battle against the tigerlike Ardaks trying to take over the universe one planet at a time. *** What reviewers are saying: ★★★★★ “ Best story ever.
