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.
Vertigo Aurora Rising Book Two Aurora Rhapsody 2 eBook G S Jennsen
This book and its predecessor are two of the very best space opera novels I have ever read. I hardly know where to begin. There is a very large cast of characters throughout a wide variety of locations, but it seemed easy to keep them all straight because the story is very compelling. These characters are portrayed in greater or lesser detail, but always fully three-dimensional, because they are depicted foremost from the inside. I want to emphasize how much I enjoyed the character development everywhere in this book. The plot and many, many subplots are each absolutely fascinating. The occasional paragraphs of hard tech or military description are concise and not intrusive. The sex scenes are very well written. There is a good balance of action to introspection. Both books are nice and long. I don't generally like to compare one book with another, but I will say this: I think that this author has certain very great gifts in common with Lois McMasters Bujold. Not a dull moment anywhere. I am impatiently awaiting the next book; I suppose I should warn you of the extreme cliffhanger ending. All in all, enormously entertaining and well worth buying.Product details

Vertigo Aurora Rising Book Two Aurora Rhapsody 2 eBook G S Jennsen Reviews
This book was awesome! I got mad every time I had to put it down.
OK...what I loved-Alex and Caleb's ingenuity, passion and daring. I dare say that without them humanity would be up a creek. I loved Richard and Will's story, loved how things progressed when certain truths came out. Loved the writing, dialogue, description and again, Jennsen's grasp of quantum computing, physics and the potential for mankind, future AI and the realities of the human condition.
What I liked-Kennedy finally gets a better role to play, as it where. We get to see a woman who, while wealthy and entitled, can survive insurmountable odds and not fall apart like so many female characters are written to do.
What I didn't like-not sure...I'll have to get back to you on that one.
As soon as I publish this review, I'm heading over to read Transcendence, because the fun doesn't stop here.
i like this series but one aspect knocked a 'star' off, that being the portions that were just too much in terms of sexual content. i want science fiction i do NOT want pages upon pages of detailed sex/coupling between characters. this is not supposed to be some lame romance novel with an pic of some shirtless guy on the cover. i have never in all the hundreds of science fiction works read over my lifetime encountered a book that got off on the sexual relations to such a degree. it really hurts the book imho when you skip a dozen pages just so you don't have to read about where so and so's hand was, the beads of sweat,..just far too much! there is plenty of porn online for those who want it but NOT in science fiction please. that being said the author does a good job fleshing out the characters. also does well taking current social norms, values and taking them to where we would hope to be in a few hundred years. a vision of humanities future, society that shares much in common with for example the take of 'star trek.' so don't get me wrong it is a good read just gets off track at times trying to be something it isn't. i still recommend this series though.
Aurora Rising is one of those rare books that grabs you and won't let you go. One part Firefly, one part Mass Effect, two parts fascinating originality - it is a carefully crafted world with backstory and culture. The characters are real people, saints and sinners that you can identify with. I am a sucker for stories with powerful women and this story has them in spades. But these powerful women are real and flawed and even more the heroic for it. There is action and adventure, sci-fi and romance; a little something for everyone.
Definitely more than worth the read and I can't wait for the next one to come out!
Book Two of this remarkable series goes way past answering questions and furthering action! Usually the scenario of "humanity meets massively evolved beings of light" paints them as helpful, empathetic and kind; reaching out to flawed humanity to help us on the path to enlightenment. Jennsen turns that on its head, giving us beings of light who are bent on eradicating mankind. Enter two brilliant characters who immediately try to kill each other - a painfully independent, and emotionally guarded space explorer/contractor who is the daughter of an Alliance Admiral (and like her mother is driven by grief, anger and unbendable stubborn will), and an equally independent Federation spy who is a walking weapon, filled with anger, grief and impeccable honor, with a wide streak of compassion. Covered in book one, they discover a portal into another Universe (in book two, we discover the exact number of Universes available through the portals) and an armada of intelligent, massive machine ships directly out of our worst nightmares, bent on annihilating a humanity that has spread to hundreds of worlds.
Other authors might lose track of the number of characters, but Jennsen thrives on giving the reader a realistic set of people on all sides of the conflict. The plot is refreshingly complex, and Jennsen pays the reader the complement of assuming that s/he can follow it, appreciate the physics and the remarkable tech, and still want characters with real, and 100% believable motives and emotions. The dialogue is superb, the psychology is spot on and the philosophy is intriguing! The twists actually contribute meaningfully to the plot, which is a joy ride of hope and dread, love and hate and a philosophical exploration of what makes humans worth saving. This volume gave far more answers than expected, and extended the action in a breathtaking adventure, following the multiple main characters who are surviving despite multiple villains' and aliens' best efforts to kill them. Though not quite a sweeping and religiously bent as DUNE, Jennsen deserves to be classed with Frank Herbert through brilliant writing, fascinating characters and a story that exposes the best and worst of what it means to be human.
Unlike virtually all other "end of the Universe" space operas, the depth of writing, bleeding edge tech and compelling characters make this impossible to put down. Unashamed brilliance is honored, rather than dismissed, which is refreshing and encouraging in an era where half the people base their voting on who they would rather have a beer with than actually understand that genius is needed to solve our problems; the glorification of stupidity has spiraled out of control. Jennsen is not only aware of that, she uses that knowledge to spin out a marvelously complex tale of high level incompetence, intrigue, conspiracy and brilliant twists that mocks the very fabric of bureaucracy, short-sighted power hunger and vengefully incompetent military martinets vs. military, political, and creative tech geniuses, hackers, assorted AIs and designers. Her three dimensional protagonists are full of human foibles, reluctantly assuming the burden of saving humanity, but filled with fiery passion, brilliance, energy, daring and a contempt for following the rules. Her antagonists are also surprisingly three dimensional, and sometimes the lines blur in a blindingly realistic fashion. I can't wait for the final book in this series, and would give it 10 stars if I could. Everyone science fiction lover, who wants hard science in the fiction, will LOVE this series!
