About this ebook

Escape into a world of mythical creatures, legendary civilizations, dangerous sword fights, and epic space battles… where science fiction meets fantasy.

Whispers of foul deeds and terrifying acts plague the galaxy as death spills across unknown battlefields and unrest spreads throughout empires. Riders, impressed with the gargantuan creatures called Solar Sailors, speak of horrific attacks upon peaceful citizens as they travel the dark energy currents of the galaxy.

At the center of this onslaught, a sinister and secretive society rises, seeking to control the galaxy.

The Igigi, mysterious ancient beings, Keepers of the Galactic Gates, and Trade Lane towers, attacked by a formidable enemy without warning. Ghost walkers, mystic warriors of the Temple sent to investigate, discover an elusive and savage enemy pitting empire against empire spreading terror and chaos.

Into this maelstrom, Aidan, a Murian prince, awakens from a fiery crash. His people, legends fading into the mist of time. A young Queen Jynnalt, and a haughty Prince, Ryakin, thrown together by Imperial decree. Two Malkuth royal brothers, Kendo and Ikath, as children, kidnapped and forced to live off the streets till rescued, now live with those scars. One wants to put the event behind him, the other obsessed with discovering who did this to them. While the son of a royal concubine of the Anunnaki Empire, Prince Ea brilliant, feckless and in line for the Anunnaki Throne desperate to win his father's approval while attempting to stay out of the political limelight, one foot in the city of the concubines the other in the complicated intrigue of the royal house of the Anunnaki Empire.
All fight for the very survival of their empires and the galaxy, compelled to sacrifice for love, house, and empire as it slides into the anarchy of civil war.

Forced to battle against enemies not seen since the time of the formidable and legendary Phoenix Queens. How much are they willing to sacrifice to save everything they love?

As the Phoenix Rises and the galaxy burns, some will rise to the challenge. Others fall.

Author

C.S. Wade

Raised as an Air Force military brat, I later married a military service member in the Army. I have traveled the world and the USA. As a young person I worked a winter at Mt. Hood ski lodge. Later a stable hand for two prestigious stables in Oregon, that led to the desire to own land and have a ranch. I worked in the field for a Petroleum geologist company in Ventura, California. Fished for salmon in Alaska on the Kenai peninsula. Worked for Pinkerton as an armed and unarmed security officer. Worked security while in Germany for the University of Maryland. Also worked on base in Mannheim Germany as a telephone operator. Back stateside I earned my Criminal Justice degree while working full time once more for Pinkerton, which later became Securitas. Then to the streets as a police officer. I now own land in Colorado. I grew up a Star Trek, and later a Star Wars fan, as an older adult a fan of Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. Spent long nights listening to Art Bell on coast to coast and later George Noory. Love the unique aspects of the History channel. I have two beautiful girls now grown with children of their own, and seven intelligent, beautiful and inquisitive grandchildren. I live on the Eastern plains of Colorado with the company of my pup, Sadie. This story was a journey for me. I always wrote, especially in times of stress, though not professionally. Science fiction an easy love for me. But then I read one man’s life’s work regarding academia and Ancient Gods, which led my imagination to flow, thinking. What if this could be real? What if tales of rumored ancient civilizations and Gods held truth? How did it all fit together? It awoke something exciting; a story to somehow make the Ancient Gods become real, their history deeply intertwined with our history. I hope to take you on a similar journey.
