Sinossi

In the near future, in the seaside city of Agartha, the life of the young Icarus oscillates between two vices: virtual reality and a hallucinogenic drug called nirvana. In search of medical treatment he ends up becoming a volunteer for an experiment of an advanced medication made with nanotechnology which later causes an extraordinary adverse reaction: the projection of his consciousness, which allows him to travel to several places of the world and the universe. From there on, Icarus begins a journey of self-knowledge, facing situations that will bring unimaginable consequences. Would everything be just in Icarus´s mind?

    You can't militarize space. This one rule has led to decades of peaceful development of space programs worldwide. However, increasing resource scarcity and a changing climate on Earth's surface is causing some interested parties to militarize, namely India, the North American Union, and the Sinese Federation. 
     
      
    The discovery of a strange artifact by Dr. Alayna Wong precipitates a crisis. What appears to be a hitherto undiscovered comet is soon revealed to be an alien structure on a cometary trajectory toward the sun. Now there is a race between countries to see who can study and control the artifact dubbed the "Solar Express" before it perhaps destroys itself. 
     
      
    Leading the way for the North American Union is Alayna's friend Captain Christopher Tavoian, one of the first shuttle pilots to be trained for combat in space. But, as the alien craft gets closer to its destination, it begins to alter the surface of the sun in strange new ways, ways that could lead Alayna to revolutionary discoveries—provided that Chris can prevent war from breaking out as he navigates among the escalating tensions between nations.

    As a three thousand-year-old threat reemerges, only one man has the power to awaken the world’s greatest protectors and restore order to the realm. He just doesn’t know it yet. When Jerrol Haven, a captain in the King’s Rangers, discovers treason at the highest level, he knows immediately that the knowledge puts his life at risk. And indeed, though he expected the ailing King to shield him, the ambitious Crown Prince sentences Jerrol to death. 
    What hold does the Prince have over his weakened father, and who or what is he protecting? 
    Now, with signs that her veil is weakening and the Ascendants are creeping back into power, she has returned and is in dire need of Jerrol’s help. For though he doesn’t know it, Jerrol possesses a rare gift: By chance, he touches a revered Sentinal tree and awakens Birlerion, one of the Lady’s personal guard who have been sleeping in the strange, tall trees since they were last called to battle. Aided by Birlerion, Jerrol flees and begins his journey to help Lady Leyandrii save Remargaren once more. 
    But time is running out: As it was with the King, the old guard Lords are everywhere being usurped, attacked, and assassinated. Jerrol must unravel the mystery of the Ascendants’ return, stop the sinister force that is dividing good families through bloodshed and betrayal, and rescue the King—and his troubles are only just beginning. 
    Ideal for lovers of The Witcher, Tad William's Shadowmarch or the Belgarion series.
