Kantaki Saga

In the fifth millennium, Humanity has made it... ... they have settled the galaxy! This feat was only possible through the help of the Kantaki, insectoid aliens who possess the technology of faster-than-light space travel. Two superpowers, the Consortium and the Alliance, rule over the vast human empire. In the year 421 of the new era, the leader of the Consortium, Rungard Valdorian, wants only one thing: to become immortal, as the biological treatments that prolong his life no longer have an effect. Though he's wealthy beyond imagination, it isn't enough to buy more time. The only person who can help him venture into realms outside linear time is Diamond, his former lover, as she possesses the rare gift to pilot Kantaki spaceships. Will he be able to track down the pilot he once loved? Can the Alliance use Valdorians quest to defeat the Consortium? A power play is coming. War is looming. And an ancient threat is waiting to rise again, waiting for the two powers to clash to make its move. You'll love this epic space opera because Andreas Brandhorst weaves together complex story lines in a way that will keep you turning the pages.

The barriers that held them... ... have begun to crumble. If they escape, the galaxy will never be the same. In the battle for the future of the galaxy, the remote provincial world of Kerberos is caught between the fronts. No one suspects that deep beneath the surface of Kerberos sleeps a power from the past which, if unleashed, could bring unimaginable destruction to the galaxy. What role does the mysterious synthetic being, the "Metamorph", which escaped from a laboratory on Kerberos, play in this? When the elderly monk Eklund takes on a boy with the power to heal himself as his novice, events come thick and fast. A murder takes place in the monks' remote contemplative community and security forces all over the planet are feverishly searching for the escaped metamorph. To make matters worse, Valdorian is also on his way to Kerberos. He has no idea what powers he is about to unleash. Is another war imminent? Are the Temporals going to escape? You will love this audiobook 2 in the Kantaki Saga, because Andreas Brandhorst has blurred the lines between past, present, and future in the most intriguing way.

When the Temporals won the first-time war... ...they unleashed multiple levels of reality. Will they destroy all life? Valdorian, the former Prime of the Consortium, must face the awful truth. He has been used. As a slave of the criminal Temporals he has released a shard of the destructive Omnivore. The Temporals, trapped in a distant dimension-the Zero-after the first Time War, can finally escape from their prison. But there is something they don't know. Valdorian still has one move. Will he be able to escape? A second time war breaks out, which has an even more devastating effect than the legendary first confrontation with the Temporals when they created an infinite number of alternative timelines. All of these dimensions are now threatened with final extinction. Together with many other species, the Kantaki confronts the enemy. Meanwhile, the realities continue to disintegrate faster and faster. The brave defenders have long been on the losing side-or so it seems. Only preventing the Temporals from exerting influence at the original point of manipulation could prevent the impending defeat. And once again the Kantaki pilot Diamond and Valdorian find themselves at the center of the action. You will love this book in the “Kantaki Saga,” because Andreas Brandhorst unravels a story that looks at what existence and truth mean in a way that is both haunting and beautiful.
