Astra Inferna: Upward Bound Gaia Genesis
Author: Mr Reese
Earth had done it, It had declared independence and won its first Victories. But the costs in manpower and ships were high. Even more so now that Burrow, the Homeplanet of their biggest Ally, is burning. Can Humanity carry on the War while trying to supply billions of Shraphen Refugees? And what old mysteries lie hidden in the Shraphen home system? This is Book 2 Of the Upward Bound Saga. New Readers should start with Book One What to Expect: Have you ever read an HFY sci-fi novel and wondered, “How did humanity get this strong?” Wonder no more. Upward Bound is a coming-of-age story for an entire species. Planned as a multi-book series, it tells the story of humanity and its allies freeing themselves from oppression and becoming powers in their own right. It follows the POV of influential officers as well as scientists simply doing science. Great emphasis is placed on how the technology could realistically work, based on modern scientific understanding. Think Stargate, but much farther into the future. If you enjoy grounded technology, alien politics, and humanity clawing its way toward greatness, this might be your next read.
