  JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
  Book 3 of 6 The Nebula's Trial 
  This story is summarized as follows: 
  In The Nebula's Trial, Captain Minerva Voss leads her crew into the Horsehead Nebula, following clues from the centaur Chiron to uncover an ancient secret. They discover a cosmic junction linking Jupiter to the nebula, where the Abyssal—Europa's deep-sea civilization—reveal the truth: Jupiter's storms contain Arion, a centaur-like energy being guarding Nyx, a sentient black hole imprisoned in Jupiter's core. When the Syndicate attacks with a quantum harpoon to enslave Arion, Minerva psychically bonds with the guardian, witnessing its memories—including Earth's role in Nyx's imprisonment. Arion sacrifices itself to destroy the harpoon, transferring its knowledge to Minerva before dying. The Syndicate's cryptic message, "Project Ixion is ready," hints at their plan to free Nyx. As Jupiter's storms intensify, Minerva realizes the true scale of the threat—and her destiny as a guardian of cosmic balance. 
  This is the third of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this third instalment, and it's only $3. 
  I have worked very hard and meticulously to provide you with an enjoyable experience, the initial opening credit music which does run to approximately 2 1/2 minutes and prepares you for the start, synthesizer, bass and cymbals in a soul/funk form. The closing music ends the tale on a darker tone and at about 2 minutes and the same instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added. 
  The story runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice. 
  I do hope you enjoy this audiobook and let me know what you think, more to come!

  Slave of Eternity

  Slave of Eternity by Roger D. Aycock - An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... these were the familiar laws of man—Far more fiendish was Heric's punishment—eternal life for the death he'd taken! 
  "You have no choice," the patrolman said. "The Council sends for you." 
  He moved across the veranda of Heric's cottage, bulking dark against the sky-glow of Nyark the first city. On the slope of lawn below stood his copter, its beetle-black shell glistening faintly in the starshine. 
  Heric stood rigid with alarm in his doorway, still holding the book he had been reading. The night-wind ruffling his hair and the homely sounds from the kitchen where Marta prepared their evening meal made his danger doubly fantastic. 
  "They've found out somehow about my dreams," Heric said. "They'll put me through the adjuster and I'll come out of it—someone else. I won't go!" 
  He was a mild man, overseer of the cereal grain fields outside Nyark the first city, holding the confidence of his superiors and the respect of his workers. He and Marta had been happy in the quiet eddy of their isolation, until the dreams came. 
  The patrolman took a gleaming silver shock-cone from his belt. "I am sorry, Arnol Heric. You must come with me." 
  Stark panic made Heric drop his book and strike out wildly, smashing a fist into the officer's face. The patrolman staggered back, teetered for balance on the veranda's edge and fell heavily. The sound of his head striking the stone walkway below was as definite as the thud of a dropped melon. 
  Heric went down the steps and knelt to feel the man's limp wrist. There was no pulse. He put an ear to the slack lips, and there was no breath. Shock numbed him and drove his thoughts into strange, tortured channels. 
  "I've killed him," he said.
