Jupiter Rising - The Celestial...

Christopher Allen

JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
Book 4 of 6 The Rings of Saturn 
This story is summarized as follows: 
Captain Minerva Voss and her crew aboard the Odysseus uncover a cosmic mystery hidden in Saturn’s rings. What begins as a haunting harmony turns out to be a Sagittari language—a warning. The team discovers an ancient archway, a gateway to a quantum echo revealing the rings as a stabilizing circuit keeping the entity Nyx imprisoned within Jupiter. But the Syndicate, led by Darius Kane, seeks to disrupt this balance and unleash Nyx’s power. A rogue Syndicate scientist, Jace Ryker, joins Minerva to stop Kane’s catastrophic plan, revealing a project aiming to merge humanity with void energy. As planetary alignment nears, Minerva leads a desperate mission to retune the rings and reinforce the prison. Jace sacrifices himself to complete the sequence, stabilizing Jupiter—for now. But a final vision warns: Nyx stirs, and the next Convergence looms ever closer.  
This is the fourth of six audiobooks in the series and I do hope you enjoy this fourth instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price. 
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 musical instruments, genre and industrial/fearful mood but with more caution added.  
The story itself 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, there are a lot more to come!

Wreck Off Triton

Alfred Coppel

Wreck Off Triton by Alfred Coppel - His plans were thorough. Every risk had been closely considered. Now Ron Carnavon, ruthless convict, was ready to loot the wrecked spaceship of its sapphire treasure, and thrust his warped power around the entire, antagonistic EMV triangle.
Ron Carnavon had been the skipper of the late Thunderbird, and it was common knowledge in every port of the EMV triangle that he had scuttled her. There was a price on his head, and the High Space Guard was combing the spacelanes for him—and for the Thunderbird. For the Thunderbird was a treasure ship.
But Carnavon was a cautious man and no fool, for all that he'd committed barratry. He left the Thunderbird in a Trojan orbit a million miles off Triton, ruptured and spilling corpses into space. He took a spaceboat and jetted sunward to the Holcomb Foundation Outpost on Oberon. Then he stowed away on the mail ship to Canalopolis, still carrying the chart that showed the Thunderbird's position. In the Canal City, Carnavon evaded the lax Guard cordons and found himself a renegade Martian hypnosurgeon to change his face and fingerprints.
From then on it was easy. Across Syrtis Major by sand-ski to Marsport posing as a prospector. And from Marsport down the Grand Canal to the spaceman's boneyard at Yakki. It was there that he met and hired Pop Wills and the Carefree.
Ron Carnavon acted with characteristic caution when he chose Pop and the Carefree to do the ghoul work on the ship he had murdered. Pop's ship was a rusty bucket, but well enough fixed to reach Triton where the Thunderbird's corpse orbited, her vault heavy with Plutonian sapphires. And Pop needed work badly. He was almost too broke to outfit his ship for the flight.

It's been a tough year for Sasha—he's been bullied at his middle school and his anxiety, which he calls the Gray, is growing. Sasha's dad tells him to "toughen up"—and he does, but with unfortunate, hurtful results. His parents and therapist agree that a summer in the country with his aunt might be the best medicine, but it's the last place he wants to be. He'll be away from his best friend, video games, and stuck in the house that reminds him of his beloved uncle who died two years earlier. 
 
 
 
His aunt is supportive, and there are lots of places to explore, and even some potential new friends. When Sasha is introduced at a local ranch to a horse coincidentally—incredibly—nicknamed the Gray, he feels he's found a kindred spirit. 
 
 
 
But his own Gray is ever-present. When one of his new friends disappears, Sasha discovers that the country is wilder and more mysterious than he imagined. He tries to muster enough courage to help in the search . . . but will the Gray hold him back?
