The Galactic Federation of Light...

Christopher Allen

THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT
Book 3 of 6 The Shattered Prophecy
This is the third book in the series and the plot is as follows:
Five years after defeating the Void King, the fragile Galactic Federation of Light discovers an ancient prophecy in the ruins of Kareth-Vor—the "Shattering," a dimensional collapse unleashing unspeakable horrors. The key lies in the Heart of the First Ones, an artifact buried on the ice planet Morvain-7.
The Zorathians want to weaponize it, the Elurians to destroy it, and the fanatical Cult of the Void seeks to use it to resurrect their dark god. A Federation task force races to secure the Heart, but the Cult ambushes them in the tomb. The Veiled Prophet, their leader, activates the artifact—only to reveal a terrifying truth:
The Heart is a beacon for the First Ones, the galaxy’s ancient creators, who observe from beyond the rift. Their judgment looms—not as allies, but as cold arbiters of civilization’s fate.
The Federation survives the battle, but now faces an existential question: Can they prove their worth to the gods?
This is the third in a series of six audiobooks, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, 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 minutes sets the scene, so to speak, a fast paced modern beat that gets you ready for the out of this world story. The closing music ends the tale on a dark foreboding beat anticipating the next instalment.
The story itself runs to about 15 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.
