    THE GALACTIC FEDERATION OF LIGHT 
    Book 2 of 6  The rise of the federation 
    This is the second book in the series and the plot is as follows: 
    The Galactic Federation of Light, a symbol of unity, fractures over the discovery of the Ecliptium Veil, a resource-rich region hiding an ancient prison. The Zorathians demand immediate access, while the Elurians urge caution, and the Kessari seek technological advancement. Tensions escalate, leading to skirmishes and the Council’s collapse. Amid the chaos, whispers of a malevolent entity, Ecliptis Prime, trapped within the Veil, emerge. As the Zorathian and Elurian fleets clash, the prison weakens, awakening the entity. A young Aelorian diplomat, Taelon, forms the Unity Accord to reunite the galaxy. A joint task force, Unity’s Light, ventures into the Veil, battling the entity’s manifestations. In a desperate final act, they sacrifice their flagship to stabilize the prison, sealing the entity. The Federation, humbled and scarred, begins to rebuild, but the Veil stands as a reminder: unity is fragile, and darkness lingers.  
    This is the second in a series of six audiobooks in the series, the others will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this first instalment, and it's only $3, all subsequent will remain at that price as I would not like price to be a barrier to your enjoyment. 
    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 14 minutes and is narrated in my own voice.  
          The chapters and parts of the story are in the pdf attachment.
