JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES Book 6 of 6 - The Final Convergence This story is summarized as follows: As Jupiter's storms churn with cosmic energy, Captain Minerva Voss and her crew race to stop Syndicate fanatic Malakor from firing the Godsbane Lance—a weapon designed to destroy Jove during the Harmonic Convergence. While Minerva infiltrates Malakor’s flagship, Jove awakens fully, broadcasting a psychic judgment across the solar system: humanity must prove its worthiness after eons of forgetting its cosmic origins. Minerva responds by uniting humanity’s collective consciousness—showcasing both its flaws and potential. In a climactic duel, she destroys the Lance as Jove delivers its verdict: humanity is imperfect but capable of growth. The convergence ends with Jove withdrawing but leaving ancient knowledge accessible, trusting humanity to choose wisdom over destruction. The Syndicate collapses, and Minerva emerges as a guide for humanity’s new cosmic era—one where they must earn their place among the stars. This is the final audiobook in the series and I do hope you enjoy this last instalment, and it's only $3. 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 40 plus 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!
