But then she and her brother Deneb are separated from their pod when a devastating earthquake and tsunami render the seascape unrecognizable.

  Jupiter Rising - The Celestial...

  JUPITER RISING – THE CELESTIAL CHRONICLES 
  Book 2 of 6 The Centaur's Prophecy 
  This story is summarized as follows: 
  In The Centaur’s Prophecy, Dr. Minerva Voss deciphers a star-map leading to Enceladus, where the last Sagittari centaur, Chiron, reveals a dire truth: Jove imprisons Nyx, a void entity now breaking free. The Syndicate, led by Darius Kane, attacks, seeking to weaponize this power. Chiron imprints Minerva with celestial runes, showing her visions of a cosmic arrow—the only weapon capable of sealing Nyx. As the Library collapses, Minerva’s team escapes, pursued by Kane’s centaur-hybrid drones. The runes guide them toward the Horsehead Nebula, where the arrow is hidden. With the Syndicate closing in and Nyx’s corruption spreading, Minerva must master her new connection to the Sagittari or risk annihilation. The hunt for the arrow becomes a race against time, blending ancient mythology and interstellar warfare, setting the stage for a battle that will decide humanity’s fate. 
  This is the second of six audiobooks in the series, the next will become available in the very near future and I do hope you enjoy this second instalment. 
  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!

  Cincinnati, Ohio, lives and dies by college basketball, with two elite Division I rivals separated by a mere three miles. Rory’s dad just secured a new coaching gig at University of Cincinnati, so it means yet another school and move for her, only this time to her dad’s hometown. Rory’s life  
  revolves around basketball; she’s never had a close friend outside of it. Could this be a chance for a fresh start? 
   
  Abby has always lived in Cincinnati, where her dad grew up playing ball and now coaches at Xavier University. But Abby has recently retreated from basketball after a frustrating season that left her confidence in shambles. This year, she finds herself on the outside looking in when it comes  
  to her former teammates, and she could seriously use a new friend. 
   
  The coaches’ daughters connect over their shared love of the game when Abby chaperones Rory on her first day of school. But when Abby’s dad practically forbids their friendship because of something that happened between him and Rory’s dad when they were younger, Abby and Rory have  
  no choice but to move their budding friendship underground. 
   
  Can the two of them get to the bottom of what went down between their dads in the 1990s before history repeats itself?

  A collection of 7 adventure books designed to stimulate an interest in science for children ages 6 to 10. Each book features illustrations on every page and is available for individual purchase. Published in Spanish, Catalan, and English. 
  The collection consists of Xenia's life, a very creative and dreamy girl who shares her adventures with her cousin Alex, who will be always accompanying her. The Galactic Girl, takes Xenia and Alex through space to get to know the action-packed home of the stars. The children visit the Pleiades Nursery School, Red Nebula, where they get to know the elders of the stars and the Orion Nebula, home of the adolescent stars. 
  The author, in addition to being the owner of these two collections for children, in 2022 published two novels in Spanish: "Los entresijos de una vida" and "Heridas silenciosas”. Both based on real events that happened to Petry, a Chilean orphan, who travels to Spain to find her roots. All books can be found in en www.amazon.com or in “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, Roselló, 181, Bcn. Mas información en: www.chatipan.net 
  Between 2024 and 2025, the writer donated all her books to the “Tibet House Foundation”, of Barcelona, to contribute to the education of Tibetan orphans who have fled Tibet. This is because the Chinese authorities are erasing their Tibetan language and traditions in schools, requiring children to learn only Mandarin. Help the cause please, by buying a book. 
  Thanks
