The Living Core : Shattered Sky

An ancient galactic power. A father torn from his world. A war that spans the stars.

Sora was just an ordinary guy surviving day-to-day on the Queensland coast-until an Sudden Shockwave crashed near his hometown, fusing his very heart with the Living Core: a volatile, ancient engine of unrefined kinetic energy.

Now, Sora is the ultimate prize in a brutal interstellar war.

Hunted across the ridge lines of his hometown by a terrifying Vanguard Hound, Sora and a squad of elite Guardian refugees barely survive the creature's assault. But the threat to Earth is absolute. To keep the enemy armada from burning his home planet to ash, Sora is forced to make an agonizing choice: step aboard a stealth frigate and leave behind everything he loves-most of all, his young son.
Driven by a single, burning promise to survive and return to his child, Sora journeys into the treacherous, asteroid-strewn graveyard of the Shattered Reach. There, surrounded by new allies and deep-space threats, he must learn to master the blinding supernova locked behind his ribs before the Vanguard's war fleet sweeps the galaxy clean.
