It is a time of accelerating technological change & shifting allegiances as the old rules fall away & the old balance of power is upended.

SIDESPACE (Aurora Renegades Book One)

Humanity is saved. But its troubles are just beginning.

To achieve their extraordinary triumph over the Metigen armada, humanity put aside its myriad of conflicts & united against a common foe intent on annihilating civilization. In victory, unparalleled peace & prosperity are theirs for the taking--if they can keep hold of them.

When the secrets behind the Metigens' defeat escape the shadows, the people who won the war find their lives in danger. Facing anti-synthetic terrorists who want them dead, power-hungry politicians who want them chained, & a rapidly dwindling number of people they can trust, the Prevos--individuals & AIs sharing a single body--must take their fate into their own hands.

51 Portals. 51 Universes.

Intent on learning the purpose behind the Metigens' elaborate multiverse network, Alex Solovy, Caleb Marano & Valkyrie embark on a gripping journey through the network's portals, each one leading to a universe not their own. In a mosaic of spaces inhabited by fantastical aliens & worlds both beautiful & deadly, they will be forced to question everything they thought they knew, including the nature of life itself.

Ratings and reviews

This review will encompass the first nine books of the Amaranthe Universe (aka Amaranthe Rhapsody) and will be posted in the three collections. I am a 72-year-old male and have been reading science fiction since I was 12 years old. I have over 700 science fiction books catalogued in LibraryThing. In all those years I have only 3 characters that have stuck fast in my mind all these years - Hari Seldon from Assimov's Foundation Series, Jimmy DiGriz from Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat novels and Paul Atreides from Frank Herbert's Dune series. But I am absolutely positive that Alex Solovy (along with mother Miriam) and Caleb Marano are now part of that exclusive list! Where to begin... Encompassing 2972 pages in the first three collections I cannot recall a more involving or enjoyable read! The character development is absolutely incredible. You'll be cheering for Alex and Caleb throughout the entire saga. But I think the most amazing thing is the fact that Ms. Jennsen has invoked not only laughter but tears more than once. And I know I have never read any other science fiction book or series that has accomplished that. So I sincerely recommend that you dive into it and hope that GS never stops writing because she is just fantastic!!! There are many more books in the series and I can't wait to see where they take me next...

Really enjoyable sci-fi, explores human nature, transhumanism, evolution, and adds a very interesting option to Fermi's paradox. Well-written characters, fun tech, and a compelling story, I fully recommend both this and the previous trilogy and I'm leaving to buy the third now!

Can't wait to start the next trilogy, the e others I've read so far have been outstanding

About the author

G. S. JENNSEN lives somewhere in the U.S., in a locale that may or may not be where she lived the last time she published a book (she’s a gypsy at heart), with her husband and two dogs. She has become an internationally bestselling author since her first novel, Starshine, was published in 2014. She has chosen to continue writing under an independent publishing model to ensure the integrity of her stories and her ability to execute on the vision she has for their telling. 

While she has been a lawyer, a software engineer and an editor, she’s found the life of a full-time author preferable by several orders of magnitude. When she isn’t writing, she’s gaming or working out or getting lost in the mountains that loom large outside the windows in her home. Or she’s dealing with a flooded basement, or standing in a line at Walmart reading the tabloid headlines and wondering who all of those people are. Or sitting on her back porch with a glass of wine, looking up at the stars, trying to figure out what could be up there.
