<p>Author's Disclaimer: After receiving feedback from several readers regarding the story's pacing, I feel it necessary to add the following disclaimer. This is a slower paced series than some of you might be accustomed to, focusing on character growth and a gradual narrative build-up. If you're looking for a fast-paced action adventure in space, it might not be your cup of tea.</p> <p>Cries of the Disillusioned is a nihilistic space opera that explores how humanity's arrival on the galactic scene reshapes the galaxy, mostly for the worse, over a period of 100+ years. Each book takes place several decades apart from the previous one, featuring a mostly new set of characters. This means each installment may be treated as a standalone, though it's still recommended to read them in linear order.</p> <p>Book 1: Dark Horizon</p> <p>The peaceful albeit aristocratic alliance of alien races known as the Galactic Union has proven successful in its thousand-year effort of building a prosperous galactic community.</p> <p>But all that changes dramatically for the worse when Union science gives birth to a revolutionary new warp drive, suddenly granting access to the aptly named 'Unstable Regions'.</p> <p>A trio of brave aliens working for the infamous Exploration Division is bullied by the Union's highest authorities into testing the experimental drive: Agozi, an adventurous if not snarky female belonging to the cat-like Mevik race of aliens, her Captain and lover, Kaz, and the intelligent but fragile Xeno-psychologist Zelana Song belonging to the batlike Langa species.</p> <p>While their haphazard quest appears to be successful initially, things quickly go wrong when their journey places them into direct contact with an unimaginably dangerous and barbaric new race.</p> <p>That race is Humankind.</p> <p>Book 2: TBA</p> <p>Release schedule: Every book consists of 3 distinct Acts that are uploaded individually every several months unless stated otherwise.</p> <p>ETA for Book 1: Act 2: Currently being released.</p> <p>The series features original artwork.</p>
