The Forsaken Planet - Bryan Wilson

The world is more than just a planet. It's an ancient tribute to the woman who guided it from ruin, a devastation she foresaw arising again. \n \n When mysterious aircraft wreak havoc across Earth's skies, it is revealed that there are clusters of other planets where humankind resides, distant worlds where the people wield the power of the stars themselves. It is an energy force that can bring about miracles or, as the alien fleet's ruthless leader displays, unleash horrors beyond imagination. \n After experiencing a loss during the onslaught, Colton Samson, an ordinary college student, vows to protect his loved ones at any cost. But to learn the power to do so, he must enlist into the Army of the Universal Throne-a second alien force with its own agenda. \n With the revelation of a secret prophecy foretelling humanity's demise and Colton's improbable role in preventing it, he embarks alongside a diverse group of friends to the Throne's capital, the planet of Vintara. There he faces prejudice from supposed allies, lifelike combat simulations that test him to his core, and the looming threat of a universal war. Only by embracing his true potential can Colton hope to secure the safety he seeks, in a universe that views him as nothing more than Forsaken. \n \n -Warnings: Violence and minor profanity. -Note: This is the first installment of a planned series. \nReviews: The Forsaken Planet is an epic science fantasy debut that simultaneously satiates and leaves me hungry for more. - BiblioTheory, BookTube \n Uniquely weaves together the beginnings of a sprawling space opera with a fantasy core that works surprisingly well...Overall, I loved this book and highly recommend it! - Bookstagram \n -The Power of the Stars- With it, we are capable of greatness or are a weapon that will only bring suffering to the universe. \n When mysterious aircraft wreak havoc across Earth's skies, it is revealed that there are clusters of other planets where humankind resides, distant worlds where the people wield the power of the stars themselves.
