About this audiobook
After a great catastrophe, the planet Arun rose from the ashes over the centuries to become a thriving world. The mighty Future Centre exists to safeguard this progress. Against all expectations, the talented but neurotic Radan Grandee Farir is chosen to lead it. He soon finds himself mired in trouble: a brilliant young rival named Arbelle has her sights set on his position, a shadowy organisation presents an unknown threat, and to cap it all, researchers detect advanced life on a planet in a neighbouring solar system—one that has dispatched a spacecraft heading straight for Arun. Radan must steady his nerves and save his world from descending into chaos, even as his own position teeters on the brink.
