Publisher's summary
On a world brought to the brink of destruction, life now clings to the shattered remains of the planet's crust. These fragments are the Shells: fragile wastelands of desert and rock, protected from the cold of space by a water shield. In the struggle for survival, its people have depended on ancient technology, controlled by the omnipresent Network, to sustain the entire population. But the Network is breaking down, water is sparse, and a complete societal collapse is imminent. As the stakes become clear, the inhabitants of the Shells begin to turn on each other, and appear headed for all-out global war. Now the paths of several strangers will converge at the opportune moment. From a woman who seeks to protect her family as it's ripped apart to a prison warden hiding from his past, this unlikely group has little in common - but together, they may hold the key to saving humanity from its worst enemy: itself.

Though the ragtag group of misfits known as the Black Star Renegades won a decisive battle by destroying Ga Halle’s War Hammer, the war is far from over. In response to losing the crown jewel of its fleet, the Praxis empire has vengefully reinforced its tyranny across the galaxy - but its rule won't be had so easily. Led by hotshot pilot Kira Sen, a growing rebel force stands in the way of Praxis’ might. Not only do they possess the will to fight for galactic freedom, they also possess the ultimate ace in the hole: the mythical Rokura, the most powerful weapon ever known.

It has been 20 years since the end of the war. The dictatorial Augurs, once thought of almost as gods, were overthrown and wiped out during the conflict, their much-feared powers mysteriously failing them. Those who had ruled under them, men and women with a lesser ability known as the Gift, avoided the Augurs' fate only by submitting themselves to the rebellion's Four Tenets.

They're all gone. We remember them like yesterday: pieces of our stolen heritage. Things like NASA. Football. Parades and pies. Good things, comfortable things. We remember a time when we were alone in the universe, safe and oblivious. But it's all gone now. We called them the Telestines, and in the face of their ruthless invasion we were powerless. By 2040, all the world's governments and militaries had fallen, and the remnants of humanity exiled to the solar system. We looked down on our blue planet, so close to our birthplace, so close to our home.

Which is why the 16-year-old girl discovered floating among the wreckage - alive - is making headlines across the globe.

Then that comfortable world ended in just one terrifying day.

Excellent FIRST Book - Amazing story
This is just the first book, the second is called Fall. It has not been published yet.
The story telling is amazing a scribe is gathering the viewpoints of two individuals and trying to tell a narrative of events that will save society. The end of the story is a cliffhanger for the second book. The included appendix of the first interview with Quentin shows how crazy he really is.
Please support this author, this is Brian Guthrie's first book, to bring out more amazing books that continue this story. You will enjoy the ride.

Interesting premise, dull reader
Overall I found the story interesting with a clever execution, but I found that I can’t listen to this book during my evening commute because the reader puts me to sleep. If I wasn’t concerned about losing the thread if the story it would be great at bedtime. On the road it’s a recipe for disaster.

this was so good. I couldn't stop listening. I found myself trying to predict every step of the way yet I was kept on my toes and still have no idea what's to come. I can't wait for chapter 2!

very unique story!
I haven't read a lot of science fiction books so I don't have a lot to compare this to, but I enjoyed listening to Rise very much. The world as we know it is completely blown apart... such an interesting concept and like nothing I've ever read. It makes the whole setting strange yet oddly familiar. The characters were authentic and relatable. I'm glad I stepped outside my normal genres and listened to this. The narrator did a good job with the different characters. I'm looking forward to the next book to find out what happens next!

Not my kind of book
The story was very hard to follow. Wasn't sure which character was speaking when. No real resolution at the end. I did really like the talking wolf though.
