Determined to take control of Karm's vast industrial empire, Brach joins forces with his conniving brother Pareth, leader of The Faith an ultra-conservative religious order committed to stopping Dr. Rocker and his heretical efforts to develop cloning techniques.

Empyrean
The Brin Archives Book 3

In this conclusion to The Brin Archives, Maliche Rocker must risk everything including his family’s reputation and even his life, to uncover the truth about the Skae. For over three hundred years the Brin have believed the Skae to be their benefactors, and the race that rescued them from extinction. But recent revelations by a group of young Kolbri, the offspring of Brin and Kolandi mating, tell a disturbingly different story.

Three Kolbri, including Maliche’s son Jontar, must use their unique abilities to telepathically connect with technology, and discover the truth about the Skae once and for all by undertaking a perilous journey through thousands of years in space and time, unravelling the history hidden from them by Skae. During this expedition, Jontar and his two companions must encounter the Gorvin, hated enemy of the Skae and supposed instigators of the current interstellar war.

What turned the Skae and Gorvin into mortal enemies? What is the true cause of the war responsible for the destruction of hundreds of worlds over thousands of years? Will Maliche and his small group find the truth and avert disaster both at home and across the galaxy? Can his wife, Ryma, hold the Brin government together long enough for Maliche to succeed? Only time will tell.

Hello. My name is Jim Cronin. I am the author of four science fiction novels; a trilogy titled The Brin Archives which contains the books Hegira, Recusant, and Empyrean. Also a stand alone young adult scifi story titled Aeon Rises. I was asked to tell a little bit about myself so here goes.

I was born in Kansas City, Missouri, but soon moved to Arlington, Virginia where I lived until I was twelve years old. My family moved out to Denver, Colorado in 1966 where I have lived ever since. You can do the math if you want to see how old I am. I became a science teacher and spent thirty-five years behind the desk, mostly at the middle school level. I retired several years ago and began searching for something to occupy my time and two things developed. First, I started working part-time at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. A dream job for me because I still get to talk with kids about science, without all the paper grading and angry phone calls. And I get to become an astronaut on the surface of Mars to chat with folks about space! Yes, I wear a full spacesuit and walk around doing work in our Mars diorama as if I am really an astronaut on Mars! So much fun.
The second thing that happened is that my brother challenged me to write a book at the same time he was writing one. I took the bait and found that I actually had a lot of fun writing and making up characters and putting them in harms way, only to rescue them from certain doom at the last second. At least I try to save most of them. I guess I first considered myself a writer when a publishing company, Solstice Publishing, picked up my first book and wanted to help me develop it. I have been with them ever since. I even have a sort of mascot at my desk to help me out from time-to-time. Marvin the Martian. He was my mascot in my classrooms over the years, and Marvin even became my call sign as an astronaut at the museum. I have several Marvin items around my desk to help me think when I need it.
Otherwise, when I am not working or writing, I like to relax by reading, watching movies, going for walks or bike rides. I live close to some amazing hiking/biking trails and love to get out whenever I can.
