Exodus

by Joshua Kapusinski

New Earth was a planet of peace, but Quan’s broadcast to the world changed things forever. His message was an underground group of psychics called the Awakening is plotting to upset the established order and impose their new regime over humanity. In book two of the Wars of the Republic series, follow Quan Son Jerry as he learns to master his abilities and help Exodus, the rival group of psychics, find the planet of power that could turn the tide in their war against the Awakening. Yet problems soon arise when Quan and Alexander learn of the perilous fate of Derek and Mirabelle in the prison holds of Telaris. On that planet, Mirabelle’s faith in humanity will be tested under Beretta’s bane, and Derek will have to choose between loyalty to his own family or his newfound friends. Alliances will break, rebellions will rise, and somehow this strange group of friends must survive as they find themselves living during the return of the Republic’s enemy lurking in the darkest corners of the galaxy.

About the author

Welcome! I'm a history teacher, follower of Jesus, and science fiction writer. If you're into dueling tournaments, mysteries, and speculative fiction, maybe you've come to the right place.

I try to write fast-paced, character-centered fiction. It's what I love. Hopefully, I've done that with my first book, the Awakening.

The rest of the series is a work in progress, so stay tuned for more!
