Binary Helix

by E.L. Strife

A mysterious EMP wave neutralized the battle between Thyteria, Chromatans, and Nevrin. Every ship fell dark in the stars, effectively ending the conflict. It left the Thyterian Empire scrambling to escape, the Chromatans scattered, the enemy Nevrin retreating to the outer rim, and Revni Crasher curious what could launch such a powerful beam across the galaxy and make all their struggles seem so small.

The war with Thyteria and Nevrins isn't over. Revni knows nothing will get solved if someone else keeps getting in the way. So, while the different species pull themselves back together, Revni decides to embark on a journey alone to discover the source of the blue wave. What she uncovers will change her very concept of life and alter Revni forever.

Her daring actions ignite a new battle, making enemies of friends, friends of enemies, and turning the entire solar system on itself. Long-silent colonists from the other planets surface in the stars with different traits, skills, and agendas, throwing the war into an entirely new direction.

Will Revni find what she's searching for in time to save those closest to her? Or will the source of the blue wave wreck her world for good?

A science fiction colonization story with action, violence, and cursing.

About the author

Strife enjoys crafting science fiction novels in various subgenres including space opera, cyberpunk, and fantasy. Sometimes she writes about aliens and colonization, other times she sticks to genetic engineering, the supernatural, and corrupt futuristic societies. Strife’s Sci-Fi is often crude and graphic, features strong women, and typically includes people who like to blow s--- up.

E. L. isn’t always in front of her laptop. She enjoys taking the four-wheelers to the coast with her husband and doing donuts in the sand. Strife most enjoys camping in the mountains and soaking in hot springs in the snow, but you're most likely to find her in the gym.

Strife craves learning new things like that crazy stuff called astrophysics and how to work on her 1981 Corvette and her Jeep. She hopes, someday, to add to her list of apocalyptic survival skills by learning to weld.

E. L. has traveled the US and Europe, served in the military, and completed two Bachelor's Degrees in Public Health and Human Sciences. She's toured lava tubes, the NASA center in Houston, castles, concentration camps, the Shelby center in Las Vegas, and many natural wonders. She's even learned to race BMWs at the track in southern California.

Strife enjoys connecting with readers and welcomes all feedback and questions. If you’d like to know when Strife’s next books will be out, and to ensure you hear about her giveaways, visit her website: elstrife.com and subscribe via the links on her homepage.

I continue to really enjoy this series. Gritty, fast-paced, surprising, and often graphic.
Great reading. I enjoy stories about damage heroes and Revni (Raven) is all flaws – but has a deep strength within her. She’s been attacked in so many ways (except maybe nuked) and she finds a way to keep fighting.
Look forward to #6…

A well-written Sci-Fi, filled with battles, rescue, danger, conflict and unexpected changes. An interesting read. I received a complimentary copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This was a good addition to the series! Lots of action, adventure & a fair amount of violence! A change to the normal EMP story, which is good! A few twists in the plot, helps to keep it interesting! I did enjoy it & will read the next in the series.
