Nothing has stopped the Greshian Empire's expanse, but all hope isn't lost...
The illusion of peace shrouds a hidden darkness. Just as the crew of the Replicade are getting settled on a seemingly tranquil world, they encounter a young girl with special abilities—and she’s being hunted by a secret, powerful organization that will stop at nothing to have her.
When Anki and Brendle intervene to help the girl, they are caught in the organization’s crosshairs. The crew must make a decision: give into the looming threat of the organization, or die fighting to protect her.
Meanwhile, Lieutenant Commander Ilium Gyl has taken command of a Greshian scout ship. A breach in protocol raises questions of his loyalty to the Greshian Empire, leading to a power struggle as a rebellion sparks in a distant sector of the Alorian Galaxy. His ambitions may cripple the Greshian Fleet, or he might just be the empire’s savior.

Drew Avera is a Navy veteran, musician, and the bestselling author of the Dead Planet series and the Alorian Wars.
He was born and raised in rural Mississippi and grew up with a deep affection for comic books and science fiction movies and television shows. At one point he boasted a comic book collection with more than 1,000 issues. His love for comics inspired him to pursue a career as a comic book artist, but an injury to his hand ended that dream permanently.
Still, he was inspired to create in one medium or the other. He picked up a guitar at fifteen years old and began writing songs almost immediately. That “obsession” as his parents called it put him on the path to rock stardom…in his bedroom.
It was when he turned sixteen and bought the novel “What Savage Beast” by Peter David (The Incredible Hulk) that he caught the bug to be a writer. Unfortunately, it would not come to fruition until fourteen years later.
Drew enlisted in the US Navy as an Aviation Electricians Mate at seventeen years old. He served twenty years and deployed on four combat deployments to the Persian Gulf. During those deployments he would spend his free time reading books. He loved reading books in a series and that inspired his journey to becoming a fiction author.
In November 2012, at the age of thirty, Drew began his journey as an author by participating in national Novel Writing Month (NANoWriMo). He published his first book in March of 2013 and the rest, as they say, is history. With more than twenty books published in the space opera, military science fiction, cyberpunk, and dystopian genres, he has built a backlog with something for everyone who enjoys science fiction adventures.
After retiring from the Navy, he began an exciting new career in the simulation field. Drew is now focusing his efforts on building upon what he learned in his first eight years of publishing. He has plans for an all-new space opera and military science fiction series as well as new collaborations with other writers.
Do you like your action thick and fast? Then you won’t be disappointed with the latest adventure involving Brendle, Anki, and the crew of the gunship Replicade: A young girl who can teleport and – apparently – control the minds of others; a mysterious corporation with access to some of the most sophisticated tech in the known galaxy; a secret shadow organization operating within the military itself; old adversaries, hell-bent on revenge. Oh yes. And someone who should be dead set loose to do one thing . . . kill! What do all these things have in common? They all seem to want a piece of the crew of the Replicade, that’s what! You’ll see, in an action adventure that’s sure to please
Love the series. I have read the first 3 books in a row and I will be starting book 4 next (a record for me)! Why? Because the characters and their adventures are greatly told through a writing style that is more personal/character-driven by the author. As the story itself goes, everything is relatively unoriginal, but (and that's where the author's real talent lies) you feel like everything is intense and life treathning. I really love this series and to take me away from my usual bombastic action fare reads you can believe that is is really, really good.
Audiobook: I enjoyed book 3 of "The Alorian Wars" series. A girl with special powers stowed away upon the Replicade. The Replicade became hunted by a secret organization whose members were looking for the girl. The story was entertaining. I appreciated the strain and development of the characters' interactions as more stress was placed on their lives. I am looking forward to more stories in this series. Rebecca Sternberg's narration was tolerable, but her performance was more akin to girls in a high school than the life and death themes featured in this story. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.
Mutiny Rising (Alorian Wars, #3) my seventh read/listen from author Drew Avera. Enjoyable space opera science fiction. I was given an Audible copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." The gifting of this book did not affect my opinion of it. The book was well-written & flowed smoothly & quickly. The action has cranked up over the first 3+ books and I anticipate it increasing more. I look forward to reading more from this author and in this series, in fact, Shadow Empire: The Alorian Wars, Book 4 will be high on my TBR list just as soon as I get it. The book was well-narrated, as always, by Rebecca Sternberg. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).
Mutiny Rising, the third installment of the Alorian Wars series by Drew Avera, narrated by Rebecca Sternberg, is a thrilling space opera filled with action, suspense, and intrigue that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Avera's ability to create a vivid world combined with Sternberg's captivating narration will transport you into the heart of the story. I highly recommend this audiobook to anyone who loves sci-fi and fantasy.
Carries on the tale of our unlikely crew that is so capable of getting in and out of trouble. Maybe it's me but this volume seemed to dig deeper into the personalities. Also a new character is added. A young girl with fantastic abilities. Will she stay with our crew? Guess we'll see 😉
The crew of the Replicate, had hoped that they could finally get their ship repaired. But once again they are thrown a curve ball, when a young girl needs help.
The continues with fast paced drama. The characters grow dearer to my heart as they battle for survival. If you like space battles and mystery you will enjoy this series
