    About this ebook

    "Now I know who is pulling the strings, who twisted my life into a nightmare and made me a pawn in a conflict threatening the universe."

    After escaping Earth and humanity's self-imposed destruction, Cockroach has buried the past for a brighter future. A new home and working for the prestigious, all-powerful longevity industry are the base for a peaceful existence. However, darkness looms behind the light, and a threat casts its shadow.
    When an attack against the industrial empire occurs, a long-forgotten ghost emerges, shattering the well-constructed serenity.

    Being marked the prime suspect, a desperate Cockroach flees from authorities while battling inner demons and looming demise. The support from an unexpected source gives rise to hope and might present salvation. But nothing is as it seems, and when bitter insights reveal themselves, the human mechanic must find the strength to face the truth and fight.

    Caught In The Vortex is the engaging first book in the Longevity Universe, a trilogy of adventurous Sci-Fi novels. If you enjoy flawed heroes, empires with hidden secrets and a universe on the brink of destruction, this imaginative roller coaster ride is for you.

      An epic Sci-Fi story – highly recommend

      Everything is going well for Cockroach, the main protagonist in A. Elnas' Caught in the Vortex: a well-paid mechanic job for the life-prolonging industry and another century or two living a peaceful life on Randran. What could go wrong?
      Life takes a turn for the worst when the industrial empire faces an attack and shuts down, impacting the whole universe. Cockroach gets accused, has to flee, forms unexpected alliances and faces gut-wrenching betrayal. Is he strong enough to fight back and stop the destruction, or is everything he does in vain?

      I truly enjoyed reading Caught in the Vortex. The author builds a fascinating universe with relatable characters, a gripping premise and high stakes. I am looking forward to the next book.
