Foundra the Rift War
Foundra the Rift War | Emmanuel M. Arriaga
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Author Emmanuel M. Arriaga gives readers an adventure of epic proportion in his sci-fi space opera Foundra: The Rift War. Immortals Lanrete, a founder of the Huzien Empire he helped to build more than eighty thousand years ago, and Soahc, a Cihphist magic wielder, find themselves at the center of an apocalyptic war. An ancient being known only as Sagren is accidentally released from its prison after five-hundred-thousand-years of captivity. Now free, Sagren unleashes an army of horrid creatures on alliance citizens as war plunges the Twin Galaxies into chaos. Human engineer Neven, a new recruit, joins the effort but questions whether he's up to the task. Not all members of the immortals team will survive. The gruesome battles will test the very humanity of Lanrete, Soahc, and their comrades. Each war has its hero, but heroes can't do it alone-they need help. Inspired by fantasy authors like RA Salvatore, science fiction movies, and his childhood hobby of playing Dungeons and Dragons, Emmanuel M. Arriaga crafts a galactic story encompassing both adventure and romance. Multiple story lines combine into a powerhouse epic full of thrills and heartfelt relationships.

Foundra the Rift War | Emmanuel M. Arriaga

This is the first in a space opera trilogy. Unfortunately, it didn't do it for me. Between the generic science fiction "big bad" storyline, the casual sexism, the too detailed descriptive writing, the over use of made up words, and the myriad of sex scenes... nothing was really working for me. Even the battles were unfortunately boring... Recommendation: a hard pass ?
