Author's Disclaimer: After receiving feedback from several readers regarding the story's pacing, I feel it necessary to add the following disclaimer. This is a slower paced series than some of you might be accustomed to, focusing on character growth and a gradual narrative build-up. If you're looking for a fast-paced action adventure in space, it might not be your cup of tea.

Cries of the Disillusioned is a nihilistic space opera that explores how humanity's arrival on the galactic scene reshapes the galaxy, mostly for the worse, over a period of 100+ years. Each book takes place several decades apart from the previous one, featuring a mostly new set of characters. This means each installment may be treated as a standalone, though it's still recommended to read them in linear order.

Book 1: Dark Horizon

The peaceful albeit aristocratic alliance of alien races known as the Galactic Union has proven successful in its thousand-year effort of building a prosperous galactic community.

But all that changes dramatically for the worse when Union science gives birth to a revolutionary new warp drive, suddenly granting access to the aptly named 'Unstable Regions'.

A trio of brave aliens working for the infamous Exploration Division is bullied by the Union's highest authorities into testing the experimental drive: Agozi, an adventurous if not snarky female belonging to the cat-like Mevik race of aliens, her Captain and lover, Kaz, and the intelligent but fragile Xeno-psychologist Zelana Song belonging to the batlike Langa species.

While their haphazard quest appears to be successful initially, things quickly go wrong when their journey places them into direct contact with an unimaginably dangerous and barbaric new race.

That race is Humankind.

Book 2: TBA

Release schedule: Every book consists of 3 distinct Acts that are uploaded individually every several months unless stated otherwise.
