WELCOME TO KIRANIS

A 7-part SFF Hybrid Space Opera,

set in a universe which shouldn't exist

Kiranis is the brainchild of Irish author of SFF and Historical Fiction, Ronald A. Geobey. With a love for Star Trek, Star Wars, Dune, Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, and drawing influence from Fringe, Lost, The Matrix, and a healthy mix of astrophysics and philosophy, this project is the culmination of 30 years of ruminating on the nature of the universe and the meaning of life.

Gods Of Kiranis

A UNIVERSE AWAKENS

A mysterious structure encompasses Earth, and while the Church of the New Elect prepares for communion with the Sentience, a dark and distant world is reborn.

Making an alliance with a powerful and enigmatic species, humankind is brought to a terrible realisation: they do not belong in this universe.

 

Cassandra Messina was warned these days would come, and she believes God is on her side.

 

But the one who speaks from the shadows is not a god at all.

Not even close.

Secrets of The Universe

WELCOME TO THE ABSOLUTION

Aboard the stolen Absolution flagship, Icarus, Philip Arthur seeks revenge against the unseen prophet-killer beyond the Barrier, facing his demons as the ship pierces the void. But Philip Arthur was ever destined to fly too close to the sun…

 

The Station Master Aphestan is crossing galaxies to find Naveen, and his Cen-Dith army are unlike anything humankind has engaged before. As the sun boils and an unprecedented disaster threatens Earth, the timing could not be worse.

 

When the Barrier is crossed and a great deceit dissolves, the twin empires of humankind will know humility; while on Kiranis, as a familiar power moves towards the return of the Great Black Dragon…

 

…the secrets of the Universe are finally laid bare.

THE HEART OF ALL THINGS

The Eternal Empress has made her way to the Garran worlds, ready to bleed them dry before pressing on into new territory. But Philip Arthur is also at Sieltor Prime, and he will need to choose between vengeance and alliance. With what he has learned of this universe, nihilism may indeed win out.

Sent to Earth as vanguard of the empress, Janey Echad must silence the voices in her head if she is to face what is yet to come. First she will face Mryra Yln, a Jaevisk Traveller alone in this galaxy, determined to bring his brothers and sisters home to sail again the Shimmering Seas and retake Kiranis. But Janey is not alone…

Amidst the developing Garran occupation of Earth, a small force of humans and Garran must set aside their prejudices to focus on their common enemy. But alliances are twisting and the greatest enemy is yet to come.

As all this unfolds, the now adult Naveen has yet to become the Prophet, but the wolves are at his door and all seek to control his destiny and the future of Kiranis. What he learns of this universe will set him upon a path from which no one can turn him.

And Absolution awaits.
