Away(Vol 1: Beginnings & Vol 2: Keepers of the Alliance): The Complete Edition

For the first time ever, the complete Away saga (Volume 1: Beginnings and Volume 2: Keepers of the Alliance) is now available in one book. Spanning over fifty years, Away chronicles the adventures of quantum physicist Alberto Rys. Stumbling upon a scientific breakthrough that could revolutionize the transportation of people, resources, goods and even information around the globe, Dr. Rys begins a quest to realize the discovery's full potential. He's eventually joined by a group of equally brilliant and idiosyncratic souls, who help him to rapidly develop the technology. However, as they near their goal, they find themselves suddenly entangled in a web of deceit that shatters their team and inadvertently brings Dr. Rys to the faraway world of Onav. There he encounters the ghostly remnants of a once mighty interstellar alliance and learns of the invincible race of predators who almost destroyed it, the Grell. Dr. Rys is then asked to make a choice that will reverberate throughout humanity: Will Earth join the struggle against the Grell or will the disembodied spirits of Onav forever be all that remains of the Alliance?
