Galactic Citadel series by Thorby Rudbek (#1-3)
Requirements: .ePUB .MOBI .AZW3 Reader | 6.8 MB
Overview: Thorby Rudbek writes Young Adult Science Fiction and Fantasy. He calls his Sci-Fi "Tender-Crisp", meaning it is upbeat, bright (i.e. not dark!) has lots of excitement, adventure, interesting characters and some real, old-fashioned heroes. His idea of romance is refreshingly completely free of ‘bedroom gymnastics’.
Genre: Science Fiction
Ascent (#1) Citadel – a forgotten inheritance – An obsidian-black monument over a hundred feet long in a small coastal town in Maine, oddly out of place amongst quaint cottages, but somehow never noticed over uncounted years… until now.
A lonely, pale wisp of a girl recently registered for the final year of high school. Her registration lists this apparently solid rock – Citadel – as her home.
The lone survivor of a family unexpectedly recovers from unconsciousness after many months and moves to the coast. Unlike the locals, he is drawn to and fascinated by the crenelated Citadel and even more by… the girl.
A nuclear submarine and half of a dead man. A private and exclusive cruiser strangely damaged and deserted, the occupants mysteriously missing. A crushed superstructure and a shadowy black shape high in the atmosphere.
An isolated series of structures on a cold and barren planet, an almost inhuman, human jailor, who in turn is a slave to the cold, ruthless ‘Controllers’.
An air force fighter jet broiled and brought down into the ocean close to Citadel. An eclectic collection of stolen items: a trailer full of frozen food; a huge haul of exclusive jewellery; a motley assortment of vehicles and expensive ingots of super-pure beryllium.
A civil evacuation, a military blockade and an airborne invasion by one very ordinary helicopter against the cream of the armed forces – resulting in a deadly battle and an impossible outcome.
Passage (#2) Citadel – a reclaimed inheritance – Obsidian-black, new views, new perspectives.
Gas giants, a barren world, a diminished star, outposts and frontiers. Two passengers, and one ‘Tutor’.
A pale wisp of a girl, lonely no longer. A new friend and a relative at last. The loss of hope. The discovery, destruction and sparing of the enemy.
Grey mists and premonitions. To learn, to repair, to kill and to spare.
Canadian extreme multiculturalism. A pilot, a single-seat jet, an incredible rescue and incarceration. An ultimatum – unbelievers, messengers misunderstood, and unappreciated. A hand-held laser and a crumbling hangar floor. Floating in an electric chair. Discoveries in the mists at Niagara, in Soho, London and in the extremes of a Albertan snowstorm.
Mobilizing the immobile to cross hundreds of millions of miles of unforgiving vacuum. Jailer and prisoners, freed but still trapped. Lost lives, limbs and lasers. One ‘Controller’ is one too many. A return to slow-engulfing disaster, belaying delaying the attack, a push for the ultimate relocation.
An air force fighter jet fished from the ocean, close to an empty, cliff-top excavation. A new flyer, a sub reactor, an unfortunate cat. American beryllium, Eliminators, and a new crater in Nevada, an explanation beyond proof, preferable to the truth. Time running out.
Collecting new items: obsidian fragments and a figurine in miniature, one hand-made ring and many, many Macrals.
A new kind of union. Respite, despite near enemies. Friends under false pretenses. An aunt enlightened, a warrior-commander on hold.
Impact (#3) Citadel – a treasured inheritance – Obsidian black, still larger now, yet somehow smaller, out in the open but hidden once again.
Old friendships renewed, bonds stronger than life. Young empowerment in peril. The power of the Medic, rejuvenation and commitment… the morality of curing.
Planetary binocular vision, the power of light and the protective obscurity of a multitude of the smallest water droplets. The power of fur and claw and human frailties (both real and pretended).
The end of the end of one ancient war and the beginning of the next. Two craters – one older than the hills, one newer than the fall-out surrounding it, both mysterious, misleading, mistaken, misused.
Amateur assassins and alien physiology. Frontier Post to Outpost: high stakes and extreme measures.
The cold truth of the Narlavs in the Moon. The warmth of a boki Nical, humming in your arms. A concealed, new-carved cavern and a historic hangar renovated. The vetting of a veteran, company benefits and loyalty.
Submarine power and Narlav technology – a manned return to the Moon, but not to Earth. Lunar marathons and laser messages. Deceptive prisoners and optimum timing.
Clarity in the midst of the storm. Understanding too late and too little. Shifts of moods and allegiances. An aunt on ice, Medic limitations.
Flying drill-bits and water-based reality potions.
Ultimate girl-power, green lasers, smoke/snow and mirrors/screens.
Cavalry (#4) After the discoveries at the conclusion of ‘Impact’, it is only a matter of time before the Narlavs attack…. As the small group of defenders prepare for the battle, they have to deal with extreme weather, desperate survivors, and still search for lost friends and family members. Richard and Karen have to bring disparate forces together, uniting them to maximise the hope that they still have… to survive… and more than that, to win!
