STAR NATIONS: IMMARU - REBIRTH (1) (BOOK I)

In the grand cosmos of space, Galactic University houses the brightest minds of our future, as Earth makes her rightful place among the stars.

Immaru, a talented pilot, is in her final year attending University with her friend Hadar, a Centurion-Human Hybrid. The Council, our galaxies governing body, makes a rare announcement that they are selecting three students to join a Star Nation - a nation of beings that live among our stars. Such as, the Venusians - Venus, Centurion - Centaurus, and many more.

Only thirty-three students are shortlisted for the intensive training program. Students face sabre-toothed hybrids in the Arctic, run through simulations that trigger real-time pain and enter the Yeti - an artificial intelligence device that transmutes their consciousness into a virtual reality game. Immaru is paired with Iris, a strikingly beautiful bio-tech prodigy. The two hit it off after a rocky start, but the chemistry between them is undeniable.

During the pressures of training, Immaru reluctantly reveals her gift. She was told dreadful stories as a child, by her Father, that those who harnessed such gifts went mysteriously missing. And they did. It wasn't until she was befriended by the Professor, the Dean of the Imagination Department, that she begins to restore the power of her gifts.

The Professor mentors her through a series of out-of-worldly events on how to hone and focus her powers. She questions his keen interest in helping her as he finally divulges that she is being groomed for something, that the survival of all Star Nations depends on her.
