Explorer
There’s an entire galaxy out there, and Steve’s already started a war with some of it…
Steve and his companions have been offered a chance, the slimmest of hopes, that the UC—whatever that is—will protect the earth.
But that protection, offered as it is with the full knowledge that it could embroil billions in a new war? It’s never going to come cheap.
The UC wants something, and it’s down to Steve to figure out how to pay that debt, or survive without their sheltering hand.
The greater galaxy is a harsh place, and in the eyes of those that battle to keep the flame of freedom alive another day, anyone that would give up their freedom to gain a little security?
In the galaxy’s eyes, they’d deserve neither.
Jez Cajiao
Jez Cajiao's journey to becoming a full-time author is as unexpected and adventurous as the stories he now tells. Born in 1980 in Hartlepool, UK, Jez’s early life didn’t follow the traditional path that one might expect for a writer. Instead, he found himself working in his family’s catering business from the age of 11, and later, trying his hand at a variety of other careers—from bar work in Greece to welding. It wasn’t until a series of health challenges forced a career shift that Jez discovered his true calling: writing.
Arise
In a world where myth bleeds into machinery, where werewolves and nanites share the same pulse, one man stands on the edge of something vast and terrible. The Arise series by Jez Cajiao begins with a single broken soldier, Steve, whose body and soul are rebuilt by forces that blur the line between science and the divine. What starts as survival quickly unravels into revelation, exposing the truth that humanity was never the apex of creation but a weapon built for someone else’s war.
Arise consists of six books — considered a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
