The Battle for Ahora, Volume Two of the 'Quest of the Solar Flower trilogy' (new 2nd Edition), continues the epic gnostic science fiction mega-myth, set 156 years after the Old Earth's Armageddon.
In this middle stage of the Quest, Joe Paz returns to Gaia in the starscout Feh 418 and discovers that his closest ranger allies had long been aware of the Solar Flower legend, the true origin of the Tranquilonians, and that only he and Aubony had been kept in the dark. Returning to planet Ahaia in Universe Three accompanied by Iola Tao in the rhythm-ship Aurora, they find a fleet of Quindi and Void Corsair starships awaiting them, and a major space battle ensues. Later, after three of the four Solar Petals are brought together, Joe is forced to meet face to face with the god of the Quindi's multi-galactic empire, Amafakazata the Silent, whose only desire is to end Creation in entirety, ostensibly to finally end all suffering in the Megalocosmos. But as this meeting is of such vast importance, two angels also attend as just and neutral referees. Following this, Amafakazata makes a bid to seize the Solar Petals, and the Battle for Ahora ensues.
The eBook versions of The Battle For Ahora contains a colour map of Ahora, illustrations of three of the demigods of Atlan-Tao, and Humito Takananda of the Modatsa Sheng-lai. Though these like the cover will appear in greyscale (black and white) on basic Kindle e-readers.
"Quest of the Solar Flower is rewarding, deep, compelling, fun, action-packed, bizarre, erotic, mystical, spiritual and quite excellent indeed. ... there seems to be a resurgence in literature that makes you think. This one is ably augmented by action, sex and stuff that is seriously cool." Jill de Laat, Melrose Books.
