Greetings, travelers. We’re taking a return trip through the Otherworld to land on a future version of Earth that is left worse for wear after the appearance of mighty extraterrestrials called gorgons. In Aaron Ryan’s Dissonance series, we watch as a decimated humanity struggles to survive, and learns that the monsters from beyond our stars aren’t the only ones worth worrying about. Read on to learn more about The Dissonance Series, by Aaron Ryan.
In Aaron Ryan’s Dissonance: Volume I: Reality, the survivors of Earth must acclimate to their new normal. Monsters roam the planet, and they are unlike anything that we’ve ever faced before. With one look, they can establish a psychic link that freezes humans in their tracks, and leaves them as easy prey. But Ryan’s characters are not all such easy marks for the alien invaders. He writes them with wit and determination (and a little bit of luck), and establishes them as worthy adversaries to the formidable gorgons. Across the entirety of the series, the author builds up our broken world into something spectacular, assuring that something new and impressive rises out of the ashes of what was there before—using what preceded it to great effect, but carving a new path nonetheless.
“One look, and it’s all over.” There are some rules you never forget. Above all else, whatever you do, you never look directly at a gorgon. Now, plug your ears… because the war for humanity is all right here in the “Dissonance” volumes. “Reality” debuted 1.1.24. “Reckoning” debuted 3.20.24. “Renegade” will debut 5.18.24.
The aliens invaded our world in the year 2026. They hovered there for three whole months, while the world watched and waited, wondering what they wanted with us. Then, on September 3rd, 2026, they activated, hunting us down with a terrifying power to immobilize us with their telepathy, paralyzing us where we stood, allowing them to eat at their leisure.
Sergeant Cameron Shipley lost everything to the gorgons in that invasion. 16 years later, he and mankind are eking out an existence in the shadows: hiding, trying desperately to survive.
Bestselling author Aaron Ryan crafts harrowing tales of epic tension, set amidst a gritty post-apocalyptic Earth, in this bestselling alien invasion military thriller series.
Readers of the “Alien Invasion” series by Johnny B. Truant and Sean Platt, the “Heartland Aliens” series by Joshua James, “The Hunger Games” trilogy by Suzanne Collins, and the “Legend” series by Marie Lu will appreciate this post-apocalyptic aliens thriller.
Whether readers are looking for a resistance against an alien invasion, or an inward look at the kind of monsters that were here before the gorgons arrived, Ryan has them covered. The author starts with the warring emotions of hope and dread, and expands on the ethos of the story by pitting parts of humanity against one another. Fans will find characters to root for, monsters to fear, and a new world to witness as it begins to build up from the shattered pieces of the past. If that sounds like it is something you’ve been waiting for, don’t wait. Start your journey into the Dissonance series with the first book, Dissonance: Volume I: Reality.
