Jace Seren has been assigned his next task for the Dark Between Stars: visiting a rogue planet that was flung out of its orbit millennia past. Many Complexes await completion—promising Stardust, Boons, and danger. Jace will come up against many threats; Black Hole Conclave cultists seeking to drive the world into oblivion, Astral Demons from a different layer of reality who seek his destruction, and mercenaries chasing the bounty placed upon his head by the leader of the Nebula Alliance.

He gets to choose a Cosmic Power and a Class. A path to ascension. A way to bring his sister back.

All the matter and light we can see in the universe makes up a trivial five per cent of everything. The rest is hidden. This could be the biggest puzzle that science has ever faced. Since the 1970s, astronomers have been aware that galaxies have far too little matter in them to account for the way they spin around: they should fly apart, but something concealed holds them together. That ’something' is dark matter - invisible material in five times the quantity of the familiar stuff of stars and planets.

Written by Wayne Liquorman with characteristic humor, irreverence, and profound insight, this audiobook provides a bold new look at the nature of existence. If one wants to remain in the moment, what does one do about the mind? Never mind! The mind does what the mind does. It is working and functioning perfectly, doing exactly what it has been designed and programmed to do. The audiobook hammers away at the basic misconceptions that bring about human suffering - I could have and should have done it differently, I am flawed, I am the author of my thoughts, feelings, and actions.

Mind over Matter is not a textbook on self-discipline, nor is it a gentle and drawn-out discussion. It is a toolbox to keep you in motion and in action towards your goals. It pulls no punches as it provides direct techniques to ensure that your actions match your intentions - a difficult task.
