This volume contains all three books of The Starborn Uprising series. It has been sixty years since society as we know it was destroyed. People are forced to band together in isolated villages to hide from the predatory greyskins — the once humans that will eat anything that moves. But sometimes, hiding isn’t enough.Nineteen-year-old Mora leaves her grandmother, little brother, and the rest of her village to seek out the man who can offer protection — Jeremiah. Along the way, she meets two brothers, Connor and Aaron who help her discover that she has a new ability within herself — the power of the Starborn. And there are others like her. But these super-humans are on a mission: to kill Jeremiah. They claim that the man who offers protection for everyone is a murderer with dangerous secrets. Mora must now choose between the man who claims he can keep her village safe, and those who can show her who she really is.

I like to tell stories about people who do incredible things when the world is falling apart all around them. Whether EMP, AI, Zombies, or Alien Invasion, any end-of-the-world/dystopian scenario is the perfect setting for unlikely heroes.

Author of the Fallen Earth Series and The Starborn Saga.

follow up to Starborn Ascending 2 book set

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2014

Verified Purchase

Set about 3 score years after the first series this trilogy basically begins the rebellion against Jeremiah's total control of the area. Since it is set in the area about 100 miles or so around the original outbreak this is like a section of a state becoming self reliant. There are a few loose ties not explained from series 1, thus the story has a couple glitches in the timeline too. Not to worry, the books don't have to be read in order to understand the plot and not being one to nitpick continuity I truly enjoyed the series. I could see other writers doing a Hugh Howey Silo treatment as with a world epidemic, each state, nation, and province could have their own struggle story in this post apocalyptic world. With the new "Heroes" style starborn powers, the story lines would be awesome. This trilogy was certainly worth a read.

Pleasantly Surprised

I really enjoyed this series! It was free and I downloaded it not expecting much, but I was hooked from the very first chapter in the very first book. The characters were strong and had very distinct voices, which is great because the plot was confusing at points.
On another note, I was a huge fan of the novel "Divergent" and the sequel that followed, but the disappointment the third installment brought sent me searching for a dystopian/post-apocolyptic romance that would knock my socks off the way Divergent did. It sucked me in the way Divergent did and, actually, I like this series much, MUCH more. The writing was great, if not a little repetitive at times. The third book REALLY dragged out; I feel like it was completely unnecessary, actually. The story could have been told in just two books. There was very little character development between the second and third books.
Tiny Spoiler alert!
The third book, towards the end, there was a particular character who just WOULDN'T DIE! Another character kept attacking and attacking him until it got to the point where I just kept flipping pages saying "oh my god just DIE already!"
Spoiler over!
I give the author major props for writing a story through the eyes of a female character despite the fact that he's a male. As a writer myself, I know how hard it is to get into the head of a character of the opposite sex. Morrow did a great job with that. However, the romance aspect of the novel could have been developed better. I feel like Mora was so wishy-washy and her relationship(s) with Aaron and Conner were too rushed and unbelievable. The reader had to genuine reason to really WANT her to end up with one of them over the other.
But all in all, this book SUCKED me in until it was 5 in the morning and I was so exhausted that I went to school late the next day. I'm a senior in high school and, though the writing was not challenging itself, the plot and content was appropriate for my age. I'm glad I read these novels and will most definitely look for more works by the author.

Excellent Books

I really enjoyed these books and hated to see them end. A virus has turned humans into Greyskins who travel in herds looking for food--humans. In IBook one, a young girl, Mora, leaves home hoping to get help for her village. The village is threatened by illness, lack of food and Greyskins. Protection by Sevdren guards comes at a huge price of most of their crops. Mora finds she can move objects with her mind. She meets Aaron and Conner and falls in love with both of the brothers.
In Book 2, a group goes to Mora's hometown. How the Greyskins started is revealed. They attempt to kill the leader. Mora is bitten.
In Book 3, Mora starts to turn into a Greyskin. But even though ill, she continues to fight with her friends to kill the leader.

Although this is a zombie book it is not just zombie fighting. The story is more about the people who are trying to save the world and how they came together. The story grabs you right from the start and keeps you interested right to the end. The missions are exciting and fun to read. The characters are believable in their situations. I found impossible not to root for them to succeed and could not put the book down until I Was done.

This was a free download with all 3 books. There's rarely free downloads of all three books. So this version is a manmade vaccine created by a crazy person (Jeremiah) who was experimenting on a "starborn" starborns are descendants of half "aliens" and humans. Anyway the starborn he experimented on had immortality. When he gave that person the vaccine it turned him into a zombie and bit Jeremiah. He also had rats in his lab injected with the vaccine and the starborns blood. It turned them to zombies. The rats escaped etc etc. 60 years later Jeremiah has cornered the market on the remaining villages and he provides them with protection from the zombies while them pay him 80% of their production (food, fuel, etc) meanwhile he's searching for a starborn who can heal (they all do something different) starborns don't know about their abilities until a stressful situation forces it out. Anyway there's a resistance they fight etc etc.

Could use editing but I liked it anyway

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2015

I really liked the books and I kept wanting to find out what happened next. The books were prescient in a way, because people in the US have been conditioned to be afraid and already willingly given up many of their freedoms because the government claims to be able to keep them safe--while it's the government itself that people need to be afraid of. The story was allegoric in many ways.

That being said, the books could use some good editing, both in content and grammar. And there was too much introspection, especially toward the latter part of Book 3. I found myself skipping through quite a few pages.

Also, for a dystopian world, too many things existed that weren't believable--a cigarette lighter, trucks and vehicles, gasoline, electricity, sewers, guns and ammunition, two-way radios, helicopters. Nevertheless, the books are, after all, fiction, so the author certainly had literary license to include them in the stories.

Absolutely awesome books, couldn't put them down until I was done. Right up there with my most favourite author, Stephen King.

Have u watched the movies "Resident Evil". Same like that it is a story of world invaded with zombies.

A scientist who was in search of immortality produced a virus which reanimates the dead body and make them zombie.

He uses this invention to overpower the world.

Starborns are persons with different superhuman powers and a team of them fight with Dr. Jeremmiah who has created zombies.

This is exciting, adventurous and heart-breaking. I feel sorry for Aaron but the rest of it was amazing.

It was well thought out and you got a great sense of how each character was feeling and why they were how they were while staying on the side of the main character, Mora. I liked the fact you got the information along with Mora instead of facts being hidden from you: this helped you feel like the character and helped getting you to understand the reasons behind the decisions that were made. My only fault is that everything seems to be tied up nicely with no loose ends. It would be interesting to see a sequel where rebels who hate starborns try to kill her or maybe if the greyskins try and invade where she ends up living and kills her but her baby lives on and takes revenge?
