Stars Reach is a new series set 300 years after the events of the Sun Maker Saga. It begins with Breaking Colossus, a story about a family separated by an intergalactic war.
Roth, the son of legendary war hero is forced to decide between military duty and family honor when his father goes missing on the other side of the universe.

Breaking Colossus is a space opera twist on Homer’s Odyssey where a family is swept up into a galactic war that disturbs the gods and unveils a mystery as old as the universe itself: what lies beyond Stars Reach?

“Matt Wright's Breaking Colossus is a gamechanger of a space opera. Get ready to enter a universe that has it all: characters with fascinating histories and abilities, unconventional romance, political warfare, spiritual exploration, and unprecedented technology. Wright's flair for world-building is matched by his exquisite storytelling, especially in depicting the lengths a son is capable of going to for his own father. The notion that ‘stories can change everything’ surfaces throughout the book; this is one of those stories.”
