Humanity’s First Interstellar Exploration

Ensign Maya Davis has had her sights set on the captaincy of a starship since she launched her first toy rocket into Earth orbit as a child. After four years of study at the new Interstellar Expeditionary Force Academy, Maya achieves her lifelong dream of exploring the stars. She earns a commission aboard humanity's first deep space exploration vessel, New Horizons.

˃˃˃ A Desperate Situation

Not long after New Horizons departs the solar system, sabotage cripples the ship killing a third of the crew and stranding the expedition light years from home under the siege of hostile forces. Only junior officers are left to command the ship. Without knowing who she can trust, Maya must risk her life to get the crew home and prevent the genocide of the very exospecies New Horizons set out to contact.

˃˃˃ The Conspiracy Back Home

Forty-two-year-old civilian flight instructor Brooke Davis, Maya's aunt and former UN Aerospace Defense pilot, receives a disturbing visit from a covert operative. The visit prompts Brooke to head to the Martian south polar ocean, where she learns how a secret society known as The Vril manipulated the current political and social climate into being. She also uncovers the society's nefarious agenda regarding New Horizons' voyage. With time running out, Brooke races to save her niece light years away.

Underground Book Reviews
This book did exactly what it set out to do, with originality, style, and maybe even a twist. It stands out next to popular, traditionally published novels in its genre. The result is a space adventure young and old alike can get their teeth into, with great ideas, likeable heroes and a plot that doesn't stand still. If you're a fan of authors like Peter F. Hamilton, or any science fiction that remembers to balance the futuristic with fun, you'll find this story very easy to get into. 5 Stars (out of 5): Highly recommended.

Lit Amri (Readers' Favorite)
Spry gives readers of theseries another intricate and intriguing plot laced with conspiracy. Thequality of the world-building is maintained and vividly described; theaction scenes are as thrilling as its predecessor. Simply put, this is a great follow-up to Book 1 (5/5 stars).

From the Author

While starting with Beyond Cloud Nine (Beyond Saga Book 1) is the preferred approach for most readers, quite a few people have enjoyed Beyond the Horizon (Beyond Saga Book 2) without reading the first novel in the series. I write all my books such that each can be read as a standalone.

Here I am, could get a free copy of the second book as well "Beyond the Horizon" by Greg Spry but messed it up, again.
So i decided to buy it as well, since i had to know how it would go on.

Whoa, was I happy to do so, again.

Loving sci-fi anyway, I enjoyed the book, as i did for the first one, from cover to cover.

I won't tell more about the book, others have done that. You have to get the book to find out all about Brooke, the champion pilot and her nice Maya. Both now, diligently try to save the world. and in the middle of it all, first contact with amazing, intelligent aliens. Will they succeed?

A pleasure to read. Though I have not read book one, the story is easy to follow and to get entangled in the multiple sub plots. Good guys who are just waiting for the right moment to show who they really are. Bad guys who are waiting for those same moments to save the day! Read at your own risk, because it will draw you in!

5.0 out of 5 stars Too fused!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2017

After reading "Beyond Cloud Nine", Greg Spry's first book in this series, I was left wondering what was going to happen next with the characters and their situations and relationships. I also had a level of expectation for any following books.

"Beyond the Horizon", the second book in the series, did not disappoint. I found it to be compelling, imaginative, and immersive. There were plenty of plot twists and political intrigues to satisfy, at least until the next book in the series. The characters all have real faults and failings and they come through very well in the reading. Two words sum it up nicely..."too fused!"

I enjoyed the book but,,, I could only give it three stars. It seemed as if the story telling got in the way of the story too often. By that I mean the story would get rolling and, side tracked to tell me about something. It made for a very uneven pace never really allowing the reader to get fully engaged.

Well written Sci-fi space opera. Alien species, massive internal conspiracy, heroes supressed, and whole slew of solar system spanning transport. Colonies on planets and moons though out the system are only a step away. Yet a cry for help from a helpless alien species, causes the human race to embark on an intergalactic rescue mission.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond The Horizon - a great read.
Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

A great book about spaceflight to other star systems to spread humanity from Earth. As good as Star Trek was in the early days, mankind's fight to protect friendly aliens from another dangerous alien race, and the sacrifices they made. Many plot twists and turns kept me interested and on the edge of my seat. A book that is hard to put down until the end.

Just as action-packed as the first book in the series, this story greatly expands the universe with tons of new characters and an entire new species of alien. The conspiracy deepens...looking forward to the next installment in the series!

3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks the Human Touch.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 1, 2016

My favourite series Jack Campbell's Lost Fleet includes not only great 'technical' information which makes it believable but also human emotion which makes you want the hero to win. You can imagine yourselves in Black Jacks shoes. While the technical aspects were comparable and present in BTH I’m afraid the human factor was missing.

Beyond the Horizon is technically good, showing a vast amount of research and effort which certainly makes the plot solid. However upon reading it I found it hard to care about finishing it. The books starts years after the close of the first book and I found it difficult to connect with the main character who at times I wanted to slap silly and didn't care if she died.

BTH includes time travel which always makes me nervous. The final part of the story does provide some emotional pull which would have been better at the beginning and then built on.

I was disappointed as Beyond Cloud Nine was a solid hit and I was eagerly awaiting the next instalment. After reading it I have lost my hunger for the next instalment but will pick it up if cheap.

3.0 out of 5 stars "Beyond the Horizon" felt like a much longer book than "Beyond Cloud Nine"

"Beyond the Horizon" felt like a much longer book than "Beyond Cloud Nine". Although there is plenty of action, some parts really dragged for me. I also found the characters to be a little bit hollow.
Despite that though, it's a good read (and the second book in a series always has a lot to live up to when you enjoyed the first!).
