Anthros Galactica is a science fiction series narrated across multiple books. Book two of the series is called Higher Worlds (First Edition). The series is a space opera about our humanity's long forgotten past in the Milky Way Galaxy which arose out of several highly advanced extraterrestrial civilizations from a number of star systems in the early galaxy. The second book continues the story of two ancient long-forgotten civilizations, the Orion Empire in the constellation of Orion and the Omicron Order in the constellation of Scorpius. Both civilizations had competing visions for how intelligent life should evolve and unfold throughout the galaxy. Amidst the great struggle already growing between these two cosmic adversaries, a strange anomaly has been discovered deep under the Permian Ocean on Planet Artep, one of Orion’s terrestrial worlds in the Bellatrix star system. Little do people know that what awaits on the other side of this anomaly will change the course of the cosmic war. Erik P. Antoni, using his knowledge of the ancient mysteries, presents an epic tale which compels the reader to stop and reconsider humanity’s place in the universe and to question the very purpose of human existence."
