Hologram (01) by Walker Larson EPUB

In a world of illusions, reality is rebellion.

The Voturans who captured 18-year-old Aaron’s family can make anything they want with the click of a button.
But the things they make aren’t real. They're convincing mirages, mere holograms.
And Aaron is the only person in the world who can tell the difference between a hologram and the real thing.

With only this unique ability and a desperate determination to rescue his missing family, Aaron is adrift in a barren world after the Voturan attack.

But Aaron’s gift of sight makes him valuable to the Voturans, especially the ambitious General Druxa. Druxa hunts Aaron down and enlists him as an officer in his army, submerging him in the luxurious world of the Voturan upper classes and demanding that he help Druxa see through the holographic deceptions of Votura’s enemies.

Amidst the glittering holographic illusions that fill the Voturan capital, Aaron lives a double life. He’s consoled only by his growing friendship with Druxa’s daughter, Antonia, and the slaves assigned to him. To stay alive, he conceals his anger and desire for vengeance, feigning loyalty to Votura and aiding them in their endless wars—even against his own people of Taurus.

His success brings him ever greater power and influence among the Voturans, while in secret he searches for his lost family so he can rescue them from a fate worse than death. But power corrupts, and if Aaron can’t control his flaming anger and phantasmic desire for revenge, the people he loves most will pay the price.

Beautiful and deadly illusions flicker through the skies, insurgents plot under a fiery moon, and the drums of the Temple are beating for the Offering. Will Aaron save his loved ones and himself…and will it cost him his humanity?
