About this listen
A nationalist uprising triggers an interstellar wrest for control in an epic novel of embattled worlds by the author of Citadel and the Frontlines series.
POW Aden Jansen has lost a decade of his life to both the war and internment when he’s recruited by the Alliance. He’s to return to Gretia as an undercover Blackguard operative and destroy Odin’s Wolves—an insurgency that’s setting his home world afire. The mission comes with a full pardon and a chance to reclaim his identity. It also means rejoining his friends and family in space. That’s motive enough. If he can succeed—and survive.
Dunstan Park is on piracy patrol to track down the spaceborne arm of the uprising. Meanwhile, the rebels’ insidious terrorist cells are targets for battle-hardened insurgent hunter Idina Chaudhary and her Palladian commandos. As for Aden’s sister, Solveig, she’s put herself in the line of fire before, but discovering who’s bankrolling Odin’s Wolves is as dangerous as it is personal.
As Aden works his way back into the confidence of his comrades, the stealth campaign to sow discontent descends into chaos. At risk: Aden’s legacy, and the very stability of a galaxy struggling for peace against all odds.

“Descent is an action packed science fiction adventure that is a 'must' for the growing legions of Marko Kloos fans. A fun read from cover to cover…” —Midwest Book Review
I am a big fan of Marlo Kloos’ other series (Frontlines) which are narrated by the incredible Luke Daniels, as was the first book in this series.
I imagine that Marlo Kloos is just as disappointed as us listeners that the narrator has changed for all four books now, but honestly the quality just keeps going downhill.
This narrator was simply impossible for me to continue with. His natural speech pattern is incredibly monotone, to the point that I found myself needing to rewind every few minutes because I had tuned out. His character voices are barely distinguishable from his speaking voice, let alone each other, which only contributed to the difficulty in trying to absorb the story.
I like this series well enough that I’ll get the kindle version and read it instead, but it’s still disappointing as I was very keen to listen to this during my long work commute. I hope that if a fifth book gets published, the narrator is changed again.
