Good story, poor reader
As with the Terry Henry Walton Chronicles audiobooks, Kate Rudd is a poor reader for this book. She has issues with foreign languages, even those used in every day life, and her characters “voices” are basically the same across each one. I’m not certain who is speaking sometimes, a male character, a female character, an alien or the narrator. Do yourself a favor and don’t listen to this book if you can help it. Just read it.

Great book and narration
Kate Rudd did a fantastic narration of this book. I used this book as a jumping point to start the bad company series as Valerie’s elites series. So glad I did. This shows how both the main characters of each series got from earth to the stars. Start here, it’s well worth it.

TH and Char are back!
I loved the Nomad series with Terry and Char and have been listening to all the available KGU books in order. I started listening to the Age of Magic books but, although they are good, I was missing TH, Char, BA, Michael etc so I've skipped them for now so I can get my TH fix.
This book is the first in the Age of Expansion and explains how TH and co end up in space and how they join the Bad Company.
It's a great book and, as usual, Kate Rudd does a fantastic job with the narration.
