About this listen

One thousand years after Earth was destroyed in an unprovoked attack, humanity has emerged victorious from a series of terrible wars to assure its place in the galaxy. But during celebrations on humanity’s new homeworld, the legendary Captain Pantillo of the battle carrier Phoenix is court-martialed then killed, and his deputy, Lieutenant Commander Erik Debogande, the heir to humanity’s most powerful industrial family, is framed for his murder. Assisted by Phoenix’s marine commander Trace Thakur, Erik and Phoenix are forced to go on the run as they seek to unravel the conspiracy behind their captain’s demise, pursued to the death by their own fleet. What they discover about the truth behind the wars and the nature of humanity’s ancient alien allies will shake the sentient galaxy to its core.

Well at last a really complex, intelligent and compelling Science Fiction story. This first volume is a great introduction to this outstanding series. Fascinating world building, strong characters and a fast moving narrative. Wonderfully narrated too.
Joel’s Sasha series is also fabulous if you want a similarly compelling fantasy option.

Outstanding
