About this listen

While light may burn for a moment, the darkness will be there when it dies.

In the aftermath of Moldark's death and Soldark's creation, Magnus, Awen, and the rest of the Gladio Umbra must follow the sinister warlord back through the quantum tunnel into metaspace. Questions swirl around the enemy's ultimate intentions, as do the fates of those bound to serve the malevolent leader.

What awaits the gladias, however, may prove to be more than they can handle. An otherworldly amalgamation of the Paragon's goals and the Luma's powers, Soldark gathers his forces for a final showdown against those who would thwart his plans. He summons both the living and the dead, assured that nothing will be able to stop him from having his day of vengeance.

Will the gladias be able to put a stop to Soldark's relentless rise to power? Or will the galaxy finally fall victim to the greatest destruction ever unleashed on sentient species?

Discover the harrowing end to the critically acclaimed series from Christopher Hopper and USA Today bestselling author J.N. Chaney.

A great conclusion to a great series the final two books were even better than the great beginning.

Brilliant Finish

Reasonable conclusion to the series.
CR Grant had big shoes to fill after RC Bray but I have to say, he did a pretty good job in the last two books (although his Scottish accent morphed into Irish on occasion :) I can certainly recommend a listen to the complete series if you're a die hard Soap Opera fan!

Good Final Episode

All nine books of this series has been fantastic. Each book has seamlessly integrated with the next. The characters old and new have been meticulously thought out and transferred to paper.
The last two chapters were wonderful as they very neatly tied up all the characters and the story.
Well done Chaney, Hopper and C.R Grant

The best ride ever!
