About this listen
The Dawn Empire’s light is fading. Admiral Ikson Koto has one chance to renew the flame before it is extinguished forever. To save the Empire from a slow death, he must destroy the Federation’s fleet in one fell swoop. His plan calls for a brutality that has never been seen before.
For Lieutenant Shannon Reeve, the horrors of battle still burn strong in her mind. Her posting to a fighter squadron in the paradise of the Federation’s premier base, Azure Anchorage, should be a welcome respite. Instead, she will witness her fears come true as it comes under a relentless assault by Koto’s overwhelming Imperial forces.
Deep in the expanse of space known as the Great Void, a place far from home, civilian engineer Winston Grant has been tasked with upgrading a lonely base’s defences. Soon, he will find himself holding the line in a desperate last stand against an armada.
Both will play their parts in these darkest of days.
The golden age of the Federation will soon end, and instead be engulfed in the raging fire of war as Koto’s grand plan comes to fruition.
Thrilling fighter combat. Brutal infantry battles. Heart-breaking nobility. An epic science fiction retelling of Pearl Harbor and Wake Island. Download now.

Story
As Sir Roger Baron de Tourneville is gathering an army to join King Edward III in the war against France, a most astonishing event occurs: a huge silver ship descends through the sky and lands in a pasture beside the little village of Ansby in North East Lincolnshire. The Wersgorix, whose scouting ship it is, are quite expert at taking conquering planets, and having determined from orbit that this one is suitable, they initiate standard procedure. Their ship carries guided missiles and nuclear weaponry—but they have long since lost the art of hand-to-hand fighting.

Story
When an earthquake strikes downtown Denver, far from the nearest active fault system, the USGS dispatches Dr. Dayna Raines and an emergency response team to investigate. They discover that the epicenter corresponds to a decommissioned deep injection well once used by the U.S. Army to dispose of chemical weapons, which have eroded the earth and created the unstable cavern system responsible for the seismic activity.

Story
Emperor Hazard is Dead! When the Teddy Bears ambush the ship carrying Emperor Hazard to a peace conference in the Zenkarr system, Britannia once again finds itself at war. The Teddy Bears have a plan, but Gathii Kong, now in command of the Imperial Force, doesn’t take the bait. He follows Hazard’s last order to fight smart and foils the Zenkarr Intelligence Minister’s plan to destroy Britannia’s fleet by not charging deeper into the system. But now Kong has the lion by the tail—he can’t follow the enemy fleet into the gravity well, nor can he let them out to terrorize the nearby systems.

Story
Myths and legends. Norse Gods and vikings. Virtual Reality and a man who will show them all the spirit of a true player. To be left without a job, hope, and the love of your life at the age of thirty... Some might say this is equal to social suicide, while others might claim that there is no better time for an adventure. A rundown writer, Anton Smirnov, accepts an invitation from an old friend and dares himself to enter the virtual expanses of turbulent seas and green pastures in search of profit. At first, Gardarika seems like a simple game... until it no longer is. Things take a turn for ...

Story
Conventional wisdom is that if the Crown Colonies of the Commonwealth of New England ever unite in common purpose; then the Empire might fall. That this might happen at the very moment that century-old post-war settlement of the Treaty of Paris is threatening to fall apart, had been the unimaginable nightmare of generations of European monarchs, politicians, diplomats and generals The unthinkable is happening. Mexican troops are advancing through the South Western borderlands of New England; nothing can stop them. At sea, the supposedly invincible Royal Navy has been driven from the ...

Book 4 of The Galactican Series takes place in 2151 in which Roy Stone is charged with the security of 3000 galacticans and 300 space-adapted humans aboard SIS Jonathan Lunine en route to Saturn's moon Enceladus. The ship, 7.5 km loa, is powered by fore and aft mounted Deuterium-3Helium fusion drives enabling her to reach Saturn from CisLuna--a distance of 8.5 AUs--in a mere 279 days using a hyperbolic trajectory. Legacy chemical rockets like Titan IVB/Centaur rocket that carried Cassini-Huygens back in 2004 required nearly seven years with numerous gravity-assisted flybys along the way. ...

A breath of fresh air

I hated Virtual Voice narrating this book. It can’t get pronunciation correct based on context of the sentence. It can’t get the emotion right in a conversation. It would give very cheery responses to sad moments. It didn’t know the cadence of some sentences and made the conversations or action confusing
Virtual Voice is not ready for this kind of thing. If I see Virtual Voice is narrating a book, I will probably skip it. Within the first half an hour of this book, I was ready to stop, but I loved the story so much I continued.
Great combo of history and Sci-fi
