About this listen

A bloody war has ended in restored peace. The shield of Martian magic guards the stars...two centuries of spell and steel to ward all humanity.

Two years ago, Lieutenant Commander Roslyn Chambers stood witness to the surrender of the last remnants of the Republic. Fueled by atrocity against Mage and mundane alike, the secessionists who waged war against the Protectorate of Mars are finally defeated. Now, a special commission from the Mage-Queen of Mars takes Roslyn deep into the former Republic to hunt the architects of that atrocity. Mages who betrayed their own, the creators of Project Prometheus must be brought to justice. But hidden from even the Republic, Prometheus has woven magic and technology together once more. Here, hidden from all prying eyes, they have created a monster...one that even a Protectorate forged by the spell must call black magic.

Excellent plot

there there 2 other reviews at the time I post this and they where less then great. This book was good it is book 10+ in this universe. The book needed a lot to get possible new people up to speed I was bummed that it jumped so far so quick In the beginning but Montgomery is kinda stuck for 3 years on Mars so it makes sense that we get another powerful main character. I dont recommend this as the first book in the universe but it was another good addition to it.

better then the other reviews give credit

...and my hunch was wrong. It's always fun to see a turn coming but then find out that while there is a turn, you anticipated the wrong turn. Another great story.

I had a hunch...

Narrator is great as usual. Story kept me on the edge of my seat and was borderline too intense. I enjoyed Rosalyn's development into a formidable officer and how her power limits were portrayed.

Really intense

It is good to see Rosalind continue to rise and perform beyond the expectations of her family. This book really sets up the next ones to be written and allows for a transition from the original main characters to new ones. This is a great listen.

Once again Glynn Stewart didn't disappoint with the last installment of the Starship Mage series. Awesome characters, incredible story!

Incredible as always!

I really enjoy this whole series. This book isn't far off from the others, but with a severe lack of page space for the main character (Prince Regent - First Hand- Damien Montgomery), this book felt very lacking as compared to the rest of this series. I understand authors want to develop other characters from their books and give them new life and meaning, but I typically am not a fan of basically a stand alone offshoot that doesn't really progress the main story. This does progress the main story, and is well written, thus 4 stars and not 5. I don't mind Mage Lt. Commander (and now Commander) Chambers being the herione and main character, but she is not my favorite by a long shot. The story revolves around her, and her ability to investigate and contain a situation. As with Damien, she is able to do amazing magic, but unlike Damien her not being a rune wright hampers her.

The book is definitely worth a read/listen if you have enjoyed the others in the series. The last 5 minutes give more clarity on the overall story then the rest of the listen combined.

Good addition to Starship's Mage series, but.....

Glynn Stewart is an outstanding author and worthy of being the next Arthur C Clarke.

Kafer is an outstanding narrator.

I felt that this book did not meet my expectations, no where near the original series, and the story development was chaotic and cumbersome.

Sadly, Disappointed

I enjoy this author and this series. The progression was great.

my complaint was how this storyline compares to somewhat recent events and I wished the storyline had more truth to it then actual events. it is a great story regardless.

Great Addition! Keep Going!
