About this listen

Olawale Wombo and a small contingent of Omnians are sent to assist Earth to uplift its technological prowess. With the aid of the incomparable SADEs, advanced tech is transferred to the Sol Enclave, the system’s governing body.

After Sol’s construction of Tridents - Omnian-designed warships - Earthers possess the ability to transit quickly among the stars. The desire to know what happened to Earth’s colony ship, the Honora Belle, sent to the stars a millennium ago is resurrected. An Omnian Trident and the vessel Rêveur accompany three Sol Enclave Tridents in search of the Belle’s colonists.

Swiftly, the Omnians and the Earthers become enmeshed in a centuries-old conflict enveloping a vast area of space inhabited by alliance races. The enemy is the Colony: a giant insectoid species that has arrivied in force to overtake an alliance home world.

Olawale Wombo must decide whether to abide by the expedition’s original purpose or help the embattled alliance races. He asks himself one question: What would Omnian leader Alex Racine do? He knows the answer to that question. Every Omnian knows the answer.

Great Side Story to the Silver Ships

I throughly enjoyed listening to this novel. Since I have long driving periods and I have listened to all the Silver Ships novels this is a great continuation of a side story. Grover Gardner does an excellent job I’m impressed with his voice vocalizations.

A great book series tie in

I love both book series. This tie in was a great way to bring them both together. I'm not going to give any spoilers here just my opinion. I first started with the silver ships series then the pyrean series came out and I was hooked. S. H. Jucha has become one of my favorite authors. You will not go wrong with these two series. I hope you enjoy them as much as I have come to....also by the by lol I have reread both series and this is no lie at least 4 or 5 time. Love them.

Approach without expectations..!

This wonderful story continues with Olawale Wombo & crew 'sailing the black' on an expedition to search for the Honora Belle on orders from Alex. The book is a lot of fun & well worth your time. I'm thankful the author added a message to the end of the previous book, Sojourn, & the beginning of this book. Having foreknowledge that Alex Racine, & other main characters in Alex's orbit, wouldn't play a direct part in the story made it easy to sit back & enjoy, rather than anticipating his arrival. While the knowledge of Alex's absence could easily be gleaned from reading reviews, the author's provided plan for the story made the absence less vexing. Grover Gardner, as always, does a fantastic job bringing the story to life. Having gotten dependent on Gardner's interpretation of this series I'm a bit apprehensive about the next title. Perhaps, approaching SADE's in the same manner Alliance was approached, without expectations, will help.

The amazing Intertwining of two series!

Perhaps unlike some I read the Pyrean series first. It was marvelous and I searched for more books from S.H. Jucha. Here comes the Silver Ships series and I have been listening enraptured for weeks. Alliance is the merging of the two and it is masterfully done. If you have not read the Pyrean series do so before this book. I am hoping this series will go on, it is enthralling, ingenious and so creative! Enjoy!

Alliance could have been named FILLER

The reading of Alliance was bit of dissapointment... almost as if it was a filling of an obligation. Just very low on emotion and strategically predictable. I just didn't feel the Silver Ships freshness and excitement of discovery.
Great recovery expectations is the upcoming SADES release ... GREAT EXPECTATIONS!

Excellent series performed by Grover Gardner

I took the advice to start the Pyrean Series, and although there’s only four books in the series, it’s a definite positive addition to the silver ships series.

Interesting

I have been a fan of the Silver Ship Series. This is book fourteen of the series. It turns out to be a bit different than the other books in the series as our protagonist, Alex Racine, does not appear anywhere in this book. This story is primarily about the Alliance that emerged in the last two books. Captain Cinders is taking a big role as the Assault Commander. There are a lot of new characters in this story. It appears Jucha works into this book the characters from his other series called “The Pyreans”. I am not sure how I feel about this. On one hand it is interesting; but, on the other hand, if I wanted to read about Pyreans, I would buy the books in that series. I want to read about the Silver Ships. I am glad the SADE’S are still in the story; they are my favorite characters.

Of course, the book is well written. I will be continue reading the Silver Ship Series. I am not sure if I will add the other series, “The Pyreans” to my long reading list. I hope the next book gets back to the original Silver Ship story.

The book is thirteen hours and thirty-six minutes. Grover Gardner does an excellent job narrating the book. He has narrated the entire series. Gardner is a well-known award-winning audiobook narrator. He has won the Audi Award, 18 Golden EarPhone Awards and was Publisher’s Weekly’s Audio book “Narrator of the Year” for 2018. He also received AudioFile Magazine’s “Best Voices of the Century” Award.
