Galaxies collide in a thrilling new series from best-selling author Ian Douglas, as the last humans in the universe face off against a new threat.

The year is 2162. Thirty-eight years after first contact, Lord Commander Grayson St. Clair leads the Tellus Ad Astra on an unprecedented expedition to the Galactic Core, carrying more than a million scientists, diplomats, soldiers, and AIs. Despite his reservations about their alien hosts, St. Clair is deeply committed to his people - especially after they're sucked into a black hole and spat out four billion years in the future.

Civilizations have risen and fallen. The Andromeda Galaxy is drifting into the Milky Way. And Earth is most certainly a distant memory. All that matters now is survival. But as the ship's marines search for allies amid ancient ruins and strange new planetary structures, St. Clair must wrap his mind around an enemy capable of harnessing a weapon of incomprehensible power: space itself.

The idea behind the space traveling was interesting but it kind of went off on tangents that didn't quite relate to what was happening in the story.

A good story . A strong character base. It is just too filled with political opinions and ideology. I understand the authors intent, but I did not find it entertaining. Some may but I will not recommend this book.

Alot of Ideology and politics

Well acted and the storyline really kept me hooked. All around great stuff for sci-fi fans.

Great storyline.

I’m about a quarter of the way into this book through Audible and I really enjoy the actual concept. But I find lacking is the actual narrators tone and Performance is just not right for this. He’s extremely bland. And I find myself not engaging with the story and by attention waning and we having to rewind because his voice is making me go numb. RC Bray would’ve been better.

Narrator Not A Good Fit

Very good book. Recommended for fans of hard science fiction. The narrator is excellent. This is the second book in a series of two.

Really good hard science fiction book

If you enjoyed Ian Douglas' Star Carrier -series, but thought it contained a little too much war and military side of things, this is your book. Focusing more on exploration of the universe, political side of space warfare, and of course aliens with their advanced technologies, Altered Starscape: Andromedan Dark offers the best story and rich universe since the Hyperion Cantos, my favourite book series. Nick Sullivan does an amazing job bringing life to many fascinating characters, and is a joy to listen to. This is a must-listen to the friends of space sci-fi!

Marvelous political/qar Sci-fi

The blandness of the story and attempt to just link science fiction supers structures with info dumps makes it hard to believe this is an established author with many more books to his name.

A waste of time

Absolutely no character development. Only listened to find out what happened next in the story, nothing engaging about the characters at all...

Good Sci fi story but..
