About this listen
Civil War tore across the Union Empire, leaving countless dead in its wake.
It was a war started by one man once beloved by the Empire. His betrayal still lingers in the memory of those who lived through it.
Decades later, his son, Felix Drake, is a Warden tasked with both protecting the ruling members of the Union Empire and its Council and bringing those powerful and influential people to justice should they break the law.
Drake protects the very Empire his father sought to destroy.
When two members of a Council family are murdered, Drake and his team investigate, only to uncover corruption, resentment, and yet more death.
As the case deepens, Drake is forced back into a life he'd left long ago, bringing with it the same disdain and anger from the very people he's sworn to protect.
However, he's no longer a helpless child, and the people who try to intimidate him now are about to discover that Drake is so very much his father's son.

Story
Lucas Rurik used to be part of the Raven Guild. That is, until someone murdered all of its members—except for him. That was seven years ago. Now, Lucas keeps to himself, avoiding getting too close to anyone lest they become targets themselves. But when one of his oldest friends at the Rift-Crime Unit calls upon him for help with a case that’s already taken down people who mean a lot to him, Lucas can’t resist stepping back into the fray. Something is killing FBI and RCU agents alike—something unlike anything Lucas has ever seen before, on Earth or in the Rift.

Chase had it all planned out. Do a little time in one of the emperor's jails, say a four-year stretch, for getting rid of some trash that no one would miss, and when he got out, the path to leadership would be wide open. Unfortunately, his bastard of a father, the same one who left his mother to die in poverty and him to run wild on the streets, took an interest. Seeing him sitting on the bench when his case went to court was a shock. But not as big a shock as being sentenced to ten years in the Imperial Navy.

Though I'm part of the most powerful family in Elantio, I failed to produce mana on my Manifestation day. Thus, I was relegated to the most shameful place for someone of my status: the Archives. What may have seemed like a sentence truly was a blessing in disguise. I may be a mule—one with the blood of a sorcerer yet unable to channel any magic—but what I lack in raw power I make up for with my tenacity. It's in those Archives that I searched and searched for a way to bypass my curse. Now, after years of study and browsing through hundreds of books, I may have found a solution.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Lucas Rurik used to be part of the Raven Guild. That is, until someone murdered all of its members—except for him. That was seven years ago. Now, Lucas keeps to himself, avoiding getting too close to anyone lest they become targets themselves. But when one of his oldest friends at the Rift-Crime Unit calls upon him for help with a case that’s already taken down people who mean a lot to him, Lucas can’t resist stepping back into the fray. Something is killing FBI and RCU agents alike—something unlike anything Lucas has ever seen before, on Earth or in the Rift.

On the African savanna, the male lion is the lord who watches over his family, while the females of the clan do the real work. Joel “The Lyon” Lyons thought that owning a mercenary company would be similar—he could sit back and allow the Lyoness to run the Pride. Everything would go well, money from successfully completed contracts would flow like water into his bank accounts, and everything would be as easy as it had been for him when he’d owned a chain of highly successful restaurants.

Tomorrow, the funk descends on Manhattan, a noxious cloud that separates the island from the rest of the world and mutates the population. Some generations on, the surviving population exists amid the rubble of modernity, wearing our cast-off clothing, worshipping celebrities as dim gods, and using emojis in place of written language. The Island exists in a state of uneasy peace, with each neighborhood an independent fiefdom, protecting itself with scrap metal spears and Molotov cocktails.

I struggled every day, looking to put something on the table, but it was my life, and no one had a right to take it. Especially not Eris Lanyer, lord of the city, the very same who was supposed to keep people such as myself safe! The nobleman killed me without a second thought for the sole purpose of testing the blade he had just acquired! So here I am, burning with such a rage at this flagrant lack of justice. My hate is so immense that I'm unable to pass to the afterlife, and so I return as a Revenant.

Bok is the Best Synth
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It takes place 10,000 years after humans have left the Earth and it has an interesting mix of bioengineering, cybernetic augmentation, aliens, and ether manipulation. There are warriors in armor with swords, and others with high tech weapons, synthetic guardians, and telepaths. The banter between the teammates was fun. I liked that the novel followed two paths at first, following a mercenary group and a warden in their separate roles, and then they came together and worked well as a team. Having two teams plus the peripheral characters they interact with makes for a lot of people to keep track of in audio book form, so I did have trouble keeping track of who was who at first. When I got to the third chapter I rewound back to the start of the book and relistened to the first chapters, and after that it all made a lot more sense! I appreciated the way the story's investigation followed a natural path, with the characters starting their investigation of murders, then working their way up the organization from the thugs to the middlemen to the leader.
I really liked Bok (spelling?), the dedicated and deadly synth who really wanted to decorate the house because he was bored. He was awesome! I wanted Councilor Gusen to die pretty quickly after meeting him, and Sabas was a glaringly blatant caricature of evil who enjoyed hurting people.
Reynolds was great as usual, though there were some times when it felt like he wasn't really putting his best into the reading. He's a fantastic narrator, so it felt off when he'd read lines such as: ""Throat was slit," Etomas said sadly." But the line may have been, "I like cheese," Fred said blandly." for all the emotion in his voice.
I'm looking forward to continuing this series!

Fantastic performance!
have to start off by saying I listened to this book, and I adore audiobooks. I absolutely LOVED the narrator - Tim Gerard Reynolds - and would happily listen to anything he has to read! His voice was just nice to listen to!
This book, however, is not a book I should have listened to. It required a lot of concentration and I got lost in the people and places. I am still not quite sure who everyone was, but I do know I loved Felix Drake. I'm glad I listened to it, as I have been dying to read it for a while. I haven't a scooby of everything that was going on, but I have to say I still really enjoyed it. Bokk was a great character, but it was Felix who stole these how for me. I am going to re-read this one definitely before book 2 comes out as this is such an exciting series. I know it sounds like I am contradicting myself as I don't 100% know the details but I got the gist of what was going on, and I enjoyed it. So much to unpack. That's why I need to give it all my attention next time because I can just tell it's going to be a fav of mine.
I love McHugh's writing! He won me over when I read Those Who Dwell in Darkness and I loved the writing in this. It's the details, there is much detail, and I fear I lost that by listening. The combination of McHugh and Reynolds is spectacular, it's me who was selfish and didn't concentrate.
I loved the banter within the team and the new addition at the end, I can see that is going to be a fun partnership. The world-building is just magic, and I could see the chase for the sniper when we had the panic with Hideo. I could picture the room and everything going on so perfectly, even all the technology that was introduced - some sound fun!!
I am definitely looking forward to the next book - but I think I will do it the justice it deserves and read it!

Narration was the only good part
The story was convoluted, I didn't care at all about any of the characters because they weren't developed enough. Just really boring overall. Love TGR, he's the only thing that saved the book.
