Publisher's summary
"The Golden Brat", Reinhard von Lohengramm, a military prodigy and admiral of the Galactic Empire, has ambitions beyond protecting the borders or even defeating the empire's enemies. He seeks to overthrow the old order and become a truly absolute - yet benevolent - dictator. His rival, the humble Yang Wen-li of the Free Planets Alliance, wishes to preserve democracy even if he must sacrifice his political ideals to defeat the empire. Their political and military battles play out over a galactic chessboard in an epic saga 15 centuries in the making!

Earth has been a scarred ruin for three decades, its scattered people struggling to survive amid the poisoned and radioactive wreckage of the final war between its despotic superpowers. While the people of Earth struggle to survive, out on the frontier, on a thousand worlds, mankind thrives and grows, building new civilizations and looking boldly to the future. But man has never been able to live in peace, and even Earth's sad fate has failed to slow the call to war.

Spacers call the warp point Charon's Ferry. No star ship has ever entered it and returned since a vengeful Orion task force pursued a doomed Terran colonization fleet into it in 2206. Almost a century has passed. The fiery hatreds of a quarter-century of warfare between the Terran Federation and the Zheeerlikou'valkhannaieeee, the cat-like species humans called the "Orions", have eased at least a little.

A mysterious terrorist organisation has carried out several attacks against the Federation and Klingon Empire. Tensions are running high in a region already crippled by conflict. The perpetrators are tracked to the Lembatta Cluster, a mysterious region of space whose inhabitants, the Renao, regard the Alpha Quadrant s powers as little more than conquering tyrants. The Federation are desperate to prevent more bloodshed, and have sent their most powerful warship, the USS Prometheus, into the Cluster to investigate the threat before all-consuming war breaks out.

From the Audie-nominated narrator of The Martian. In eleven years' time, a million members of an alien race will arrive at Earth. Years before they enter orbit, their approach will be announced by the flare of a thousand flames in the sky, their ships' huge engines burning hard to slow them from the vast speeds needed to cross interstellar space. These foreboding lights will shine in our night sky like new stars, getting ever brighter until they outshine even the sun, casting ominous shadows and banishing the night until they suddenly blink out.

They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims. In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector.

As Space Opera as it Gets!
If you like Anime and Space Operas this is the perfect audiobook for you.
I had heard of this anime series before but did not know until recently it had been adapted later into novel form. This is as space opera as science fiction gets in my opinion. Large scale space ship battles, strategy, and political plotting. The first part is sets the stage with a bit of a history lesson but isn't too dry.
The narrator does a great job telling the story. I have had great books ruined by terrible narration. Seriously, whenever I see a book narrated by the author I cringe.

Nothing beats the book
After watching both of the anime series and listing to the book, I have come to the conclusion, like with most adaptations, that nothing beats the book. While the anime adaptations closely follow the book, the added internal dialog that you get with both Yang and Rinehard flesh out the characters more and give you a better feel for who each of them are as characters. In addition, the first chapter really dose a fantastic job at fleshing out the history of the universe so you get a good feel for why things have progressed the way they have. Each of the battles that take place during the novel are riveting and keep me guessing on how it will turn out. In addition, I am interested in seeing the part that Earth will play in the future. The only downside I can see with this franchise is that I don't see any volume past 3 having an audio book. It is disappointing to think that part way through the series I will have to switch to a different medium, but I will cross that bridge once I get to it.

Goofy title, awesome book
I picked this up on the 2 for 1 credit sale on a whim, knowing nothing about it, and thus I ran into the best damn space opera I've ever read (or listened to, I guess). The main characters are both interesting, and their subordinates, minor characters, and others are all generally interesting and have decent motivations. Even for the incredibly skewed motivations of the nobility on the Empire Side, or the politicians on the Alliance side, reasons are given for why they're so screwed up. So far, I cannot get enough of this series, and really hope they license the rest of the series as I will definitely get every book. If you liked the early books in the Honor Harrington series, then check this out.
Also, Tim Gerard Reynolds did his usual awesome narrating job, especially given the sheer number of characters he had to deal with doing different voices for.

If you love Foundation, you will LOVE this gem!
Like Isaac Asimov's Foundation, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is an outstanding science fiction epic. Even though this is only the first book in the series, I eagerly await the next installment!

LotGH is downright great space opera!
If you're looking for galactic scale political and military conflict and 'rise to power' stories revolving around wonderfully charismatic characters, look no further, Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a delight!

Better than the anime
Loved the anime, and the book is even better. it doesn't drag on nearly as bad. My only gripe is the narrator trying to do special voices and accents for every character. It's really cringey. Note to narrators, just read characters in your normal voice.
