Publisher's summary
Across thousands of planets in the Krey Empire, all humans have a single title...Slave.
Born into oppression, Siena is an ordinary young woman, until an act of defiance leaves her scarred and marked as a rebel. She's sold to Ero, a fallen Krey with a desperate plan to redeem his once-powerful family. He intends to enhance slaves by altering their genetic code, increasing their value through an illegal experiment.
Reklin, a bone-armored soldier, hunts them both. His orders come from a mysterious source, but his loyalty to the Empire has no limits. Noble, soldier, and slave, they are about to discover a dangerous truth - that humans can be augmented. But none can predict the abilities they'll unlock, or the rebellion they'll unleash.
Experience this start to an epic space-opera saga from number-one Amazon best-selling author Ben Hale.

Story
In the beginning, the gods destroyed the world. Five hundred years later, things haven’t gotten much better for humans. The demigods that were left behind to guard over humanity have been using them as fodder for an endless civil war between themselves, and the humans just go on dutifully slaughtering each other, battle after battle. It’s not all bad, though. Perry McGown makes his living off those bloody, stinking battlefields. He works on a crew that reclaims all the spent shell casings. But if anyone found out that he was a deserter from the war, he’d be executed for heresy.

Hozark was his name, and he was no ordinary man. He was a Master Ghalian, an assassin skilled in the ways of death. Practical, mechanical, magical, to him it made no difference.

Overall it's a good story...
Initially I had trouble finding my balance listening to the book... it felt flat and very info dumpy, right from the start. Perhaps that's what made it impossible for me to suspend my disbelief, and if you can't manage to do that, it doesn't bode well for the book...
So, I put the book down for a while. When I picked the book up for a second time, somewhat later, I had an epiphany! It wasn't the writer's fault at all. I realized I didn't care for Jay Snyder's performance, his voice is pleasant enough, but I found his delivery rather flat, and that's what had bugged me! The other two narrators were great, btw, and once I figured out what my issue was, I found myself able to sit down and enjoy the story! (Yes, even Jay Snyder's part, after a bit ...)
Over-all I'll give the story ⭐⭐⭐⭐ because I want to follow the action of Sienna, Ero, and Rekin as they face unknown danger!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reba Buhr
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eric Michael Summerer

Absolutely fascinating!
First off, I love Ben Hale’s imagination and beautiful way he writes!
Second, I love how it’s bringing in the back story of Aero and Scorn because I hated them in Jack of Thieves trilogy lol it’s given me a different perspective of the pair and I can’t wait for the next book!!

First of all I am a Ben Hale fan. This is a great start to a series that has promise. I could not wait to go to the next book and I can tell you now I have already pre-purchased the third one. If you enjoy Ben Hale you will enjoy this series. This will be a series that I will purchase as soon as available. So if Ben is listening... keep it going and take my money.

Great sci fi
Awsome book and really interesting characters some that I hated at first and eventually liked towards the end. The explanation of the augments left much to be desired but I'm willing to look past it as long as the series continues with strong characters.

Take the pill
took a couple of hours to get into it, but learning all the weird names was worth the joy of the adventure

Excellent start of new series
Ben Hale is a top tier author and he only adds to that esteem with this new series. While there was slow movement in terms of the human augmentation story arc is concerned, the lengthy backstories of all of the key players involved was critical in establishing them as interesting characters on their own. Book 1 could be considered a lead up to a coming-of-age story arc that leaves no doubt that Book 2 will move the MCs and ancillary characters story-arcs more excitingly forward.
While I'm not usually impressed with multiple narrators, Eric Michael Summerer, Jay Snyder and Reba Buhr performed extremely well at giving their character roles a very realistic and enjoyable performance.
If you like high intrigue fantasy drama, get this book, you won't be disappointed.
