Publisher's summary
The music on the radio suddenly stopped. The announcer came on. "We are bringing you breaking news. Large flying ships have come from behind the moon, out of the sky, and are dislodging black clad warriors who are attacking...."
The invasion had begun. A backward society found itself at war against an advanced, space-traveling race. The fighting would envelop the whole society tearing nations and families apart.
Pethran and his two sons struggle with a new reality not of their making. One son fights the aliens, the other is captured and forced into the galactic navy. The father struggles to carry life on without them. This is truly the end of the innocent.

It seemed the unthinkable had happened. Someone had actually targeted the Ghalian, an order of assassins known and feared across the systems. It was madness. Only a fool would go after the likes of them. But, it seemed, the galaxy had no shortage of fools. Retaliation most bloody was in order, and one man stood ready to spring into action. 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.

Maybe it’s not the ship at all but the crew. They hold the key. Drake rallies old and young alike to comply with orders so secret even he wasn’t allowed to see them until after the ship left the junkyard. Would it leave? That was another question. The core hadn’t been fired in twenty years.

Five centuries from now, on a remarkably Earthlike planet that is mankind's sole colony in space, religious fanatics called the "Salafi Ikhwan" have murdered the uncle of former colonel Patrick Hennessey. That was their first mistake, because uncle was rich and Hennessey was rather a good colonel. But they also murdered Hennessey's wife, Linda, and their three small children, and that was their worst mistake for she was the only restraint Hennessey had ever accepted.

Story
The Galactic Empire is dying and chaos and anarchy are breaking out everywhere. After a disastrous mission against terrorists on Earth itself, Captain Edward Stalker of the Terran Marine Corps makes the mistake of speaking truth to power, telling one of the most powerful men in the Empire a few home truths. As a result, Captain Stalker and his men are unceremoniously exiled to Avalon, a world right on the Rim of the Empire. It should have been an easy posting...

In April 1945, the Allies are charging toward Berlin from the west, the Russians from the east. For Hitler, the situation is hopeless. But at this turning point in history, another war is about to explode. To win World War II, the Allies dealt with the devil. Joseph Stalin helped FDR, Churchill, and Truman crush Hitler. But what if "Uncle Joe" had given in to his desire to possess Germany and all of Europe? In this stunning novel, Robert Conroy picks up the history of the war just as American troops cross the Elbe into Germany. Then Stalin slams them with the brute force of his enormous Soviet army.

Here is the astonishing, never-before-told story of the greatest rescue mission of World War II: when the OSS set out to recover more than 500 airmen trapped behind enemy lines. During a bombing campaign, hundreds of American airmen were shot down in Nazi-occupied Yugoslavia. Local Serbian villagers risked their own lives to give refuge to the soldiers, and for months the airmen lived in hiding, waiting for rescue.

Space epic version of the Roman Empire
The story is reminiscent of the Roman empire. The empire spans the galaxy The emperor is on his deathbed there is no clear heir. Now in the outer reaches the empire has invaded yet another planet. This time they run up against a very stubborn group. Epic battle is in ground, epic space battles and all told from a gritty front row view. Very well written and well narrated.

Interesting world building
With very interesting world (and Empire) building, this short novel could have been the start of a great series. Instead, it is the story of how one family is changed by the invasion of a galactic empire. This novel has some well drawn characters, many good and bad guys, lots of action, and a depth of thought for such a short novel. I hope Graham writes more novels set in this universe. Finally, I thought David George did an excellent job differentiating the many characters in this story

Two great themes (coming together
Two great themes (lost of innocence) and (coming of age) meet sci-fi. Great performance with character voicings. The story plot keep me wondering what would happen to the characters.

A must for Space Opera fans
First to get it out of the way, "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review."
That being said, this is a great shorter space opera that made my commute to and from work something to look forward to.
If you like Eric Frank Russel or other authors of that era then this story is for you.
End of the Innocent is a story that could easily fit into Analog Magazine of the 1960's.
David George as the narrator is a perfect fit to this story.

Good Attempt at a Space Opera
Good first story in the Galactic War Series. Most of the story revolves around a family dealing with the invasion of an alien species.
Many of the people in the story have euphemisms of English speakers. I wish the author did more world building around the different cultures, instead of giving the different aliens the culture of humans from different eras.

Felt like listening to an old time radio show
The End of The Innocent was interesting in that it started out like listening to an old time radio show or broadcast. I don't think this was intentional. The facts of the case of an alien invasion were laid out and the coverage continued throughout the war and peacetime. There is a story in there about a family who is torn apart and then reunited through the war. The story takes place over a very long time and focuses a lot of the exposition on how things are, both on world and off, in the great galactic empire.
As the story moves forward, the personal story of the family begins to take the forefront of the narrative and it becomes more personal.
All this said, it is worth a listen. the story itself is good and creative. the lives lived throughout the story are interesting and you find yourself wanting to know what is going to happen to this family. it pulls you in.
