About this listen

The Imperium has reigned for 4,000 years...but are its days numbered?

For four millennia, the 16 planets of the Imperium sector have served as a bastion of peace against the Chaosic Regions. The Imperium's legacy can be attributed to the formidable military power of the Stratus, the enforcers of the Supreme and the Senate. However, as is often the case with empires, it is the smallest cracks that threaten to shatter their foundations.

Could this be the beginning of the end?

A dishonorably discharged stratusaire struggles to recall why he was expelled from the only life he has ever known. Now working as a mercenary on the sector's most profitable mining planet, he is haunted by mysterious memories. Before long, he finds himself in conflict with the very government he once served.

Can he survive being pursued by those he was once trained alongside?

Simultaneously, the royal heir to a planetary throne is confronted with the harsh realities of her family's rule. As a result of her curiosity, she finds herself entangled in matters of statecraft that surpass her status and experience.

Will she prioritize her family's legacy or the lives of those under her rule?

Step into the captivating universe of Imperium Descent, created by the best-selling and award-winning author Christopher Hopper. Audiences have hailed it as a space opera brimming with engaging characters, intrigue, and thrilling action. Begin your journey with volume one today!

Author's note: Imperium Descent: Volume I is not a stand-alone book, but rather the first installment in an enthralling multi-book series.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Awesome story!

This story was very well written, and Mr. Hopper seems to have found a new talent in narration. I was pleasantly surprised by how much life he gave the story. Very well done.

Quite a surprise!

I bought this audit book at random, intrigued by the snippet written. It was amazing.
The author reading the his own story was quite a delightful surprise! He had different voices for each character displaying not only his written talent but his entertaining talent. The story itself is well thought out. Great world building details along with character growth.
Definitely give this story a try, you will not be disappointed.

Well worth the credit!

Expect the high level of storytelling that you always get from this author. Exciting cliff hanger ending, urrrhh...

For a first time narrator, this is pretty good especially for a full length book.
