Publisher's summary

The descendant of history’s most infamous soldiers will inherit his ancestor’s war.

Frustrated by restrictive rules, maverick warship commander, Dalton Reeves, has crossed the line one time too many. Disciplined for violating orders, Reeves is packed off to “The Abyss”–a dangerous and isolated space city named Concord Station, and officially the worst assignment in the galaxy.

Built to foster diplomacy between the six galactic realms, Concord is now nothing but a debauched, corrupt hellhole infested by crime lords, degenerates and outright failures. It’s also Commander Reeves’ last chance to do something significant with his life.

Amidst escalating interstellar tensions, a long-forgotten enemy emerges from the mysterious Shadow Space to threaten war. Events are quickly set in motion that will propel Concord Station from obscurity to the most strategically important outpost in the galaxy.

But as the secret of Reeves’ dark origin is revealed, he’s thrust into the center of the conflict in more ways than one. Dalton Reeves is a descendant of war, but he’s not the only one.

The ancient enemy not only seeks conquest, but to exact vengeance upon the sole descendant of two infamous soldiers that annihilated the alien’s homeworld a millennium ago.

With the six realms on the brink of all-out war, can Commander Reeves face both his demons and his bitter rivals to become the warrior and the leader the galaxy desperately needs him to be?

Descendants of War is a new sci-fi action-adventure series set in a vivid, multi-species universe. It’s filled with danger, intrigue, and drama played out against the tense backdrop of a looming war versus an ancient and bitter enemy. If you like Babylon 5 and Deep Space 9, this could be the series you’ve been waiting for.

Great story for yard work listening...

Got a copy of this book for free and am objectively reviewing. I listen to all kinds of genre's as I do the yardwork, most but not all are sci fi related. This story was great for me, kept my attention without demanding it every second, and kept moving. Looking for more by Ogden. Thanks!

An exciting Sci-fi action-adventure series!

G. J. Ogden did a fantastic job with this sci-fi action-adventure series and the blurb is spot on! I was hooked from the very beginning! The story is filled with action, danger, with a space opera feel. If you enjoyed any of the big name traditional sci-fi stories/shows, you'll absolutely love this book! I look forward to book 2 in the series. Audio Version: Doug Tisdale Jr. did a great job with this title. The characters and narration were spot on.

Exhilarating Space Opera!

This is the first book in a new exciting, action-packed series which takes place 1000 years after the previous Omega Taskforce series (which I thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend!). The characters are well-developed and attention-grabbing. I particularly enjoyed the camaraderie and humor shared between the captain and first officer. The plot is filled with action, space battles, combat, suspense, mystery and betrayal. The locations and worlds are easy to visualize with the descriptive world building imagery. The narrator's performance was quite entertaining; he provided each character with a unique distinctive voice. I look forward to listening to and/or reading the next book in this series. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request, and I voluntarily leave this unbiased review.

awsome

I loved everything about this book.
And i can't wait to ear more about Ambassador One.

Interesting

This was my first book by G. J. Ogden. Interesting story and writing. Narration added to the book as I think it would have been a different story with a different narrator

Good first entry.

This is a good first entry in a series and can’t wait to see where the story goes.

not for me

I was given this book for free from audiobook boom and asked to leave an unbiased review for the author and narrator.
First I’ll say I think the narrator has a pleasant voice, I enjoy audiobooks more when the narrator injects appropriate emotion, changes their voice based on character changes etc rather than just reading the book and unfortunately he did not do this.
I will also say I’m not really into space odyssey type books so they need to have a real story behind them to keep my interest. I thought this book was boring and I just couldn’t get into it.
