Publisher's summary

Sure, being one of the deadliest assassins in the galaxy had its perks, but even the mightiest warrior could have a bad day. In this case, it was looking to be enough of them to fill an entire calendar.

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. One way or another, he would get to the bottom of the attack and turn the tables on whoever dared strike out at his brothers and sisters.

Or so he thought until someone quite unexpected reared their head. An appearance that gave him pause. Someone he had thought long dead. His former lover. A revelation like that could throw even a master assassin for a loop. That she too was an assassin only complicated things more.

There was far more at play than was apparent on the surface, and Hozark would require all of his wits and skill to get to the bottom of it. And he most surely intended to do just that, no matter how high the body count. He just hoped to do so before more of his kin fell victim to the nefarious plot.

A sci-fantasy adventure across space, with magic, starships, sword battles, treachery, deadly beasts, and, of course, a healthy dose of snark and sarcasm.

Kinda boring

It's a story about a magical space assassin who is also a vampire, he succeeds at everything he does without struggle or difficulty. If he's not already good at something, it takes him about 5 minutes to become a master at it. It's really quite boring and reads like someone's self insert fanfiction. The overall story is fine, but the plot twists aren't very surprising.

Like an old friend telling you a story!

I really liked Eric Moore's style in storytelling and character adaptation. He was consistent throughout and very very easy to listen to. He really just made me feel like I was sitting around a couple of nights worth of campfires listening to this tale he took part in.
Scott Baron wrote an excellent story that is really enjoyable to hear. I imagine I also would have enjoyed reading this series and waiting on the next book to come out. To me it sort of is a mix of Assassins creed and Star wars with the force. Magic is pretty much the explanation for everything including space travel. It is like a sci-fi/action/fantasy you can easily follow and yearn for more. It is 44 hours long, but you can easily break it up into parts to get through the epic. Enjoyed!

Outstanding just outstanding!!!

This has been the best story that I've listened to in a very very long time. I just hope I can find another just as good.

Repetitive

The story line was good but super drug out, like the writer had to fill extra space and make a 5 book series but if he had taken out some the the excruciating detail and repetitive sentences/conversation, it could have been a 3 book series.

The performance was great by the narrator and I was happy with how it ended but it sure took FOREVER to get there.

Good series to read

There are many twists and turns, and more than a few surprises in this series. The author does a fantastic job of character building and you grow fond of each character as they move around the galaxy crisis after crisis.

loved it all

A very good, gritty but somehow still wholesome spinoff to Star wars and Assassin's Creed

a truly marvelous tail

I was unsure when I started this series. Thinking maybe something along the lines of Assassin Creede. However, I was pleased to find a richer cast and whole some storyline. I would highly recommend this story for anyone with a passion for sci-fi.

A perfect blend of Sci-Fi and High Fantasy!

The story encompasses five books and is worth the time invest for sure. I Highly recommend!

Absolutely Wonderful Storytelling

I did not like the story at first, magic instead of technology, but it grew on me!

Good story with ups and downs.

A little slow at time, definitely worth a listen. nothing left to question at the end.
