Publisher's summary
Twenty-five years after our universe nearly succumbed to the very Incarnation of Destruction, and three years after Doctor Damien Howard asked Charlotte Omandi to assemble a crew for Earth’s first starship, Bladerunner, a new adventure has begun.
William Thorne, first born son to the Sentinel and Soulborn of Order, has been offered a critical mission from the unlikeliest of angelic sources. He is to join Captain Omandi as a member of Bladerunner’s crew, and open a portal to the void that separates our universe from others.
Captain Omandi is left with a nearly impossible choice. Accept someone she does not know, but who wields a power that is indistinguishable from magic, into her close knit Bladerunner family, or risk never finding the man she loves, Thomas Rogers, who was lost within the void between worlds.
With her decision made, Charlotte and her crew become argonauts of the void, able to touch countless worlds in as many different universes. However, the same source who tasked William Thorne with his mission, now guides Bladerunner to its initial destination, a planet called Londë, where magic rules, and science is but a dream.
Join Charlotte, William, and the crew of Bladerunner, as they try to unravel Londë’s age-old prophesy that promised to bring Harmony to a war ravaged world. If they are truly the ones who were promised, Bladerunner and all aboard her must first Sail beyond the darkness.
Author’s Note:
While Argonauts of the Void, contains characters and situations first introduced in the Sentinels of Creation and Paradigm 2045 series, listeners can enjoy this series without having listened to either or both the others. That said, for those of you who have previously enjoyed my Sentinels and/or Paradigm series, I hope you are especially pleased to revisit some of your favorite characters.

This is an amazing next chapter to Roberts worlds!
Loved this book! It’s great to see characters, you love from past books, but then yet get to know more about William Thorne. They take off to new worlds in this book to search for lost friends and to help as many along the way as they can. The banter in this story is always top-notch. Thanks to Roberts Brilliant mind and the way he writes. Pick this one up and enjoy! SoC and paradigm have officially collided together!

The Best of Two Worlds
I am a regular visitor to Ross’ website where he provides handy progress bars for each of his books, and have been counting down the days for this release. Let me just say, it was definitely worth the wait. Argonauts is that rarest of things with respect to books these days. A surprise. It is part space opera, part contemporary fantasy, with a dash of steampunk just to spice things up even further. Imagine if writers from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Firefly, and Supernatural were all locked in a room and challenged to make some brilliant hybrid of their three famous shows. Well, that would be To Sail Beyond the Darkness.
Honestly, this book would easily be in my top seven if I had never read anything else Ross had written. However, since I’ve listened to everything the man has published (several times), the subtle nods to past work rockets this up to top three. The thing is, I can’t decide whether it’s more fun to catch those Easter eggs as a reader of Ross’ past work, or if it would be even more fun to start here and then go back into those previous works to slowly reveal what has been. Hopefully this title brings brand new readers to Mr. Ross and they can write reviews from that perspective.
Bottom line, regardless whether you are decades long Ross-fan or this is your first foray into his worlds, To Sail Beyond the Darkness has something for everyone. There’s space battles, ethical challenges, heroic sacrifice, and true love all of which combine to elicit bursts of laughter, copious tears, and more than one sigh of relief.
Quite simply, you can’t go wrong with this story, and I can’t wait to come back to see what other Robert W. Ross fans have to say.
