Embers of War

By: Gareth L. Powell

Narrated by: Nicol Zanzarella, Amy Landon, Greg Tremblay, Soneela Nankani, Natasha Soudek

From BSFA award-winning author Gareth L. Powell comes the first in a new epic sci-fi trilogy exploring the legacies of war.

The sentient warship Trouble Dog was built for violence, yet following a brutal war, she is disgusted by her role in a genocide. Stripped of her weaponry and seeking to atone, she joins the House of Reclamation, an organization dedicated to rescuing ships in distress. When a civilian ship goes missing in a disputed system, Trouble Dog and her new crew of loners, captained by Sal Konstanz, are sent on a rescue mission.

Meanwhile, light years away, intelligence officer Ashton Childe is tasked with locating the poet, Ona Sudak, who was aboard the missing spaceship. What Childe doesn't know is that Sudak is not the person she appears to be. A straightforward rescue turns into something far more dangerous, as Trouble Dog, Konstanz, and Childe find themselves at the center of a conflict that could engulf the entire galaxy. If she is to save her crew, Trouble Dog is going to have to remember how to fight ...

Narrator inflections stopped me

I could not listen beyond a few minutes simply because of the narrator's upward inflection at the end of each sentence. I have no idea what the story line is, sorry.

love it

I love these kind of books. this was a great story. awesome and interesting

Hound of Difficulty has an exciting life

Clean and tight writing from multiple character perspectives, Embers of War is an easy and engaging read. It was my first Gareth L. Powell, and I look forward to reading more of his books. Works well as a stand-alone book. Worth a read or listen.

Great Book, Poor Audible😞

The story is great but I feel the narrator ruins the story. No excitement in the narration, flat tone, and I had to just get the book to read. Please don't think this is an attack on the narrator. I just don't like her reading style for this story. I love the book and am excited to read the next ones.

one narrators voice is off putting

one of the narrator's has a lilting end to every sentence and sometimes mid sentence. I am not sure if she is trying to play a characters poets voice but after listening for a while I was tempted to skip the parts involving her.
