Empire Reborn

Blood on the Stars, Book 18

By: Jay Allan

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

The final book in the Blood on the Stars series...

The human powers have been pushed to the brink, battered, and almost destroyed. The virus they have invented and deployed, their sole possibility for victory, seems to be too little, too late. Its usage has only spurred the enemy to quicker action, to finish the war before they have to deal with its effects.

But the humans do not know that the Highborn are faced on another front, by a race they know little about but have battled for two centuries. The Highborn have decided to try to end that war, too, to lash out with all of their forces to eradicate the enemy, and to impose peace onto the galaxy...the peace of their own, undisputed rule.

As the Highborn begin to lash out on both fronts, to complete the victory they believe is theirs, both of their foes dig in, bringing forward everything they can, fighting with all both sides have to defeat the Highborn, to secure freedom in the galaxy. There is titanic warfare all around space, massive fleets fighting desperately...but only one side can prevail and rule space for the next 10,000 years.

This is the titanic conclusion to the 18-book Blood on the Stars series. If you haven't explored any of it, start with book one, Duel in the Dark.

For those who have listened to the entire series, I hope you enjoy this one, and I am working on my new series now, which will be released in a few months.

great series, not so great book

this is one of my favorite series, but this book was a bit of a disappointment. it seemed author trying to stretch out the story with redundant and duplicated musings by the characters to the point of rambling on and on. yet the conclusion seemed abrupt and hurried. out of nowhere, a powerful savior appears and destroys the antagonist 'POOF!'.

Character development

Overall a good story . Manus Dei at the end could have been better developed. Great read

Speechless

I have loved this story and Jay Allen as an author since I read his first book in the Crimson Worlds series currently I am only halfway through this book and I cannot express how wonderful it is. I AM SPEECHLESS in the most recent twist and reveal of the final faction. I wish there were more to this series to come but I think I will now need to go back and start reading and listening from the begging with crimson worlds again.

Great series that was ready to end

This book shows as 14 hours long, but I would guess it's really about 5 hours long. I have loved this series, but this book repeated the same thing over and over and over and over..... and over again. If you're wonder what Jake Stockton is fearing, no worries, you will hear his thoughts at least 15-30 times. Some chapters are legit exact copies of previous chapters. Buy the book to end the series, but be ready to skip a ton of redundant prattle.

Algorithm

if you keep repeating inner dialogue content is created. The story is good but the redundant inner dialogue is suspect.
