The Narthon Empire and an Iraquinik member, Kolinka, made a mistake.

They tried to kill or capture Yozef Kolsko. The possibility that Caedellium could have peaceful years going forward is refuted. The key is bringing down Narthon. But how?

Caedellium is too small, despite innovations by Yozef Kolsko (Joseph Colsco) and Mark Kaldwel (Caldwell), humans cast away on the planet Anyar. Allies are needed. Campaigns to be planned. Risks to be taken.

For Yozef Kolsko, it means assuming roles he never imagined or believed himself capable.

Anyar will never be the same.

This is an exciting story that kept me interested from beginning to end. I think I liked this book somewhat less than the previous 7 in the story, but only somewhat. There’s less science and engineering but more battle. The ending was a cliff-hanger and I’m now left waiting fairly impatiently for the next book.

Exciting, end leaves you wanting more

Writing this review at a little over 12 hours in. Great world building, and loving how this world just keeps expanding, charcter, history, believable and intelligent interactions.

The bad: The narrator speaks slow, and sometimes it's hard to tell when he's speaking as diffrent characters. I started listening at 115% speed and enjoyed it a lot more.

Listen at 115% speed to enjoy this great story!

Story drags here and there. Heather was almost an afterthought. Mark should have gotten a few chapters as well.

What an Ending,!

New favorite book series and author. The world is vast and I’m anxious to where it goes. This me the series feels like a mesh of SiFi and historical fiction. Do your self a favor and read this!

Enjoyable Series!
