Overcaptain

Saga of Recluce, Book 24

By: L. E. Modesitt Jr.

Narrated by: Kirby Heyborne

L. E. Modesitt, Jr. continues the Saga of Recluce, the long-running, bestselling epic fantasy series. Overcaptain, the sequel to From the Forest, continues to follow the early life of a man known by many names depending on who you ask—hero, tyrant, emperor.

Alyiakal, overcaptain in the Mirror Lancers of Cyador, has completed his tour of duty as officer-in-charge of a small, remote post. He just wants to finish and see his best friend consorted and assume his next post assignment. If only it were that easy.

He discovers corruption in the Merchanter Clans of Cyador, but investigating Mirror Lancer officers end up dead. Before he can go on leave, he has to replace one of these officers, close a post, dodge an attempt on his life, and an investigation from Magi-i.

At Lhaarat, Alyiakal is assigned as a deputy commander to a post that never had one, and the commander doesn't want one—and that's just the beginning of Alyiakal's problems.

Another great book in the Order series

Another great book in the Order series. Clean and crisp. Hope the next one comes out soon

Excellent Story

I love this book, as you read it, it comes to life in your mind.

As is usual, I enjoy the writing of LE Modesitt, Jr.

Some of the pronunciation is that of the UK and not of the US. It could be problematic for some listeners.

Another great story.

I always enjoy the Recluse tales. Although they build on a different aspect of the Recluse saga so each book could stand on its own

Amazing as always!

When I can actually feel the anxiety of getting reposted simply from a story and narrator, LE Modesitt, Jr and Kirby Heyborne are my favorite of an all the master storytelling teams.
