Battles of the Republic: Battle of Shadows

By: James Rosone, Brandon Ellis

Narrated by: Scott Aiello

The war for survival demanded new alliances …

… and risks our heroes were not ready for.

Would they rise to face them … or fold?

Captain Ripley Willis Lee had faced danger before, but this new mission was even more threatening. Deep behind enemy lines, he and Primord Captain Dharek were forced to work together to unravel Zodark supply routes, sabotage infrastructure, and pave the way for the Republic’s liberation of Rass.

One wrong move—and the enemy wouldn’t hesitate to crush them.

The deeper they went, the more disturbing truths they uncovered. The Zodark war machine was evolving … and something darker was moving in the shadows. And even if Lee survived the threat from these sinister Zodarks, he had a political tightrope to walk with Captain Dharek.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Blake “Coop” Cooper traded the skies for the dirt.

After a series of setbacks, Coop knew he needed a reset. He sought a second chance by volunteering as a forward air controller to assist the Republic Army. This new challenge had him guiding airstrikes under fire, shouldering new responsibility, and fighting to regain the edge he once had. It was a second chance—but one that might cost him everything.

In a war where every victory comes with a price, the next chapter would test the Republic’s loyalty, courage, and resolve like never before.

If you love high-octane combat, alien alliances, and heroes forced to adapt or die—Battle of Shadows will keep you listening.

A nail biter

Great reader, you fill like your there during the fight. I cant wait for next book, i am preordering it on monday. Dont miss this book its simply a great listen

Good Series from the actual fighters angles

I read the first 2 book and with listen to this one on my travels. Love the angle of the battles and the story of the character and development. This adds to the more details from the main series of the story. The battles are so good that when you finish it makes you want more books. The narrator is excellent and does not bore you or make you fall asleep. If you have read the main story Rise of the republic, then I definitely recommend this series add-on.
