Five Hundred Years After

By: Steven Brust

Narrated by: Kevin Stillwell

In which our heroes are reunited a mere five centuries later… just in time for an uprising that threatens to destroy the Imperial Orb itself!

This is the story of the conspiracy against the Empire that begins in the mean streets of the Underside and flourishes in the courtly politics of the Palace where Khaavren has loyally served in the Guards this past half-millenium. It is the tale of the Dragonlord Adron’s overweening schemes, of his brilliant daughter Aliera, and of the eldritch Sethra Lavode. And it is the tale of four boon companions, of love, and of revenge... a tale from the history of Dragaera, of the events that changed the world.

Fantasy Dumas Styling

Brilliant take on the D'Artanian romances. Original in story but adhering to that incredible flavor

Sequel to Phoenix Guard, and just as fun!

Another fantastic story!

But readers need to understand it’s intentionally written like Alexander Dumas’ 3 musketeers. Why say it in 5 words when you could spend 100 flowery ones to get to the same point? This isn’t a story you can fly through, you need to slow down and enjoy the journey.

Fantastic

I realy enjoyed this great story. I realy enjoyed this writing style and the narrator did an excellent job.

good book

I liked the book. I hate the style at times but still.love it a lot

Unparalleled in performance -

I've read scores of fantasy novels since my youth, but Brust's works are the only ones I consistently return to. His ability to create & balance an entire Empire's history is astounding. The narrator's performance was spot on. Pitch, timing, cadence, and dozens of excellent voices were all there. I've always been a Taltos fan, and I'm overly pleased to have found the Dragaera series on audiobook -
