Agent of the Imperium

De: Marc Miller

Narrado por: Steve Marvel

To save the galaxy, a dead hero must rise again!

Jonathan Bland is a Decider, empowered by the emperor himself to deal with the inevitable crises of an empire. In the service of the empire, he has killed more people than anyone in the history of humanity, to save a hundred times as many. He died centuries ago, but they reactivate his recorded personality whenever a new threat appears. When the crisis is over, they expect he will meekly return to oblivion.

He has other ideas.

This is Traveller

if you are familiar with the game Traveller this book will feel like coming home. it's a small window into a beautiful setting. Marc Miller is an amazing storyteller.

I like it so much I 've read it more than once.

I bought this book originally as part of the Kickstarter and enjoyed it immensely. The progenitor of Traveller weaves a tale of political, intrigue and necessity.

In fact, when I found out that the book was published in the mainstream, I bought the audiobook again, so I could listen to it in the Audible reader.

Huge Traveller Fan here!

please, someone inform the narrator that the word: Marquis is pronounced: MAR - KEY.
Sheesh, that drove me insane.
This novel is a fantastic homage to Traveller fans everywhere. it's a bit slow in parts, but overall, tells a wonderful story.

Came here for traveller, stayed for the story.

I chose this story to get more background in the Traveller RPG setting, but I really enjoyed the book. Listening to the author play with the concept of the story's premise was really enjoyable.

Excellent snapshot of the Imperium over time

I enjoyed this book. The story was interesting and informative, the gradual character development of the Agent was pleasing, the space travel aspect was a great help in understanding the complexities of future travel and communication.
A must read for anyone interested in the Traveller RPG or just SciFi in general.
