Antecedents' Assembly

Antecedents' Legacy, Book 4

De: Daniel Schinhofen

Narrado por: Andrea Parsneau

Zander led his crew through the first-ever mecha tournament, sweeping the top spot in every event.

That catapulted Zander, his crew, and Fractured Dreams into becoming household names on MX Hub, but it also generated some bad blood with people who didn't like the way Zander did things.

It also saw the bookie, Trenton, refusing to pay them; he wasn't about to let them bankrupt him. However, Trenton made a fatal mistake when he kidnapped one of the new mecha pilots under Zander's banner, and the ensuing conflict left Trenton and his flunkies dead. Zander was arrested, but his lawyer—courtesy of Lavella—had him free in a few hours.

If that wasn't enough, the Terran delegates arrived. They met with Zander twice, and Zander wasn't buying what they wanted to sell him. His warning to them about respecting the "Cult of the Spork" fell on deaf ears. When the Terrans were accosted over their lack of respect for the Antecedents, it started a brawl. That, along with Trenton's death, turned public opinion firmly against Zander.

The bad news wasn't done there, though, as an even bigger event came to the forefront. A level-five containment breach by the Entoma had them landing behemoths on a dozen worlds, and in a few cases, two or even three behemoths were sent per world.

With Dreams out of commission because of upgrades, Zander and his pilots were given over to the Assembled Fist to help with the breach. Zander had to prove to Nato, the lead pilot of the ship, that he was the best option to lead them into what everyone saw as a death mission. After claiming the lead pilot position, Zander still had to prove himself to the captain and mecha tech, but even they eventually understood why he'd taken over.

When the mission ended, two of the thirty pilots on Assembled Fist had died; the rest were alive, making a first in Assembly history. Zander was told he'd be called in front of the Galactic Assembly to explain how he'd managed what he had, but that would come after a stop back at MX Hub.

Already loved the story,but the voice actress really brings it to life

Enjoyed the origression of the story and the development of the characters, but A.P. did a spectacular job with all the voice acting, always a fan!1

not a lot happening

the stuff that does happen is awesome and important, but there's a lot of fluff in this one, still great writing and story though

The entire story was pretty good and was Andrea for the voice acting like she always is

I love the entire book except a little bit of a cliffhanger at the end I did love the Easter eggs to his other book series in this that was pretty cool

excellent story and performance

another sci-fi book hit out of the park. The only thing is I can't waitnfor the next!

Wait... where's the rest

I think there must have been a technical issue when the author uploaded the book. Im sure the author didn't just release a mecha space warfare book without a single battle, then end the book right at the beginning of the only battle. it's gotta be some sort of tech issue...

filler

Some important stuff happened, but mostly filler and world building. I hate that i have to wait but still a great series.

Another Zander novel

Still a great series but I will admit, this is just a filler. We're introduced to the Counsel. Zander makes advancements with his women. And then we are left waiting for the next. No real mech time, no bugs, very little of anything but his women.

Very little happens

Not much happens to progress the story and he keeps selling his own books throughout this entire book. He needs the very his main characters a bit more they all fit the same mold

good stuff

andrea parsneau is among the top 10 voice actor/narrator out there in my opinion. daniel shinhoven makes good stuff and all of his series are good for at least 3 books. I say 3 because I'm not into westerns but that is the only miss for me.

excessive chapter wasting sex scenes in an already short book

good Sci fi story but progressing too slow because author wastes way too much time sex details that do not add to the plot. some characters even complain about the excessive fixation on sex. grow up Danny. finish the story.
