Beyond the Empire

De: K. B. Wagers

Narrado por: Angèle Masters

The adrenaline-fueled, explosive conclusion to the Indranan War trilogy by K. B. Wagers.

Gunrunner-turned-Empress Hail Bristol was dragged back to her home planet to take her rightful place in the palace. Her sisters and parents have been murdered, and the Indranan Empire is reeling from both treasonous plots and foreign invasion.

Now, on the run from enemies on all fronts, Hail prepares to fight a full-scale war for her throne and her people, even as she struggles with the immense weight of the legacy thrust upon her. With the aid of a motley crew of allies old and new, she must return home to face off with the same powerful enemies who killed her family and aim to destroy everything and everyone she loves. Untangling a legacy of lies and restoring peace to Indrana will require an empress's wrath and a gunrunner's justice.

Another wonderful one!

Great writing, characters, and world building and the narrator adds to the perfection. While this concludes the Indranan War series, you'll be happy to know the story continues in the Farian War series. I've read the series this far once and listened twice. It gets better each time.

Loved the book

Super story. Great ending to a trilogy. Excellent characterization. Lots of action. Good development of a future world.

entire series very well done

Truly enjoyed all three of these. Good to have strong female heroines for which to cheer.

Best female hero in sci-fi in ages! Highest quality story & writing

Terrific story. Many really well developed characters - significant growth through the three books. Intricate story, many completely unexpected surprises. Excellent quality work.

Ending dragged

It felt like the story turned into an episode of Scooby Doo after being a scifi epic.

I've enjoyed the whole series!

I have enjoyed the whole series, though less than her most recent stand alone novel.

Just an incredible series

I stumbled on this series by searching for "series like Star Wars" and am so happy I did. It was similar to Star Wars but at the same time different from anything else I've read or heard in a longtime. Tremendous story, great characters, great narrator. I highly recommend the entire trilogy and an looking forward to discovering more by Wagers.

Satisfying, yet somewhat predictable, ending

There isn't much else to add to this book in the series: it's as entertaining and enjoyable as the previous two books, but with the same limitations as well.
