Conquerors’ Pride

The Conquerors Saga, Book 1

De: Timothy Zahn

Narrado por: Derek Shoales

Timothy Zahn, Hugo Award-winning author of the New York Times bestselling Star Wars trilogy, blazes a spectacular new path across the sky in an epic original novel of star-spanning action adventure, mystery, and intrigue.

A long era of peace and prosperity in the interstellar Commonwealth has suddenly come to an end. Four alien starships of unknown origin have attacked, without provocation, an eight-ship Peacemaker task force, utterly destroying it in six savage minutes. The authorities claim there were no survivors. But Lord Stewart Cavanaugh, a former member of Parliament, has learned through back channels that one man may have survived to be captured by the aliens: his son, Commander Pheylan Cavanaugh.

A large-scale invasion appears imminent, and the strictest security measures are in effect...measures that Lord Cavanaugh has no choice but to defy. He recruits Adam Quinn, who once flew with the elite Copperheads—fighter pilots whose minds are literally one with their machines—to rescue his son. Quinn assembles a crack force of Copperheads to steal out of the Commonwealth security zone and snatch Pheylan Cavanaugh from the conquerors. Depending on the outcome, Quinn and his men will return home as heroes or as the galaxy's most despised traitors—if they come home at all.

Great Space Military

It had politics, daring capers, double bluffs, secrets and lots more interesting things. Not as good as a Thrawn book, but great if you love Battlestar Galctica (new).

Great narration of a great story.

After years and years of waiting for a new recording of this book it is a pleasure to listen to it. Great story. It deserved a new narration.

Disappointing

The author spends little time moving the story forwarded and a lot on irrelevant details. The narration was one of the worst I have had to endure.
