Resumen del Editor

Emmy-nominated Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, The Mandalorian) and Eric Dane (The Last Ship, Grey’s Anatomy) play two warring commanders in this military science fiction novel written by Nebula and Dragon Award finalists Richard Fox and Jonathan Brazee.

A war with no end. A vendetta that will destroy two commanders.

The war between the Alliance and the Hegemony has spanned countless stars and shed untold blood on a hundred worlds. For two commanders, Alliance Captain Alcazar and Major Richter of the Hegemony, the war has spiraled into a personal feud.

Both lead fierce marines and mechanized soldiers into battle against the other on the green hell planet, Ayutthaya, and each new fallen warrior only deepens the bitterness and hatred between the two.

But as the conflict rages, the two warriors discover they have more in common than they dare to admit, and their own codes of honor may be what can bring the bloodshed to an end...if they don’t kill each other first.

Military veterans and authors Fox and Brazee bring their wartime experiences and years as officers in the United States military in this grueling, head-to-head action driven story.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A tour de force of edge-of-your-seat combat. Brazee and Fox put the reader in the middle of a sci-fi war that only actual combat veterans could write. Not only is the action some of the best out there, but they capture the still, quiet moments of conflict that readers deserve to experience. Hell’s Horizon is the book fans of military sci-fi have been waiting for. Don’t miss it!” (Dave Chesson, editor in chief, TopSciFiBooks.com)

"As real as combat is and can get without having to be there. Brazee and Fox have crafted the perfect blend of military science-fiction and hyper-reality. You can smell the gunpowder of old mixed with the energy from weapons yet to be." (Craig Martelle, Dragon Finalist for Best Military Science Fiction Novel, 2018)

"Top notch action sci-fi.” (JN Chaney, best-selling author of Renegade Star and Ruins of the Galaxy)

"This is not merely a science fiction about war. This is true military science-fiction at it's most authentic, grittiest, unsentimental best.” (Chuck Gannon)

Great format and story

Great story written from two perspectives—and read from two perspectives! The engaging and fantastic Giancarlo Esposito gave the better performance by far, but Eric Dane provided a significant contrast for his character, even though he mumbled at times. Not my usual genre but I was quickly hooked. Well worth your time.

More from this Universe Please!

Excellent story. This is a glimpse into one small part of some huge war, but its a great part. Often those small skirmishes in war are overlooked, or occasionally one small skirmish winds up becoming a turning point. Who is right or wrong? This well written story let's you decide. Is doing the wrong thing to achieve a desired and perhaps the right outcome worth risking it all and damning yourself? Is there a time for hate? Can two men on opposing sides kill each other and their troops with honor and dignity? This book dives deep into some dark corners. Im not going to say I agree with its revelations but I appreciate it for going there.

Giancarlo and Eric give good performances, though you could definitely tell where the breaks were taken.

I definitely want more of this universe as it is rich with story potential.

great story and voices

great story for a war boom with a satisfying ending.
deffinatly recommend for those who like Sci fi war.

Powerful & gripping story, exceptionally performed

Powerful & gripping story, exceptionally performed! It was brilliant to have the two narrators and they knocked it out of the park! My only wish is that there were more to come 🙁

Outstanding!!

Not only was this story very well written but the development of the characters, the visuals well defined, the military lingo was spot on and shows that the author did his research or was writing from experience. True, and gritty and full of action. The performances from these legends of both TV and Cinema was exceptional and added even more depth to the story.

Enjoyable story marred by the narration

I enjoy most of Richard Fox' books and though new to Jonathan Brazee's writing I look forward to more of his stories.
This book is well-written and the world-creation is interesting. I hope to read more within this universe. Unfortunately, if these are the two narrators in future stories I definitely will be reading and not listening.

Giancarlo Esposito was the better of the two, though that's not saying much. His narration was uneven and at times his voice was too low to be understood. His range of voices was something less than two as well. All of his characters sounded nearly the same.

Eric Dane sounded like he was going to fall asleep while reading, No emotion, no inflection. Perhaps his character is more even-keeled and thoughtful, but to me he sounded nearly dead. His range of voices was one. All of his characters sounded exactly the same.

I cannot understanding the fawning reviews of the narration.

I do not recommend this book at all as an audiobook. If you're reading this review to see if you should spend a credit on it, don't bother. Get the paper or e-book version. Great story! Dreadful listen.

Great Book

This was my first audiobook and I LOVED IT!!! Definitely will try another book in no time.

WOW!

In my vast library of varying genres I consider this to be one of the most enjoyable listens I have lent my ear to. Both Mr. Dane and Mr. Esposito are outstanding narrators and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another book with either one in it. I was expecting an outstanding story because I'm a huge fan of Richard Fox( Wheres my next Ember wars universe installment?)and was not disappointed at all.
This is a riveting story of two outstanding leaders of men in war. I wont spoil it for you so please go ahead and buy it for yourself and get strapped in. You're in for a wild ride!

Couldn't stop.

The story was well done, well read and I couldn't stop. finding myself speaking to myself about what could happen next. great experience.

wow what a great book

Two authors, two narrators, two sides 1 battle. the action was fast and deep and the storyline was so enhanced by the two narrators delivery. I not sure if there will be any more but I sure this will be. highly recommended.
