The Barbarian Bride

The Decline and the Fall of the Galactic Empire, Book 3

De: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrado por: Tim Gerard Reynolds

The end is nigh.

The Federation has stood for over 1,000 years, but its time may be at an end. Its emperor has gone mad; the economy lies in ruins; entire sectors are slipping out of its grasp; warlords, secessionists, and pirates are making their own bids for power; and a powerful rebel fleet stands ready to storm the gates of Earth. The end cannot be long delayed. As Roman Garibaldi, now leading an alliance of former naval officers and rebel outsiders, advances towards Earth, desperate to stop Emperor Marius before he throws the entire Federation into the fire, he has to face the possibility that it may already be too late to save the Federation from itself. And as both sides meet in a final confrontation, the price for saving even a tiny part of the once-proud Federation may be more than anyone is willing to pay.

The conclusion to The Decline and Fall of the Galactic Empire series.

Great Series, Great story

great final (?) book. oh, maybe the Rise of a New Worlds Order? hope so!

An important message in a time of insanity

I thought Mr Nuttall let someone else write most of the book as the thoughts seemed divergent to his previous works... But that was not the case, people may critique his works and his thoughts but I for one wholeheartedly agree with his closing warning.

The West is in crisis and unfortunately most will not see it until it is too late.

Glad I got through it

At this point its obvious Marius's mental state is questionable at best. This is more of that. The galactic politics and strategic battles are interesting, but at one point I felt unable to continue and listened through a different series before returning. I was just tired of the slow decline. Marius was my favorite character and while its interesting watching his descent in to madness its also painful. If you liked the previous book, this is worth finishing, but it was tough for me.

Nuttall writes a good story despite his politics

So he gets five stars from me. I enjoyed this series. Not much empathy for the masses, nor for the corrupt leaders. Nice space battles. Obviously this one is not my best effort at a review. By Rick, July 13,2018

Disturbingly Accurate Future and Current History

Excellent listen. Perfectly performed. Too close to home as a reflection of our declining civilization. A must read.
