The Tiger's Imperium

The Stiger Chronicles, Book 6

By: Marc Alan Edelheit

Narrated by: Steven Brand

The sixth instalment of the award-winning Chronicles of an Imperial Legionary Officer series.

Ben Stiger, Legate of the Lost Thirteenth Legion, a nobleman from an infamous family, and born fighter, has defeated the enemy army before Lorium and raised the siege of the city. Mortally wounded and dying, the emperor has made Stiger his heir, but in name only. The senate and the church must confirm and anoint him. Will they want a Stiger on the throne? Or will they choose someone else?

Hundreds of miles away, the Cyphan Confederacy’s armies are marching along the coast, moving inexorably toward the capital, leaving a swath of destruction in their wake. To save the empire, Stiger must leave his army behind, travel to the capital, and confront his father, who is in command of the legions defending Mal’Zeel. Stiger must secure his throne, for it is his destiny and burden to bear. Another must not be allowed to claim the crown of wreaths and the curule chair. For should that come to pass, everything Stiger has worked toward will be lost, and darkness, like a shadowy veil, will forever fall over the world of Istros.

Stiger has finally accepted the mantle of Champion for his god, the High Father. He has come to accept being made emperor, a job he never wanted, and being seen by his men as gods blessed. But has he truly been blessed? Or has Stiger been cursed to a terrible destiny?

The final battle to save the empire and the world has begun!

Thrilling chapter

The book felt really as one would imagine a palace takeover in the Roman empire would be. Somehow it reminded me of HBOs Rome and Caesar's struggle.

I have enjoyed the series so far and hope the 7th book would be a nice conclusion and wrap up. My only issue so far with the series may be the author's need to one up himself by increasing the challanges and pressure on Stinger with each book or chapter. It sort of feels like it dilutes the value and enjoyment by doing this. I understand why he does it, but really, I think the story would go well in a more balanced manner, without trying to hard to be more unpredictable each chapter than before. Anyway, looking forward to the next book!

Hobnails hurrah!

The performance carried me willingly through the story. Well worth the ride. You will enjoy the characters
The battles and the little things make the adventure!

Great listen

Hard to stop listening

Both the story and the reader are great

Enjoying the serious

Leaves you wanting even more

From book one to now. Can’t beat the character development and amazing adventures Marc has created. I could spend hours reading and re-reading this series to discover all the foreshadowing and Easter eggs from his other works.

Fantastic

Simply fantastic it was well written and I enjoyed the narration as well. So far this is my favorite series on audible for sure. If you like history and fantasy it’s a perfect merging of the two.
