Story4.5 out of 5 stars 112
Starseer, pilot, and animal lover Jelena Marchenko wants to prove to her parents that she's ready to captain her own freighter and help run the family business. When she finally talks them into getting a second ship and letting her fly it, it doesn't faze her that the craft is decades old and looks like a turtle. This is the chance she's craved for years. But it's not long before the opportunity to rescue mistreated lab animals lures her from her parentally approved cargo run and embroils her in a battle between warring corporations.

A thousand years have passed since a dragon has been seen in the world. Science and technology have replaced magic, which has dwindled until it has become little more than an element of myth and legend. There are those who still have dragon blood flowing through their veins, distant descendants of the mighty creatures of old. These rare humans have the power to cast magic, the power to heal, and the power to craft alchemical weapons capable of starting wars...or ending them.

Telryn "Trip" Yert has always been a little odd, with hunches that are too accurate to explain. Magic is feared and forbidden in Iskandia, so he's struggled his whole life to hide his eccentricities. As a boy, he was forced to watch his mother's execution. Her crime? Witchcraft. Understandably, Trip wants nothing to do with the power that lurks within him, always threatening to reveal itself. Instead, he dedicates himself to serving as an officer in the king's army, to battling pirates and imperial conquerors. He longs to become a soldier as respected and renowned as General Zirkander.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
After 10 years at war, Jev Dharrow looks forward to hanging up his sword, relaxing with a cool mug of ale, and forgetting that the love of his life married another man while he was gone. But when his ship sails into port, a beautiful woman wearing the garb of an inquisitor from one of the religious orders waits to arrest him. He’s accused of stealing an ancient artifact with the power to start another war. Jev would gladly hand over the artifact to stop more suffering, but he has no idea where it is or even what it looks like. The inquisitor woman definitely has the wrong person.

The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the Native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

EXCELLENT. WELL WRITTEN AND PERFORMED
Fantastic space opera. I love the protagonists. Lots of action and a little romance thrown in. Alisa, the fighter pilot of the Alliance and Leonidas, the cyborg colonel of the empire had to work together to get to their goals. Along the way they have to escape from their enemies. A very well written series with witty dialogue , intrigues and politics in the mix. A boxed set of 3 books is really worth the credit. I will be continuing book 4 and I hope book 5 will come out soon.

Interesting story, mediocre narration
I honestly thought Kate Reading was better than this after listening to the Wheel of Time series. Now it's clear that Michael Kramer's performance was so bad that Kate sounded phenomenal by comparison. It's an otherwise fun story of a distant future that kinda mixes Star Wars with Firefly. If you can deal with Kate's ridiculous character voices, give it a go.

If you've read her other stories then you can guess what's up with the captain and cyborg. The whole time you'll just be sitting there grinding your teeth telling them to just kiss and bed already!

YES!
Not only is this a well-written adventure, but the audio book is superbly narrated. I did not know this author but I'm a fan of Kate Reading from her narration of my very first Audible Epic Fantasy series, so I decided to give this writer a try. I am pleased with the characters and the story, but I'm not pleased that it left me wanting more. I must seek out the other books! Audible I hope you have them!

I really liked the story, the narrator, and her writing style. Just good solid storytelling. I will buy more as I need to see how this turns out, I do wish the upgrade that ship they are flying around in, it sounds like it's a pile of junk :-)

Generic
The main problem with this book was that a number of plot twists were recognisable from other books/films of the same genre - which loses the originality feel. Other than that the characters were fine and it is a lighthearted listen,

Loved the books
I have to say I loved this and even got butterflies in my tummy in the epilogue of book 3. Now I HAVE to get the rest because I need to know what happens.
Space chickens, futuristic-mushroom eating- hippy, an android, a doctor/monk on a mission, a security officer dreaming of being a galactic sauce superstar who's running away from the space mob, a lesbian mechanic and a captain just trying to find her daughter. It's brilliant!!
The only fault I can find is the narrator. Unfortunately there really isn't much in the way of character distinction which can get VERY confusing. Also she has a weird way of emphasising parts of a sentence that sometimes you think there is more to come and sometimes it's as though she's just cut off... Very strange. Thankfully the story is strong enough to keep you going.

Good but not for me
Any additional comments?
Other reviewers compared it to Fire Fly guess I should have listened as never really took to that show.
Fallen Empire has good characters and story behind it. But developments in story move to slow for my liking. On book 3 of Omnibus and none of the individual stories for each character progressed much.
Will give FE this, the characters personalities are clear, so you will know who you like, hate or and trust by then.

Enjoyable story and good performance.
An easy listen with a nice mix of action, humanity and touch of politics. The humour worked well, never feeling forced or over done. Kate Reading's narration is great and is well suited to Lindsay Buroker's writing style. This is an enjoyable adventure in space with likeable characters and I look forward to reading more books in the series.
