The Thin Blue Line

The Empire's Corps, Book 9

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Earth has fallen - and humanity is holding its breath, waiting for the next blow to fall. On Terra Nova, Earth's oldest colony world, chaos and anarchy are threatening to break out, with total collapse only one disaster away. In a desperate attempt to save the rest of the empire, the planet's governor has summoned the leaders of the Core Worlds to Terra Nova, in hopes of sharing power and preventing civil war. But dark forces are on the move, intent on ensuring that the conference fails. As the first strands of a deadly plot are uncovered, Imperial Marshal Glen Cheal finds himself fighting to uncover the plot before it is too late. Meanwhile, on her own mission to save the last best hope for peace, Specialist Belinda Lawson of the Terran Marine Corps is plunged into a nightmare where she can no longer trust her own mind, while her decisions will save or damn the Empire. Failure isn't an option. But success may not be an option, either....

Onother exelent addition to the Series

I like the book and the series and know I will enjoy the next one as well. (If this is your first time looking a this series -- I would recommend starting with the first book and then moving forward through the series)

Belinda is BACK!

Let's face it- if you've read this far into the series you realize that it is closer in structure to a season of a television show than a series of books. This "episode" does not disappoint, and leaves me chomping at the bit for the next. Belinda Lawson, of When the Bough Breaks- is back- and we get another couple of characters to fall in like with as well.

Love this series

Awesome story line, vivid characters and each book although could be read without the others, ties into the big picture amazingly.

Great book, but the series is incomplete

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

The entire series is a great story, well narrated and, at times, a riveting sci-fi adventure. My only warning is that Audible has (to date) chosen not to make the last three (3) books available, so be warned not to get hooked on a conclusion that isn't forthcoming.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Thin Blue Line?

The build up to conflict with and the unscrupulous rouge Admiral that is duping both sides for her personal gain.

Any additional comments?

If Audible wants to increase sales of Sci-Fi (or any other book) that is part of a series, then they need to offer the WHOLE series, not just the first half. This is the third such cliff hanger I have encountered from Audible. In the future, I will NOT purchase a series book until I see ALL the books available.

Love the strong female characters

If you could sum up The Thin Blue Line in three words, what would they be?

Great continuation of the story

What did you like best about this story?

I like getting inside their heads of the marines. They are strong and smart against the overwhelming odds

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I would listen to this guy read the telephone book, Love his voice and style. I buy books because he is the reader.

Any additional comments?

Christopher and Jeff make a great team
