Democracy's Right, Book 1

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Johnny Heller

The Empire

A tyranny stretching over thousands of worlds. The grand dreams of the founders are a joke. The Thousand Families, the rulers of the Empire, care nothing for anything save their own power. From the undercity of Earth to the new colonies at the Rim, discontent, anger, and rebellion seethe, but there is no hope of breaking the power of the Empire and freeing the trillions of enslaved humans and aliens.

The Rebel

Commander Colin Walker believed in the Empire until a treacherous superior officer betrayed him, forcing him to see the true nature of the force he served and his compliancy in terrible crimes. Now Colin has a plan: He and his followers in the Imperial Navy will seize their ships and rebel against the Thousand Families, uniting the thousands of rebel factions under his leadership. Their war will set the galaxy on fire.

great story

awesome story little different then most scifi right now I liked the almost epic scale of battles that took place in this one I recommend this to any avid scifi fan

A new story and a good start

The plot is interesting. It may take while to warm up to Collin, the main character. The author is making a great effort at building characters - he even builds characters who get killed on the the next page lol. Bringing in the concept of the family 'House' and the Thousand Family rule gives the story an interesting slant as well. Not sure about the narrator however. In some of the battles the author puts us in the heads of the Empire's fleet leader and the Rebel fleet leader and it gets a bit confusing - I had to replay that section a couple times to tell which side's Super Dreadnaught was blown up.
The narrator doesn't excel at differentiating characters very well which contributes to the confusion.
Even so, the story is enjoyable and off to a good start.

Decent book

Love the story but I found descriptive detail lacking a little or would of got 5 stars.

Hit it out of the Park again

As with a good number of his books Nuttall has woven another great tail that left me listening well into the night and eyeing my budget to see I could spare some credits for the next ones

Empire’s corp but not

Liked the political intrigue and naval combat descriptions. The Empire should be called something different.
