Empire's Ashes

Blood on the Stars, Book 15

By: Jay Allan

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

Tyler Barron is about to lead his fleet into a trap. He is sure the enemy is laying in wait, but he has no choice. After four years of unexpected calm along the front line, the Senate and the Hegemonic Council are demanding action, and the Pact’s commanding admiral has no choice but to set out on a mission to liberate the enemy-held regions of the Hegemony.

While Tyler prepares for an offensive he believes can only end in disaster, Andi Lafarge is preparing to continue her quest for the mysterious weapon the doomed empire used to defeat the Highborn centuries before. That search has largely been one of combing through old data and artifacts...until now. Andi’s path leads into the region of the Hegemony now know as Occupied Space, right past the Highborn defenses, to the shadowy and mysterious coreward regions of the old and fallen empire, and the ancient imperial capital itself.

The fleet will fight, struggling for a victory that may be out of reach, but even as they risk all, a new threat is growing, one far in the rear, along the regions of Confederation space that have been stripped of their defenses to support the war effort. The danger is real, and it is deadly. Tyler Barron and his spacers could see their home space invaded and destroyed, even as they fight for to achieve victory hundreds of lightyears away.

Waiting for the next few books

Another addition to series, I sort have had to laugh at the French accent for the Union population I wonder if that was on purpose.

The last sentence on the book worth the entire read.

Waiting Patiently

Can't wait for the next book. Listening to this series has been engrossing and thought provoking .. While listening on my way to work I missed my exit.

can't wait for the next book. very engaging.

for me, this is one of the best storylines I've read in years. can't for the next book

Masterful Storytelling!

Breathtaking battles and a surprise I didn’t see coming are just two of the reasons why I love this book! Not since Isaac Asimov have I enjoyed a sci-fi author’s books as much as I do Jay Allan’s. IMO, his writing is practically flawless. I also think that Jeffrey Kafer does an outstanding job of bringing the story to life.

I can hardly wait now for “Attack Plan Alpha” to come out on Audible! The freedom-loving people of the galaxy have to find a way to defeat a society that thinks of itself as gods!

Enough Already

Love the series. Love the author. This narrator is the GOAT! However, this series has gone on too long. I feel like a drug addict who can’t help keep buying from a dealer. Good guys beat bad guys at great cost. Repeat against slightly worse bad guy. Please make friends with the primary front fo defeat the Highborn The end. Your talents will come up with a new series.
