End Game

De: Lindsay Buroker

Narrado por: Kate Reading

Alisa Marchenko has reunited with her daughter, and even though she hasn't figured out how to get Jelena to accept Leonidas yet, she dreams of the three of them starting a new life together. They can return the Star Nomad to its original purpose of running freight and staying out of trouble (mostly).

Before that can happen, Alisa must fulfill the promise she made to Jelena: that she and her crew will retrieve young Prince Thorian, the boy who has become Jelena's best friend. But Thorian was kidnapped by the rogue Starseer Tymoteusz, the man who wants to use the Staff of Lore to take over the entire system - and the man who may have the power to do it. Alisa doesn't know why he kidnapped Thorian, but Tymoteusz once promised to kill the prince, so she fears they don't have much time.

Unfortunately, Tymoteusz hasn't left a trail of breadcrumbs. Finding him will be difficult, and even if they're successful, facing him could be suicidal. To have a chance of surviving, Alisa will have to come up with her greatest scheme yet.

Aw×, I hate to see it end!

"End Game" by Lindsay Buroker and performed by Kate Reading is an absolute joy and a very fitting end to a superlative series! Packed full of action, adventure, humor, and heart the entire series is wonderful. I simply wish it didn't have to end. *brava*

great story

every word keep me hook moving for one momment to the next. the narrator has a great grasp on the character and did an amazing job telling the story. I am looking forward to the next storm in the new series.

Best of the "Fallen Empire" series

Most books I just leave star ratings. I do offer my opinions when I find a writer lacking. Especially those, who do not seem to know good books, even in a series, need to be very much stand alone literature.
In my opinion, Lindsey Buroker is one of the best. I have thoroughly enjoyed the Fallen Empire series. Book eight, End Game is the best. Having been born to a line of smart alec family, I truly appreciate that aspect of the lead character's personality.
This book is well written, suspenseful and humorous in the right places.

Great adventure series!

The reader is excellent and kept me interested through 8 books of space adventures. If you like dry wit and a good heroine, this one’s for you!

Good

A good ending for this series of books. although I hope these characters will continue in a new series. Alisa and her strange crew continue there quest to save the alliance from an evil monk with enhanced mental powers and a very strong magical staff.

Must read...enrich your life here!

I have read or listened to all of this series no less than 3 times now. The characters are part of my world. The writing is superb and the narration is top notch.

Laugh out loud space opera series

Loved it!!! I completely want to see how the daughter turns out! There so much more of the story. Please please write more. I absolutely love this series!!!

Suspense filled

I was drawn in from the very beginning and found that I could not stop listening very addictive

Not enough sex!

This series is an amazing science fiction series but I was here for the romance arc as well. I thought the conflict in this area was hilarious and it kept us focused on the main storyline until the last couple books. I was content to wait but once we got to the intimate sections the author completely glossed over them. The buildup to the first intimate moments were for nothing because the timeline jumped ahead completely skipping them. There was one sex scene that was written in (finally) in this book. It was brief and lacking passionate description. From the beginning the author wrote the heroine and most of the supporting characters as adults who were comfortable joking about sex. This book is for adults, and written by a woman. As an adult woman with an appreciation for both romance and sex, I am disappointed. It’s like there is this stigma towards writers. I say, write in the sex. The people offended by a realistic romance can skip it.

As it stands this series is not appropriate for children so why can’t we have a couple tasteful love making scenes? I try erotica romances and it’s far too much sex and it tends to be fetishized or the plot is poorly written. Where is the in between? I loved this series and hope the author can manage the romance aspect a little better in the future.

Love, love, love

Recommend starting with the first book in the series. Total escapism, with good character development and lots of action. It's part space opera and part fantasy and has so many great characters.

While not necessarily sophisticated prose, the books are well written. I love escapist fiction but hate when it is poorly written - the author writes very well.

Love the humorous dialog and actually laughed out loud a few times. There is even a little romance thrown in. Highly recommend the entire series!
