It’s the master tactician of the ruthless Galactic Empire versus the Free Planets Alliance in Japan’s greatest space opera epic!

In the thirty-sixth century, humanity has conquered the galaxy and colonized countless star systems. The Galactic Empire, modeled along Prussian lines, and the democratic Free Planets Alliance are at war, and the fate of every human being in the universe hangs in the balance. This classic Japanese space opera, adapted into a legendary anime, is finally available in English for the first time.

A grand scheme for retaking Iserlohn is delivered to Reinhard, who with renewed determination seeks to become ruler of the galaxy and to fulfill the oath he made with a dear, departed friend. But what are the aims of Phezzan, the third force at work behind the scenes? Meanwhile, no sooner is Yang breathing a sigh of relief when Julian returns from his first combat mission than he is summoned to an inquest and departs for the capital of the alliance. As if waiting for this opportunity to strike, however, the imperial military's secret weapon appears right at the gates of Iserlohn. The battle begins! Who will endure?

Majestic Tale

Legend of the galactic heroes is truly a masterpiece, no book alike can match it’s great story.

it's a shame they only did the first three

this is a really fun way to enjoy the series. I believe the reader was very suitable.

Fantastic

Tim Gerard Reynolds delivers an amazing performance as always.

amazing the worst part is no 4

UGGGGF WHY IS THERE NO PART 4!!! OR MORE!! the dub of the anime ends here and now this!

Amazing series -- limited by lack of audio books

If you have gotten this far into the Legend of the Galactic Heroes series by listening to the audio books, consider yourself warned: there are no audio books for volume 4-8. At least not yet. And this is a huge problem because this series is amazing.

Yes, of course you can still read the book on kindle, etc. However, if you're listening to the audio book version there's probably a good reason for that and reading it on the kindle doesn't really fix the problem of books 4-8 being unavailable.

Considering that the audio book for vol. 3 was released in Nov. 2016, there's no reason (logistically) why the other books shouldn't also be available... but that is not the case. Tim Gerard Reynolds is still narrating. Simon & Schuster Audio is still publishing.

And yet, Legend of the Galactic Heroes ends at volume three.

Please continue this series on audio. It is a fantastic series with engaging characters, interesting subplots, political maneuverings and manipulations, etc. etc. This is a gem of a story and it is worth continuing.

SIDE NOTE: Yes, this series is available as an anime. It's not the easiest to find and was done in the 80s, but the anime did a decent job following the plot of the books. If you don't mind reading subtitles, I suggest you check it out.
