Fallen Empire

Born of Ash Series, Book 1

De: Marc Alan Edelheit

Narrado por: John Lee

After years of catastrophic fighting, the rebellion is over. The First Galactic Empire has fallen. Instead of liberation and a return to democracy, freedom, and a new golden age, humanity has been plunged into darkness.

Eighteen years after the Great Fall of civilization, stranded on the wrecked world Asherho, Keira Kane struggles to make her way. Adopted, protected, and raised by former Imperial Marines, Keira has been trained as a mechanic and technician. Her skillset is indispensable to maintaining the decaying infrastructure of her dying planet.

Keira rapidly finds herself a fugitive, hunted not only by the government she has served but by the planetary militia who wants her for their own nefarious reasons. Unbeknownst to Keira, her Imperial Marine companions have been guarding an incredibly valuable secret, one that has the potential to save humanity or see its light extinguished from the galaxy forever.

Keira is thrust into a life-or-death struggle she never imagined. The road ahead is not only dangerous, but a path destined for her alone.

Does she have the courage to walk it? Or will she falter and allow humanity to continue its fall into darkness? Only time will tell....

please continue to write

I sure like to see more please continue to write I'm following so many threads of your writing I can't wait to hear on any front thank you.

Space Rock 'n Roll!

This is top shelf space opera that's both fun and easy to enjoy. It's short and sweet, with well developed characters. The plot is interesting and fresh, and there's enough action to keep things moving nicely. What's more, there are none of those little negatives that can ruin a good book/narration. No made-up swear words, no winey characters who spend all their time rehashing their negative feelings. And of course, maybe most importantly, John Lee gives us another masterpiece performance.

An all around great choice, a keeper, and a series of books that I am thoroughly anticipating!

EZ

Nice Sequel

I enjoyed the book, Mark continues to have a great imagination and skill at bringing stories to life. Especially glad to see the book was longer than the first with more details revealed.

John Lee does ok, I find he does better at narration than voice acting.

came for the narrator, stayed for the author

rarely does an author capture military lingo and culture well, especially with the addition of civilian considerations. I liked the descriptive elements and world building, felt like i could see it as a movie in my head which has 1 part Michael Bay, one part Spielberg in his prime and one part Marvel banter. Also i rarely connect as well with female protagonists, but feel this was well written and her plot armor wasnt bulletproof keep going Mr. E, I came for the narrator, stayed for the author.

Another win

It’s not Stiger. Though it is a very worthy plot and I’m looking forward to the next in the series.
