Publisher's Summary

Galaxy’s Edge returns with an all-new adrenaline-fueled season of the military sci-fi series!

With his duty to the Legion satisfied, Wraith sets out to find a lost member of his crew - the young girl Prisma. Not only does the journey bring with it more death and destruction - and loss - than he ever imagined, it revives the shadows of a forgotten past. The only way forward is to follow the footsteps of the legendary Tyrus Rechs.

Meanwhile, as the galaxy struggles to steady itself following the fall of a corrupt and bloated republic, dangerous threats vie for power. Insidious deep-state operatives, vicious abominations pulled from forbidden savage technology...and something impossibly ancient, awakening at long last to emerge from the darkness between the stars.

The book ends with TWO HOURS AND SEVENTEEN MINUTES LEFT!!!!

First of all, I actually got this book, listened to about an hour of it and couldn’t take it anymore, so I returned it. A few weeks later I read some more reviews and decided to give it another chance.
I don’t know which author it is, but one of them, or perhaps both, can be the most annoying and overly dramatic writers I can think of. It’s like they’re trying to be extremely deep in what they say but just bloviate about nonsensical things have almost no relevance to the story. Like describing something in four or five different ways, each description being more hollow and transparently pompous than the previous. Like to describe a hole. Literally, a hole. There’s three or four sentences describing a hole, and each one attempts to be more grandiose than the previous. It’s like someone high on painkillers trying to have a deep conversation about a thumbtack. It got to the point where I was yelling at my car speakers to “oh my god, just get on with the story already!!”
So I returned it. But, as I said, I gave it another chance and I’m glad I did. Ish.
The story is actually really good and they fill in a lot of the backstories for just about everyone. I truly enjoyed all of that, but then there’s the thing. The thing they did and, for some unknown reason, no one thought it was going to piss people off.
The book ends with 2 hours and 17 minutes left. Why, you ask?? For a “round table discussion”.
Personally, I don’t really care about the authors motivations, inspirations, tribulations or any other ations. I realize I’m most likely in the minority with that opinion, but it’s really not cool to sell a 17 hour audiobook and then have 2 hours of that filled with personal anecdotes and other things of that nature. Put out a free one with that stuff if you feel compelled, but don’t set people up for something and then pull the rug out from under them in what ends up being some of the most revealing and interesting parts of the series.
Seriously, all sorts of shockers are Laid out and then it just ends, followed by two hours of more bloviating.

And of course, as always, RC Bray is an absolute genius. You all know what I mean. He’s just amazing.
If I could have a beer with him and Ray Porter…. My life would be complete.

Absolutely incredible! KTF in the house!

Absolutely incredible! KTF in the house! And RC just kills it as only he can!

KTF

With the first book of season 2 I was a little put off. Ray was great, and it was a great stand alone book. But pretty much none of the characters returned and the story didn't continue anything from Season 1. Thankfully that is NOT the case with this one. Pretty much everything comes full circle. You WILL get answers and be left with so many questions. You guys did great. I can't believe the amount of buildup that went into this, it's amazing. There are so many small details that if you weren't paying attention you would miss and they come up in this book as important plot points. I can only imagine the amount of planning that went into tieing everything together. Ford went in the EXACT direction I wanted him too. Although, I'm still mad about the twist at the beginning but I think it's temporary... Keep up the awesome work guys.

best book in the series

this book ties in so many other novels and it does so very well where even if you didn't read the spin-off series it doesn't take long to get caught up I'm so glad GE is back

Amazing Change of Pace

This was an amazing showcase for the writing of Anspach and Cole. The book takes you deeper into the Galaxy's Edge than I remember.

The favorites are there, Wraithe, Ravi, Prisma, Crash, Tyrus Rex, and more. It's full of revelations about Wraithe/Keil/Ford ...You just need to read it.

If you have not read other Galaxy's Edge books and are investigating this as a new read, do yourself a favor and start at the series beginnings. You won't regret it!!

2 hours of chatting about yourselves. WTF

The book was great up until they spent the last 2 hours patting themselves on the back

Didn’t think they could pull it off, they did

I was worried, my concern was what direction the authors might take, if Anspach and Cole could pull it off, up the ante, go big, they do! I’m biased, love the GE universe, and while I can nit pick a bit, overall I thoroughly enjoyed this, the 11th book is fantastic, RC Bray is excellent, per usual. If you are a fan of military sci-fi, start with book one and enjoy the ride, you can thank me later.

Another one knocked put of the park

From the performance of mr Bray, to the story presented by the authors this book was a fantastic ride the whole way through.

what was that...

Wtf was that struggled to finish, the it had to many flashback points was worth the time to finish...

absolutely blown away yet again.

I am blown away by this book. It answers so many questions but poses even more. The writing was as always thrilling and engaging. The performance by Bray is to be expected. It opens up the world to so many more wonderful stories and I wish I had a time machine to go into the future to listen to the rest of thd GE series right now.

Great book not 18 hours

Love the story. Hate the publisher. I paid for 18 hour audio book but got 16 hours then and 2 hour round table with the writers. Now I don't mind it being a 16 hour story but then my audio book says I have 2 hours left I'm expecting more to happen and not happy when the book just ends.

Jam packed with reveals and twists!

Absolutely stellar story and reveals that made my crave more, Nick and Jason have me on this series like an addict looking for his next high

catchup on the characters

good that this book kind of filled in a few gaps, downer on Carter(spoiler alert) but hey you cant have too many heroe, or can you?

I finally get it. The writers are my new heroes.

Listen to the round table at the end of this book, it will open your eyes.

Let me re wind, I’ve been a fan of this series since the first book. I’m a Star Wars loving, sci fi nut British veteran. I always felt these books ripped some genres off a little but at the same time I felt these were the stories/ way Star Wars should have gone rather than the most recent trilogy. Additionally I love how they have collaborated so well while building this galaxy.

Guys, keep it up. You’re absolutely amazing and I love your work. 2 veterans smashing it out of the park👍

Season 2 finally here!

so worth the wait. great story, awesome characters, and RC Bray... what a legend! perfect story, didnt want it to end. the podcast thing at the end was a surprise, and meant the story was 2 hours shorter than expected... but i didnt want the story to end, so who wouldn't be disappointed? :) highly recommend this book!
