Story4.5 out of 5 stars 43
In the darkness beyond the galaxy, there are monsters. Some swim closer to the light, drawn by the beacon that is the Astronomican, while others stalk the Void, predators in the dark. The Carcharodons have hunted for millennia, but now they are drawn into a new blackness...the Dark City of the drukhari itself. Commorragh. For a thousand years, Chaplain Tangata Manu has searched for a relic lost under his watch: an ancient thing, once charged into the keeping of the Forgotten One himself. But at the brink of seeing his hunt fulfilled and the relic returned, it is stolen from under him.

So, yeah, we’re kind of riffing on “the heist” genre in this one.

Joe takes his first step into exile, and is promptly unable to breathe. This new Zone has a higher concentration of power, magnitudes denser. His first task is to survive, but mere survival is the least of his concerns. The Zone he has landed on has been in a state of constant war for thousands of years, a tug of war between the Elven and Dwarven societies. Not choosing a side is the same as declaring both to be your personal enemy. Though he is resistant, Joe reluctantly decides to go with the group he thinks will help him grow the most.

Very fun listen
Master Lecture Series ranks among the best audio dramas I’ve heard from Audible.
The story moves along quickly, frequently switching between a standard single narrator and full multi-cast sections. The story is funny and entertaining throughout, but its biggest strength is the pitch-perfect performance from an extremely talented cast.
The production features sound effects elements throughout, but not too much as to become a distraction.
Very enjoyable overall.

full of tropes and cheesy satire , a good fun listen. I was particularly fond of how effective it was to have the narrative framed as a lecture series , it worked really well for this.

Cheesy yet True
The world is somehow a collection of blatant knockoffs and sincere. Things connect in ways that seem organic, and while the story of Olivia is rather... normal. The presentation of the setting, and the depth in how the world works makes it still exciting. You dont need to roll your eyes at Chosen ones when you got a cosmic tuning fork.
