Qalea Drop

Spiral Wars, Book 7

By: Joel Shepherd

Narrated by: John Lee

The UFS Phoenix embarks on a dangerous quest for the AI Ceephay Queen who rules at the heart of the Reeh Empire. For cover, Phoenix will use the enormous war being launched by the new rulers of the croma, Croma'Dokran, into reeh space. This war is intended in part to evacuate the corbi homeworld of Rando, thus righting a great wrong of croma history by rescuing 200 million corbi from reeh tyranny.

While Lisbeth defies her parren seniors to use drysine and parren firepower in assisting the evacuation, Erik captains Phoenix, accompanied by Styx's four drysine warships, to the world of Eshir, where Styx insists the Ceephay Queen was once located. There, in the ancient, ruined city of Qalea, Trace and Styx must lead an away mission through buried layers of Reeh Empire history to uncover its long-forgotten secrets. Discovering the Ceephay Queen's present location could set them on the road to saving humanity. But Qalea's secrets have been hidden by the reeh for millennia, secrets that could rock their Empire, and they will stop at nothing to keep hidden.

A Wonderful Addition

The Spiral Wars is my favorite Sci-fi series and this book is just as fantastic as the rest of the books in this series. I love the lore and deep history present in all these books, not to mention the intense political scheming on all sides. I eagerly the next installment and hope there are many more to come.

good listen

a bit more of the same but if you've made it this far that's probably OK with you, hopefully the next book move the story along more though

series continues in high end form

This is one of the best series in this genre. Story, chemistry, action, and dialog make it worth multiple listens.

Still fresh and exploring

Loving this series, it still feels fresh, and is developing the characters well. Passages with AI are consistently interesting

The Character Development & Hard Science 💪🔥👏

Never knew Joel's writing until this series, very lucky to have stumbled upon this! Strong writing, character development through the roof, plot lines that cascade, and very plausible future tech that makes the best Science fiction 🙌👏.

I'm all caught up in the series, ugggh 😫 I need the new books to drop!
