Publisher's summary

Whether they are ready or not, the people are about to find out what the queen’s promise is worth.

When Bethany Anne stepped down as empress, she swore to return if the Federation was ever in danger from outside evil. That time has come.

Bethany Anne’s refusal to be restricted by the impossible has made her plan to protect the Federation a reality, and the return of the Superdreadnought Reynolds brings a long-awaited reunion and an opportunity.

Pulling together old friends and family members from all over the Federation and beyond, Bethany Anne is ready to leave the Interdiction to build a military, whose numbers can rival the Ookens. But is her plan impossible enough to succeed?

Grown twins, new expansion

**Spoilers** In this installment, Bethany Anne has a conversation-negotiation with the Federation about their support in fighting against the Ooken and Kurtherians.
The twins come out of training grown and ready to help the fight. They are joined by K’aia, Trey, Christina Lowell and Kai Walton on a mission to find anti-Bethany Anne militants.
The Reynolds returns from its years of wandering with an adopted crew of biologicals including a wacky inventor who creates senses-enhanced bodies for Reynolds and Izanami.
Meanwhile, the Rangers are resurrected with Akio as Ranger 1, Nikki as Ranger 2, Sabine as Ranger 3. In traveling further out of the Interdiction Zone, the Rangers find a planet that might serve as a home for The Collective but, of course, it brings the Ooken. Once addressed, plans are made to build a shipyard to fill a pressing need for more ships and anchor a space base to protect The Collective once moved.
There were some plot blanks like WHY did Demon have to see Alyssa go to another Universe? If it’s covered in one of the 50 million related books it would have been nice to mention it in the author notes.
The book ends on a happy note with Bethany Anne playing cupid, or should that be fairy godmother?
Beresford does a very decent job of narration. I didn’t notice any of the mispronunciations that haunted the last few books, thank goodness!

Nice

Nice story with entertaining characters! Plenty of action and drama, and a lovely event at the end! The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene.

We Need More Bethany Ann....PLEASE!!!!

Michael Anderle & Emily Beresford I know you are very busy but please keep the Bethany Ann & audible versions of this series going. I wait for each of these books to become available in audible and love listening to them.... This is an amazing and fun story line. It is the first series that I became introduced to both of you, since then I have bought quite a few of the other associated series (e.g. TH). So if you want to know what us original supporters want..... more of the original story lines make me happy🥰

Loved it

Loved the book series, bought the series, and all of the audio books. Guess I am a little prejudiced, but if you haven’t followed the story, start with book one and decide for yourself.
