Publisher's summary

Kyle Riggs has been away from Earth for a long time.... What’s happening back home? In Empire, the sixth book of the Star Force Series, the story moves in a new direction.

Earth falls quiet, and the few reports coming out of the homeworld are increasingly strange. Isolated in the Eden system, Riggs realizes his enemies are forming an alliance against him. Crushed between two monstrous fleets, the last defenders of Star Force must forge their own alliance with the biotic aliens. But which alien race can Riggs truly trust?

Best so far

I liked this book the best of the series so far. But I'm starting to be able to regularly guess the plot twists.

Outstanding addition to series.

Outstanding addition to the series. I love the main character and like I said before...Crow needs a bullet in the eyes.

Not happy lead villain, but I will keep listening.

I'm not happy with Emperor Crow. Same with our hero keeping his same stupid rank of Colonel. If the story doesn't address this in the next book then I'm probably done with this series.

Heart-pounding adventure

B V Larson's Star Force series has become the standard by which I judge all military sci-fi.

This is book 6 in the series and if you're not on board yet, YOU ARE REALLY MISSING OUT! I just finished and I'm sort of in an overwhelmed shocked state of being. SOOO much happened. There wasn't a dull moment. The writing is the best it's ever been and it just keeps getting better and better.

This one was epic as Kyle faces off against enemies both biotic and machine! It's supposed to be the biotics/us and all the other life forms they've discovered against these psycho macro ships right? Well, I can't and won't even tell you what Crowe has managed to do to Earth back home and all sorts other treachery and near fatal things that threatened Rigg's Pigs.

I laughed (mostly at Marvin's antics, and the Centaurs), I pumped my fists, I thought about human nature. I can't wait for more!

Loved this book.

Those of you that have been hooked on this series, Empire will not disappoint. This book really had a twist i never saw coming. Its a great listen.

I really want to meet Quan and hang out with him, his jokes crack me up.

I really hope that there is at least one more book in this series. This one ended and left me wondering.

Another B.V. Larson masterpiece!

Well I'm no writer and I can hardly think of many good things to say about one book. All the books in the series have very interesting story and the narrator is great... so that's all.. another great book :)

Great story & Performance

My only gripe is the audio has variations were edited. The volume and tenor change. That is a mechanical issue really.
