Publisher's summary

"Will the galaxy survive?

Kanoor has fallen.

The Xortaags are back with a vengeance. Not being the forgive-and-forget types, they’ve conquered the Akakie homeworld, and now they set their sight upon Earth. Having reverse-engineered the advanced technology they scavenged on Kanoor, they now hold the key to rule the universe forever. It now befalls to Jim and his friends to save not only humanity, but every sentient species in the galaxy.

To make matters worse, an even more sinister threat is looming in the darkness. Unknown to our heroes, a time-travelling alien fleet is on its way to our neck of the galactic woods.

You thought the stakes were high during the first human-Akakie-Xortaag intergalactic war? You ain’t seen nothing yet!

The Golden Viper, the second book in the Crimson Deathbringer trilogy, boasts the same high-octane, nonstop action sequences as the first, and combined with its laugh-out-loud moments, shocking twists, and new, unforgettable characters, it’s a must-listen for all space opera/military sci-fi fans. Sink your teeth into Jim’s next set of adventures today!

Praise for The Golden Viper:

"The Golden Viper builds on already strong, deep characters, and adds further depth to them while remaining true to the vivid personalities. Suspenseful, gripping, and packed with action this will appeal to anyone who loves a character-driven, activation-packed read where protagonists are forced to face impossible odds." (K.J. Simmill, the author of Darrienia)

"If you loved THE CRIMSON DEATHBRINGER, you can expect more of the same, except this time the stakes are seven-hundred-million times higher. Humorous and harrowing, THE GOLDEN VIPER is riddled with sharp surprises and bitter betrayals. No muddle in the middle here; this action-packed sequel is as good as the first, and sets up nicely for the final conflict in THE BLACK FLEET." (Timothy Rains, the author of Saltwater Magic)

"The Golden Viper has all the high-flying action and great character chemistry that makes Robins’ series so much fun to read! If you like space battles and galactic plots, this one’s for you!" (Joshua Grant, the author of Pandora)

Fantastic series!

This is an action packed sci-fi series. I'm looking forward to listening to book 3.

Great sequel! Can't wait for part 3!

This is an excellent sequel to a fantastic part 1. The audio book means now I can enjoy it all over again. I'm really looking forward to part 3. Keep them coming Sean!

Lots of action and intrigue

The Golden Viper has a more serious tone than the first installment of the Crimson Deathbringer series. The main characters must wrestle with moral dilemmas and the less than scrupulous motives of other central figures are exposed. Questionable alliances are uncovered and others made. Lots of action and intriguing situations . This is a very entertaining sequel. I hope the final chapter is put on Audible soon!

I enjoyed it immensely!

The second book was as good as the first! Great job! Looking forward to the next one!

Sci-Fi Fun Ride!

Having now consumed books 1 & 2, these stories have become 'literary friends'. Book 2 gave me another visit with this 'fond friend' -- the diverse characters, the greater story arc, and new concepts and challenges the author wove into the text. I can't start book 3 soon enough!

Excellent Sci Fi Listen

Sean Robbins Does it again with his second Novel in his Sci Fi Series.
Star Wars Star Trek Expanse all rolled into so much more. HAVE FUN ...

Just keeps getting better!

This picks up right after the first one and I love it even more. Jim is awesome! He's me if I was in this book. Sean, knocked it out of the park again! This series is great. I highly recommend it. So many pop culture references. I thought it was going to be cheesy, but it makes it more real to me. Why wouldn't Jim be into all this stuff?! Rock on!

Great Series

I started on book 2 I think I really should’ve listen to book one first I missed a lot of what happened in book one.
It took me a while to figure out the story. After that I really got into it. If you like sci-fi this is an excellent book. I am really looking forward to book 3.

You're gonna wanna join-up and fight!

I still Love the second book in this series, even though I knew what to expect, and I wasn't quite as WOWED as I had been by book1!
I realize that this story ARC is much, much more than one or two books can hold, and so I'm looking forward to the announcement of audio books 3, 4... maybe even 5 👍!
The humans (our Freedom fighters) may believe that they've washed their hands of the Alien threat, but no it's really just the beginning, because the Xortaags aren't done with us yet, and I expect we're not done with the cowardly, manipulative Arakies either (Damn them), as they may need help too!
CJ Grey's narration was on the money, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to The Golden Viper!
So join-up with our freedom fighters, Jim and Kurt, and the few others left alive after the devastation brought on by the Crimson Deathbringer (Sean Robins doesn't pull any punches) and let CJ Grey take you on another adventure!

Like wine, better each book

The first book was slow but had a good story. For obvious reasons this had to be to make the second book awesome. Lots of action and depth that made you wish you could fly a spaceship yourself.

The question you ask yourself who’s truly the villain and the hero after the book is over. If you don’t then that’s on you.

Onto book three, I’ve already started it and it’s depth seems to more vast.

A good space adventure series id recommend to anyone
