The Sea Watch

Shadows of the Apt

De: Adrian Tchaikovsky

Narrado por: Ben Allen

Danger lurks beneath dark waters . . .

The Sea Watch is the sixth book in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

A shadow is falling over Collegium. Despite the tenuous peace, Stenwold Maker knows that the Empire will return for his city. Even as he tries to prepare for the resurgence of the black and gold army, a hidden threat is working against his people. Ships that sail from Collegium's harbour are being attacked, sunk by pirates. Some just go missing . . .

Lulled by the spread of lies and false promises, Stenwold's allies are falling away. He faces betrayal on every side, and the Empire is just waiting for the first sign of weakness to strike. But they are not the only power that has its eyes on Collegium. And even with all their military strength and technology, they may not be powerful enough to stave off the forces massing in the darkness.

The Sea Watch is followed by the seventh book in the Shadows of the Apt series, Heirs of the Blade.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human (Patrick Ness, author of The Knife of Never Letting Go, on Children of Time)

Another Fabulous Performance.

Ben Allen does another fabulous job narrating; to my ears the ideal way to experience the Shadows of the Apt for the first time.

The story is exciting, dramatic, suspenseful. We get in-depth character development for some interesting characters that we've been held at a distance from so far.

Definitely a standout in the series.

Steampunk meets Seascape

Continuing in the tradition of Tchaikovsky's elaborate plot weavings, this story brings a new dimension to the struggles of Collegium. I was thrilled by how much the story follows Stenwald and by all the development his character sees in this particular story.
This is yet another artful rambling rollercoaster of an epic fantasy and I cant wait to read the next one!

great - stick with it

If you're like me, this one was more difficult with the new names and kindens. But stick with it! search Google for sea kinden shadows of the apt wiki

Narration is ABSOLUTELY STELLAR.

Deep character and world-building. Somehow fusing steampunk, fantasy, scifi, and fun storytelling into this rich tapestry of post-apocalyptic splendor.

Going into the sea

Most of the still living regulars are gone from this book. Stengwold ends up spending too much time under the sea with new kinden (octopuses and crabs).

Solid book in a solid series

Solid book in a solid series. I plan on continuing on to the next one in there after.

Not much going on this time, with War Master Steinwald.

Always good writing, but Steinwald is a too uninteresting a character to follow the whole time, is all. no beef. I'm chill, and next book with get Tynisa's adventure. let's go!

Mind stimulating

The premise of world seeding and species enhancement is beyond. I've enjoyed learning of all the possibilities.

So many new characters!

A good time but you have to play close attention to the million new terms, places, and names that are introduced.

Im running out of compliments

Its a long series, and each entry does more than justice to the author's portfolio. Just makes me that much more confident to buy the remainder of his work in bulk
