Visions

Knights of Salucia, Book 1

De: C.D. Espeseth

Narrado por: Rhys David

“My name is Robert Mannford, and I saved the world by killing it.”

Wayran wants one thing: the truth behind the Jendar, an ancient technomancer race that vanished overnight, leaving only myths and impossible machines.

A sandstorm. A crash. A tower from his dreams. And a journal in the hands of a corpse.

The journal flips a dead mystery into a living threat, awakening something that should have staryed buried. Judgment is coming.

Nine lives. One design. No escape.

Across Salucia, nations resurrect lost technology and fuse it with newfound magic. An empire closes in. War looms. Lives begin to collide: a knight sworn to a dying realm, a prince who steals souls, a detective hunting a killer, a girl forged into a weapon, a princess fleeing duty, a destitute musician risking everything to help his friend, and an imperial soldier desperate for a new life. Every choice turns the gears of a design set in motion long ago.

And at the center of it all waits Mannford’s godlike creation: Kali.

Visions launches an epic fantasy saga of knights, airships, swords, and physics-bent magic—perfect for listeners who love sprawling casts, rising wars, and world-shaking mysteries.

Written for fans of The Stormlight Archive, Dune, The Licanius Trilogy, the Wheel of Time, and Book of the Ancestor.

Fantastic!

It took a little bit for me to get into as the stage was set, but it was well worth the wait. I binged this book in 2 days. This one was an easy five star for me.

Well worth a listen

I found myself really captivated by this story. This is an author and series I will be spending more time and money on. Just really good story telling. I found it hard to really define it as steampunk because the scope of the story was so well done. You can tell this is a story that took a while in the making because it is just so well thought out. There is so much junk out there and so many stories that look like carbon copies of others.......this is NOT one of them. I purchased this copy.So why only 4 stars on the story.....So why only 4stars? Because I do not just throw them out there. I plan to relisten to this in a couple of months and may up it to 5stars then.

What a ride!

I listen to audio books daily. In the alt world genre competing with legends like Brandon Sanderson, Peter V Brett, Orson Scott Card, is not an easy under taking. C.D. Espeseth managed to do it. While I'm not a fan of the reader, the book content is incredible. I will definitely be listening to it again, I feel I missed Soo much, but I'm looking forward to listening to it again... but only after I listen to the next book!!

excellent book with interesting setting

just finished listening to this book and really enjoyed it. it has some very interesting world building, a kinda made x of steampunk and fantasy, with some sci-fi and apocalypse elements thrown into the mix. characters are well fleshed out, though it does jump around a bit much sometimes. the narrator is very enjoyable to listen to, manages different voices and accents quite well. I did receive this book for free in an exchange for a review, but it's well worth spending a credit on, and the rest of the series will be on my purchase list as they come out.

Intriguing New Series!

C.D. Espeseth created a world with great detail, a story that flows well and multiple storylines that are intertwined and intricately done so that the listener will be swept away in no time. The characters are well developed as are the different threads of the story. Espeseth uses his storytelling skills to captivate his audience and bring them into his world through the details, humor and romance as well as intrigue and fear. A steampunk coming of age book; very well done and I look forward to the next in his series.

Rhys David performs the audiobook excellently with his deep resounding voice. I could listen to him for hours!

There were no issues with the production of this audiobook, it was clear and well done.
