Summary
"Space opera the way it ought to be...Bujold and Weber, bend the knee; interstellar adventure has a new king, and his name is Walter Jon Williams." (George R. R. Martin)
Following The Accidental War, the second book of a brand-new series set in the Praxis - an epic mix of space opera and military science fiction, from a grand master of science fiction, Walter Jon Williams.
The Praxis, the empire of now extinct Shaa, has again fallen into civil war, with desperate and outnumbered humans battling several alien species for survival. Leading the human forces are star-crossed lovers Gareth Martinez and Caroline Sula, who must find a way to overcome their own thorny personal history to defeat the aliens and assure humanity’s survival.
But even if the human fleet is victorious, the divisions fracturing the empire may be too wide to repair, as battles between politicians, the military, and fanatics who want to kill every alien threaten to further tear the empire apart. While Martinez and Sula believe they have the talent and tactics to defeat an overwhelming enemy, what will prevent their fellow humans from destroying themselves?

hot then cold
oh dear,
I've dated someone like zula, hot cold, murderous intent. Lady zula will never have peace until she accepts who she is. The author plays in the tragedy of the lie.
I don't understand why others are critical of the narrator, I believe he makes excellent use of tempo.
He might not have a voice for a women, but he does have accents. Somehow he made the love scene seem dirty rather than romantic.
I think the new found world started a new story arc that wasn't explored

The Narrator needs to be fired
Changing narrators mid series is just wrong this guy just bores the life out of the books. Go back to the Original guy.

Inject some passion
Great book, as usual. Love the military Sci fi stuff. The guy reading it, though.. Literally pronounces the same name differently in consecutive sentences, doesn't use different voices for characters speaking, it all just blurs together if you're not paying attention.

Disastrous
David Drummond was a fantastic narrator of the “dread empires fall” and ‘the accidental war”. However, Victor Bevan’s narration is one long continuous drawl destroying any interest in the novel itself. The story, characters and emotional investment, they all suffer from the most dreadful narration, extremely disappointed indeed.
