Summary
The Ember War, book 1: The Earth is doomed. Humanity has a chance.
In the near future, an alien probe arrives on Earth with a pivotal mission: to determine if humanity has what it takes to survive the impending invasion by a merciless armada. The probe discovers Marc Ibarra, a young inventor who holds the key to a daring gambit that could save a fraction of Earth's population. Humanity's only chance lies with Ibarra's ability to keep a terrible secret and engineer the planet down the narrow path to survival. Earth will need a fleet. One with a hidden purpose. One strong enough to fight a battle against annihilation.
The Ember War is the first installment in an epic military sci-fi series. If you enjoyed A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo and The Last Starship by Vaughn Heppner, then you'll love this explosive adventure with constant thrills and high stakes from beginning to end.
The Ruins of Anthalas, book 2: An ancient holocaust holds the key to humanity's survival.
Only a sliver of mankind survived the Xaros invasion. With Earth's defenses in ashes, nothing can stop the aliens' inevitable return. Hope arrives through a cryptic message from a long-lost alien race, promising the means to rebuild the shattered space fleet. Captain Valdar takes one of the last strike carriers, the Breitenfeld, and his shell-shocked crew on a desperate mission to the dead world. Unfortunately humans aren't the only power that received the ancient message....
The Ruins of Anthalas is the second book in The Ember War Saga, a military sci-fi space opera. If you like David Weber and John Ringo with a touch of Isaac Asimov, then you'll love this fast-paced and captivating adventure where humanity survives at the edge of a knife.

Good story but very short.
Worth listening to, believable characters with the right amount of depth.
finishes far to quickly

I am only writing this review to say one thing…
The narrator has a good speaking voice, but cannot do accents without literally causing my hearing to shut down in self defence.
This is made doubly worse by French characters, Canadian characters and… the poor Scottish character having the *worst* stereotypes written accents.
I don’t take offence at bad accents, but these actually made listening less pleasant, particularly the Scottish character, who is of course an engineer of sorts.
Listener beware.
The story is excellent - a little cross wired when it comes to the needs of the many vs. the needs of a few, and what ‘survival’ means.
But the technology, plot and general universe style could be Mass effect, particularly in the evocative fight scenes.

Great SiFi Concentration needed.
Would you consider the audio edition of The Ember War to be better than the print version?
This SiFi story is very interesting, there is some tech and I found I had to concentrate, and sometimes repeat a chapter so that I understood the story correctly, but this is just what I wanted, One can, with imagination, put yourself in that story, and become trapped in that world. I loved it, and a good narrator makes a difference too. well done and thank you.

Difficult to Follow at Times
I generally enjoyed this book, however I often felt lost in what was going on. I think the main reasons for this is that the book often fails to convey the scope of what is happening and I felt little attachment to the characters.

Narrator let it down
Interesting story but the narrator was too monotone and fast to enjoy the story fully. Did not finish this because of it.

This is a great story
So I’ve been listening to audiobooks for a number of years now and have re-listened the ember war saga my 3rd time. I get a personal connection with the characters and look forward to what I now know is coming.
Luke Daniels does a great job

Very enjoyable fast-paced space story.
I enjoyed these two fast-paced works of art immensely. Lovable characters, with nail biting twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat till the very end. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
