About this listen
Hazard King had always wanted to be an Imperial Fleet officer, just like his father.
But he’s a Prince of the Realm, which make things a bit more… complicated. And when Hazard’s parents tell him that they don’t trust his older brother and want Hazard to be the Crown Prince—the heir to the throne—things go from bad to worse. Just when it seems they can’t get any worse, the Empress is attacked.
What is a simple fleet lieutenant supposed to do with his mother in a coma, a seemingly invincible enemy on the offensive, a darkness from the past stirring, and his paranoid older brother trying to assassinate him? What Naval officers do best—improvise.
He’s going to need all his skills, as well as the help of a former spy, a handful of Marines, and a few close relatives if he’s to defend the Empire against all enemies—foreign and domestic.

Surprisingly good
I came across this book after listening to Abner Fortis ISMC Holy war following the narrator and looking for something similar (a not too confusing military sci-fi). And here i am and there it is. The beginning is a little strange (there's some foreshadowing or something I didn't quite catch), but after that it's a straightforward story of intrigue, politics and action. The audiobook is 10 hours long but it feels like 2 or 3 book in one, but in a good way.

Classic space opera
Hazard always wanted to be a Imperial navy officer, unfortunately he is also the younger son of the Empress, Political intrigue ,family rivalry and an assassination attempt conspire to make him regent. A really entertaining, well written story that draws on elements of some of the best in the field. Excellent. John Pirhalla does a great job with the narration. I really look forward to listening to more of these.

It's okay.
The story has a little too much plot armour for me to really get into it and like it. Add in a dash of over-the-top diversity which is pushed into your face several times for seemingly no reason- and by that I mean it serves no purpose to the story what-so-ever. It gives you a rather dull listening experience. I mean, seriously. I do not need to know the skin colour of every non-Caucasian character, if I did, I would expect the same on the Caucasian ones as well, but I just don't. The way these characters are described is like I'm meant to be surprised by it. A black king? Oh, shocking-No, it isn't. I'm not racist. Maybe I'm being overly harsh on it, but it really stuck out. Also, it seems only "Old Earth" had decent military ideas. Haaaaaa- Oh, and I genuinely chuckled at how the "troubles" was described as just "some" horrible things.
