Historia
The human powers have been pushed to the brink, battered, and almost destroyed. The virus they have invented and deployed, their sole possibility for victory, seems to be too little, too late. Its usage has only spurred the enemy to quicker action, to finish the war before they have to deal with its effects. But the humans do not know that the Highborn are faced on another front, by a race they know little about but have battled for two centuries.

An impotent and unsatisfying ending…
Revisado: 06-26-24
Beginnings and endings matter… the beginning of this series was well thought out and well written. But in the end it fizzeled out and fell flat on its face just before the finish line. It feels like the author had a stroke or brain worms or something because he forgot how to write in any meaningful way. It’s like a bad fanfic ending.
It’s also repetitive, and by that I mean it repeats itself, and by that I mean it copies itself, and by that I mean it says the same thing over and over and over and over…. This is a 5 hour story stretched out over 14 hours which describes one scene in slightly different ways a thousand times. No real purpose to anything that happens. No satisfying wrap up of an almost twenty book series… this would be the worst ending of a book series I have read but thankfully for mr Allen the spacers series exists….
I have been thoroughly disappointed and my day is ruined. Now how do I delete a whole series from my audible library?

Historia
Time and again, the vicious raiders known as the Nihil have sought to bring the golden age of the High Republic to a fiery end. Time and again, the High Republic has emerged battered and weary but victorious thanks to its Jedi protectors—and there is no monument to their cause grander than the Starlight Beacon.

one of the most unenjoyable SW books I've read.
Revisado: 01-08-22
This book is very entertaining. absolutely true. but it is only so in a way a disaster B movie is very entertaining. it is cheap, disconnected and lacks a soul... first of all I hope you haven't made any lasting connections with main characters of prior High Republic books because if you have you might as well prepare yourself to have most of them ripped from your heart and existence without purpose and without ceremony. this book reads like a walking dead season where no character has ever heard of plot armor and though "hope" is a main theme of this book it nonetheless takes every opportunity to completely and utterly empty itself of any hope whatsoever... this is a train wreck of a story and it seems Claudia simply forgot what star wars actually was and just decided to write a depressing and agonizing disaster story where the characters you spent many books getting to know are simply thrown away with a flittering of the fingers... to say the least I was thoroughly disappointed and my day is ruined. I want a refund.

Historia
For thousands of years, the Chiss Ascendancy has been an island of calm, a center of power, and a beacon of integrity. It is led by the Nine Ruling Families, whose leadership stands as a bulwark of stability against the Chaos of the Unknown Regions. But that stability has been eroded by a cunning foe who winnows away trust and loyalty in equal measure. Bonds of fidelity have given way to lines of division among the families. Despite the efforts of the Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Ascendancy slips closer and closer to civil war.

Exceptional Ending… and Beginning.

Best in the saga!
Revisado: 11-19-21
like two books in one! While one may be daunted by the fact this book is almost double the length of the others it is actually for the best as there is so much backstory covered. I enjoyed it immensely. the story was great and the narrorator was wonderful as always. the characters all came to life and I ended the saga fulfilled and satisfied. absolutely a must read.

a worthy redo
Revisado: 07-29-19
Timothy writes like a man on fire... this was an excellent book and a worthy canon version of his legends thrawn trilogy.
the only thing that keeps me from giving it a 100 is that I dont personally appreciate the telling of stories for more than one main character. but that is just me! still worth the read as i have read it 10 times already. ha!

Historia
The first book written by C.S. Lewis after his conversion, The Pilgrim's Regress is, in a sense, a record of Lewis's own search for meaning and spiritual satisfaction that eventually led him to Christianity.

Historia
The Weight of Glory features nine memorable addresses C. S. Lewis delivered during World War II. Considered by many to be his most moving address, the title essay, "The Weight of Glory," extols a compassionate vision of Christianity and includes lucid and compelling discussions on forgiveness and faith. "On Forgiveness," "The Inner Ring," and the other much-quoted pieces display Lewis's breadth of learning and spiritual insight that have made him the most influential Christian of the twentieth century.

Lewis' legendary radio broadcasts during the war years, in which he set out simply to "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times."

Historia
“I have sensed a disturbance in the Force.” Ominous words under any circumstances, but all the more so when uttered by Emperor Palpatine. On Batuu, at the edges of the Unknown Regions, a threat to the Empire is taking root - its existence little more than a glimmer, its consequences as yet unknowable. But it is troubling enough to the Imperial leader to warrant investigation by his most powerful agents: ruthless enforcer Lord Darth Vader and brilliant strategist Grand Admiral Thrawn.

Im spoiled
Revisado: 08-02-18
this is a great series from an amazing author... however i am spoiled rotten by his work... this means that I now can only fond the fault in it whereas if I were not familiar i would think it the third testament of the Bible. ha!
my only issue with this book is that it is two books mixed together... would rather have read this as two books than skip around every chapter to a totally different timeline...
other than that it was splendid... simply salubrious.
