About this listen

Far from the fury of The Great War, the citizens of the Liberty Federation live in peace and prosperity.

The Dawn Empire’s light is fading. Admiral Ikson Koto has one chance to renew the flame before it is extinguished forever. To save the Empire from a slow death, he must destroy the Federation’s fleet in one fell swoop. His plan calls for a brutality that has never been seen before.

For Lieutenant Shannon Reeve, the horrors of battle still burn strong in her mind. Her posting to a fighter squadron in the paradise of the Federation’s premier base, Azure Anchorage, should be a welcome respite. Instead, she will witness her fears come true as it comes under a relentless assault by Koto’s overwhelming Imperial forces.

Deep in the expanse of space known as the Great Void, a place far from home, civilian engineer Winston Grant has been tasked with upgrading a lonely base’s defences. Soon, he will find himself holding the line in a desperate last stand against an armada.

Both will play their parts in these darkest of days.

The golden age of the Federation will soon end, and instead be engulfed in the raging fire of war as Koto’s grand plan comes to fruition.

Thrilling fighter combat. Brutal infantry battles. Heart-breaking nobility. An epic science fiction retelling of Pearl Harbor and Wake Island. Download now.

Great combo of history and Sci-fi

The Great War series is an almost beat for beat retelling of WWII in space. Ralph Kern does a masterful job of renaming things in the book so the reader can make the connection. So far he has gone from Dunkirk to Pearl Harbor, and he hits all the high points of the conflict. I look forward to his take on D-day, island hopping, the African campaigns and more. I can’t recommend this series enough.

I hated Virtual Voice narrating this book. It can’t get pronunciation correct based on context of the sentence. It can’t get the emotion right in a conversation. It would give very cheery responses to sad moments. It didn’t know the cadence of some sentences and made the conversations or action confusing

Virtual Voice is not ready for this kind of thing. If I see Virtual Voice is narrating a book, I will probably skip it. Within the first half an hour of this book, I was ready to stop, but I loved the story so much I continued.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
