About this listen

A young hero journeys beyond the edge of the known universe in a desperate bid to save the galaxy from the powers of evil.

David Artan is a dock rat on a poor fringe world where he takes every job he can and prize-fights to earn enough money to get off world. When he's hired to guide a boat crewed by an interstellar mafia, he comes face to face with an ancient power—the Veil—that was pivotal to a civil war that ended decades ago.

David is "attuned" to this power and was almost killed by agents of the dead and defeated Tyrant who nearly enslaved the galaxy. He's rescued by an Adept of the Paragon order, warrior scholars that study the power and seek to keep any from upsetting the balance that keeps all life in order.

David is given the chance to journey beyond the Veil and into another dimension where he can claim a stone of immense power and return it to base reality to wield it as a weapon against the Tyrant. The world beyond the Veil is nothing like what David knows, and he'll be opposed by insidious evil, self-doubt, and sabotage from the very people who are supposed to help him.

While beyond the Veil, David learns that a Conjunction is nigh, an event that could sunder the galaxy if evil forces succeed. David must claim a Veil stone deep in the other dimension before the Tyrant's agents can beat him to the prize.

Terrific!!

Space Mafia & magic! Finally a scifi book with a twist. Richard Fox's "Tyr" series was excellent but I think this Tops it! He is an incredible author & his story telling & world building is amazing. Especially since the "GE" universe is taking a nose dive in my opinion, and very unfortunate.

Please keep this series coming Mr. Fox!!

Another great Richard Fox series

I'm not quite done yet with the book, but so far I've really been enjoying it. I haven't found a single book so far by this author that I haven't liked. The only bad remarks I have is the audio production isn't as easy to listen to as most. I listen in the car using speakers because I don't like wearing ear buds while driving. The audio goes up and down from the narrator as he does the characters. Sometimes it's very difficult to hear him depending on the character voices he's doing. Other than that I would recommend this series.

This was a fun ride

Reminiscent of SW and Battle Beyond the Stars, but written better. Thoroughly enjoyed the ride. I’m looking forward to the sequel. It’s worth the time.
Five Stars in all categories.

A new series with and old inspiration.

This book is a homage to Star wars and though it wears its influnces on its sleeve it will still pull you in with a gripping story and fun characters
