Sanda and Biran Greeve were siblings destined for greatness. A high-flying sergeant, Sanda has the skills to take down any enemy combatant. Biran is a savvy politician who aims to use his new political position to prevent conflict from escalating to total destruction. However, on a routine maneuver, Sanda loses consciousness when her gunship is blown out of the sky. Instead of finding herself in friendly hands, she awakens 230 years later on a deserted enemy warship controlled by an AI who calls himself Bero. The war is lost.

Don't read after a super Hard Sci-fi.
Revisado: 07-02-21
Look. I'm going to apologize for this review. I'm coming off of the Expanse books reading this and I am certain it's why I am rating this so low. read it after a Fantasy book, or a Star Wars book. not after something that is super hard Sci-fi like the Expanse. I'm nitpicking all the dumb stuff about how space doesn't work that way.
Story wise I am giving up 2/3 into the book. I just can't make it this last stretch. I Kinda hate most of the characters and I'm not sure why I should care about the politics.
The world building is pretty good (aside from the less than accurate sci-fi). I did enjoy it. I actually learned more from the street rats than the politician POV.
As for the narrator, he did very well. I think I would have preferred a female/male duo but I can't really complain about Joe Jameson.
I'm planning to circle back to this in a year and give it another go once I don't have James S. A. Corey tainting my pallet.

Decent Story, Terrible Narrator
Revisado: 11-03-20
I struggled to finish because the narrator is just not good. the story kept me hooked enough to finish despite that. I doubt I'll pick up book 2 because I'm not sure if I can stomach the narrator again.

New narrator
Revisado: 11-17-16
The Narrator changed with this book. He is different and not quite as good as the one before. He is by no means bad.

Tigana is the magical story of a beleaguered land struggling to be free. It is the tale of a people so cursed by the black sorcery of a cruel, despotic king that even the name of their once-beautiful homeland cannot be spoken or remembered.
But after years of devastation, a handful of courageous men and women embark upon a dangerous crusade to overthrow their conquerors and bring back to the dark world the brilliance of a long-lost name: Tigana.

The Horns!!!!
Revisado: 06-16-16
The story is great really enjoyed it I've read it before and tried to get my wife into it by buying the audiobook. The performer was excellent. The editors for the audible version left the horns from the CDs in and it is awful. mid-fight horns interrupt and several times mid sentence during dialogue. It's the only reason I give the performance 2 stars. should this issue be resolved I'd give performance a 4.
