About this listen
An ancient alien race from humanity’s past has awakened after thousands of years. Their true name has been forgotten, but at this moment in time, they are known as the Fallen. And they have decided humanity’s fate. Extermination.
Imperial Death Dealer Ethan Wolfe has been dispatched to kill a terrorist at the edge of the galaxy. It was a simple mission until the Emperor and his Lord Commander outlawed and condemned him to death, without any reason.
But as he goes on the run, with Hope Adair, a former smuggler, Ethan learns that his dead father was not an archaeologist but an agent of the Empire with a terrible secret. And that secret will lead him on a quest to find an ex-Imperial soldier and a being called the Guardian. Little does he know that he has a big role to play in the coming Great War with the Fallen.
Meanwhile, Lord Jonas Ares, hero of the Machine War and Lord Commander, has been aware of the Fallen for some time but before he can engage them. He must root out the human traitors. As he mobilizes his entire war machine, he realizes that the infiltration of these traitors is deeper than he could ever have imagined. And the problem is that time is running out….
He is guided by an entity of light called Michael, and with his help the Lord Commander has the element of surprise. But not all things go according to plan.
In his obsession to find the human traitors working with the Fallen, he discovers that there is an ancient relic known as the Gateway that is about to be activated in a world known as Hades. And worse of all, it appears that the Church of the Crusaders is working with the Fallen.
It's up to Lord Ares to figure out how to deal with the Fallen and their human allies before it’s too late—an ancient alien race from humanity’s past has awakened after thousands of years. Their true name has been forgotten, but at this moment in time, they are known as the Fallen. And they have decided humanity’s fate. Extermination.

After more than 20 years in special operations, USMC Gunnery Sergeant Wolf Mathison wasn’t looking forward to retirement when—implanted with an experimental artificial intelligence—he deployed on his last mission with a platoon of Marine Raiders being sent to the Jovian moon Europa. The USS Jefferson was destroyed en route, though, and only Mathison and three other marines survived. Trapped in stasis, they were hurled into the outer reaches of the solar system, where they wouldn’t be found for hundreds of years.

Everything was perfect until he lost one case—the case where he also lost his brother. So Finch retired. From magic. From PI work. From everything.

Spending an extended amount of time in close quarters has left most of the crew at each other’s throats, and put their veteran captain in the position of constantly playing peacemaker. As bad as things are, they get markedly worse when The Camelot unknowingly picks up a stowaway: a shapeshifting alien monster who boards their ship and begins killing the crew one by one.

For years, pilots who merely looked like soldiers were adequate. They filled the mechs. They filled roles. They supported Spann and his genetic offshoot of pure-blooded warriors known as the Superba. Spann's dream of absolute power ends with a single, crushing blow as a new enemy strikes at the Realm, leaving no survivors—followed by a mad dash to find fighters who can stand up in the old ways, using the mechs gifted to humanity by their oldest allies. Even in the midst of war, there is hope.

Great Story lots of fun
Great Story, lots of fun, very very enjoyable. Narrator takes it to the next level bringing it above an audio book and just shy of the 8 episode Amazon Prime mini series to surly follow.

Great story, fun and unique
Fast paced story with unique style of story telling made even better by the narrator. Loved the voices for each character! Maldonado takes you on a wild ride with not your typical good versus evil story. Lord Ares “the good guy” does somethings to protect the Imperium that are just plain maniacal, it’s brilliantly done. New content was great. I recommend this book.

This story is insanely fun!
Great story, epic battles, biblical lore, ancient aliens, good guys that are complex and "very" flawed, hateful bad guys--I mean hateful! You need to listen to Cardinal Kraft to get what I mean! All brought to life by a fantastic narrator. Really enjoyable story and anxiously waiting for book 2!

Listen up.
I had already read the physical book and loved it. With an opportunity to hear a different ending I jumped on the audio version. This book is fantastic, just like its predecessor, but this time it was even more impressive. The narrator speaks clearly, uses didifferent voices and it's a blast to hear. High recommendation, listen to it. Hell buy the book and follow along and have a physical copy for your shelves.

When everyone is the enemy, fight harder
As a narrative-driven story about conflict and origins, this one provides adequate settings, characters, and action. The voice work is commendable, as are the motivations of various factions. The characters themselves are somewhat one-dimensional with dialogue providing mostly reaction to the scenes unfolding around them rather than contributing to the immersion. There is a fair amount of just-in-time background information offered up at key points. If you enjoy the fight-first and ask tough questions later style of conflict resolution, this might be the book for you. [disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.3x]
