You can't go home

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would and do recommend this series and this book to my friends. Terry writes great space opera and Veronica gives it life through her narration.

What did you like best about this story?

Essentially, this story needed to tie up loose ends at home and clear the decks for what I assume will be epic battles with rebel forces.
Although some points of resistance have been left on the worlds visited and in the court, these seeds could flourish into networks for spies and counter imperial efforts. More plots and story lines.

Which character – as performed by Veronica Giguere – was your favorite?

Veronica still has a lock on the princess in voice and attitude.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I didn't find my self as offended by the bad guys as in book 4. I hope the rebel forces can generate a really hateful opposition for the admiral and royals.

Any additional comments?

Terry keep them coming. You have a lock on this style of story.

Terry Mixon and Veronica Giguere make a great team

This was an excellent book and was superbly narrated. The story kept you listening for more as the characters pulls you into their world. I can't wait for the next book in the series, or any other book by Terry Mixon.

YES!

By far my favorite Empire of Bones novel so far! This book paid off some of the things I've been looking forward to from book 1, and it delivered in a big way. I was pleased to see some of the secondary and tertiary characters we've seen come closer to the forefront in this book, and just... wow. The ending was awesome!

I am pumped for book 6!

A well executed continuation to this space opera

If you have read or listened to any of the previous books in the Empire of Bones Saga, you'll enjoy this installment as well. The series, and this book, is a fun well crafted story, with characters that are well formed. However; this is not a story with gritty characters and a deep dive into what drives them. It is much more surfacy than that. But because it is, it can move quickly from success to success that is satisfying and lends to the charm of the series.

I left a rating of 4 on narration because while the narrator is very good, the differentiation in voice and characters could be improved and in my opinion, was a distraction from the story.

Everything You want in a space Opera!

Again, I look forward to the next book. I enjoyed this novel as well as the rest in the series. Combined, story and characters building you find a great novel with adventure in space exploration, which has you wondering what's next in the series. I liked and recommend this as a excellent Space Opera Series.

Good military action Sci Fy

I listen to audio books while I am driving almost exclusively, sometimes a few days between listens. Therefore I judge a book, whether it is print, e-book or audio based on whether it keeps my interest, has continuity, and if I can remember the story after being away from it for a period of time.

This book did all those things and more, it is book 5 in the series and I will admit that I had not read any of the previous books. This one is full of action and the characters are well developed even the ones that you want to hate.

I liked this book so much that I am going to get the first 4 books and listen to them to find out more of the back story and I expect that I will enjoy them as much.
I received this book for free as part of a promotion buy the author in exchange for an honest review.
