About this listen

The legendary battle-carrier UFS Phoenix is on the run in Outer Neutral Space. Lieutenant Commander Erik Debogande and Major Trace Thakur are determined to use neutral territory to broker a peace between humanity's warring factions, away from Fleet's strong arm. But as machinations in Fleet Command send a legendary warrior from Trace's past on a sworn path to kill her, there arises in the territory of an insectoid foe an ancient enemy from the nightmares of Spiral history, bent on Phoenix's destruction….

Not quite up to the first book but still the lighthearted mood of volume one. Sufficient to make me buy volume 3 immediately, so I guess better than the average bear.

That awkward second albam

Where does Drysine Legacy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Has a feel of a Peter F Hamilton. Certainly ranks alongside.

What does John Lee bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Comfortable with the genre. Feels right.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

couldnt put it down

Stocking good read. A real page turner!

I dislike military scifi but this is a bit different. John Lee performed this very well.

The story is military but not full of shouted orders and ramrod stiff 17th century style space navy. People are people. They have characters and worries. The narrative is also clear of endless naval engagements. There are archeological mysteries and espionage and politics.

Good job

Good performance and decent engrossing story

The series just keep getting better! The more I listened to the book the more I loved it! Until it was impossible to put down! I listen to audiobooks only while driving but this one made me take it home!

The first book in the series gave the impression that there will be much more surprises to unfold in the next book and this second book actually proved that to be true! We learned so much! - at the same time I can feel it is keeping enough secrets even for the third book to be extremely entertaining! Will listen to it without a pause.

The narrator was just perfect!

Better and better!

Now... I've listened to the first 3 books in this series in one go so I cant remember with any certainty where each book ended and the next began.

For this reason I'm just going to review the 3 as a whole and post the same review for all 3 as they are essentially the same brilliant story.

This story starts right at the end of a 160 year long interstellar war. Earth had been lost and mankind was out for revenge! But now they are celebrating winning the war.

The story follows the crew of one of the newest warships given to mankind by their alien allies.

Now if you don't mind finding out what happens in the first few chapters read on... if you do stop here... you'll love these books.

-------------

Very quickly the crew of this ship find out there's a bad smell at the top of mankind's leadership and get themselves branded as renegades!

It follows the ship and crew as they flee through space with no friends, no allies, and nowhere safe to go, as they try to both clear their names and expose the military's top brass. They soon find themselves embroiled in something much bigger than anyone had ever expected and the lines between their enemies and allies quickly gets blurred.

Best Sci-Fi Series Yet!!
