Summary

A shackled Earth, ruled by an unstoppable tyrant. An exiled son, and a one-way trip across the galaxy. A perfect world, their last hope for survival.

Vice admiral Isaac Gallant is the heir apparent to the First Admiral, the dictator of the Confederacy of Humanity. Unwilling to let his mother’s tyranny stand, he joins the rebellion and leads his ships into war against the might of his own nation.

Betrayal and failure, however, see Isaac Gallant and his allies captured. Rather than execute her only son, the First Admiral instead decides to exile them, flinging four million dissidents and rebels through a one-shot wormhole to the other end of the galaxy.

There, Isaac finds himself forced to keep order and peace as they seek out a new home without becoming the very dictator he fought against - and when that new home turns out to be too perfect to be true, he and his fellow exiles must decide how hard they are prepared to fight for paradise… against the very people who built it.

Critic reviews

"A failed rebellion against a tyrannical space confederacy is exiled to a remote corner of the galaxy in this political space drama, the first full novel in Stewart’s Exile series (after the novella Ashen Stars). In the colonized cosmos of 2386, Isaac Gallant, the son of the dictatorial president of the interstellar Confederacy, is a high-ranking officer in the Confederacy fleet. He’s also secretly part of a rebellion against the Confederacy. Alongside rebellion leader Amelie Lestroud, a former movie star, Isaac helps to colonize a verdant planet. Moral dilemmas and political intrigue follow as they struggle to establish a new government on an idyllic world that might belong to someone else. Though there are few complicated relationships, the diverse cast of characters is refreshing, and Isaac and Amelie’s agonies over their growing romantic feelings are convincing. At the center of the story is the human will to adapt to new modes of existence. This fast-paced starfaring adventure succeeds with a thrilling mix of space battles and tender emotions." (Publishers Weekly)

technical

very good storyline and characterisation but unless you are technically savvy you will soon get lost. The author, I think, has forgotten that many people don't know what a le Grange point is, or understand the intricacies of time dilation while travelling at multiples of the speed of light.
if you do understand these details then it is a very good book and well worth a listen.

All hail the Republic of exile

All hail the Republic of exile

I’ve read many military sci-fi books and I would say this is a good one I like the characters I like the setting tech is not too difficult to understand.
The story is not too complicated and flows pretty quickly and was enjoyable
The author reminded me a little bit of David Webber and Richard Fox both of whom have written great military sci-fi I think this series has potential to be a really good series I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

Exile

Story was fine, characters lacked the depth of many Glyn Stewart books. The reader was also not the quality of delivery of most Glyn Stewart books

Wooden narration

Not worth listening to, opted for a cheap voice actor.

Refund requested - shame as a good story

Can't wait wait more

The story takes a little to get going. but once it does I just wanted more. couple of small performance voice changes but nothing that doesn't make you chuckle. On to the next one
