The Imperium: a million worlds, trillions upon trillions of humans and aliens, an empire that dominates half the galaxy... an empire that is falling into chaos, revolution and civil war. Only a handful of people are struggling to keep the Imperium together, knowing that the brutality of its rule is infinitively preferable to the chaos of its fall. This is their story. Mariko and her sister were independent shippers and ace pilots, until they ran afoul of the law on a minor planet and ended up jailed and enslaved. Their new owner, Lord Fitz, seems to be nothing more than another harmless aristocrat with more money than sense - and besides, at least they can keep flying spacecraft. But Fitz isn't all he seems. He works for Imperial Intelligence, attempting to track down and destroy the Secessionist Movement before it launches a plan that threatens the very heart of the Imperium - and Mariko and her sister have just become his latest tools. But as they are drawn deeper into the seedy underside of the Imperium, one question comes to dominate their minds... Does the Imperium even deserve to survive?

The novel is a nice, if unimaginative, story, which "borrows" far too many tropes from the spy novel genre. Coupled with a narrator without a very wide vocal range, it does not manage to emerge from the mass in any meaningful way. I won't seek the sequels

Nice story, but it does not manage to shine

For those who wandered John F. Kennedy middle name was Fitzgerald. I have not finished jet I will update but I like the story a lot.

In the grim dark future the aristocracy has risen!

A fun listen, which was well performed by Genvieve, although I couldn't quite believe it when the end credits rolled and I realised the author. Besides being set in space, pretty much nothing like CNs Ark Royal series. That's not to say however that I wouldn't recommend.
It's (at least to me) a very unique story, which in terms of genre I think would have to be described at times as action/adventure/romcom.

Would recommend as a fun sci-fi adventure.

Fun listen. Although unlike other books from CN

Dissapointing. The author - having chosen to write from a female perspective - does not seem to have a clue what that actually is. The narrative assumes that all people of authority would be male and casually (and repeatedly) references rape. Honestly i was surprised that it wasnt written in 1970.

The science fiction part was fine - the overarching story fine, but the overlay of clueless male gaze on a female perspective really ruined the whole thing for me.

I really hope the author researches the female experience before he chooses to write from our pov again.

narrator was good, author is a misogynist
