About this listen

Machineries of Empire, the most exciting science fiction trilogy of the decade, reaches its astonishing conclusion!

When Shuos Jedao wakes up for the first time, several things go wrong. His few memories tell him that he's a 17-year-old cadet - but his body belongs to a man decades older. Hexarch Nirai Kujen orders Jedao to reconquer the fractured hexarchate on his behalf, even though Jedao has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general. Surely a knack for video games doesn't qualify you to take charge of an army?

Soon Jedao learns the situation is even worse. The Kel soldiers under his command may be compelled to obey him, but they hate him thanks to a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted by an enemy who knows more about Jedao and his crimes than he does himself....

just reread the entire series and it's still as powerful as it was the first time - and there are many things that read differently in second reading when you know what's going on. Emily Woo Zeller does a stellar job with the narration too.

A thrilling conclusion to a great story. Well developed characters, interesting dialogues, packed with events and compelling stories, yet is not hard to follow, devoid of bland fluff that so many other sci-fi books suffer from.

Emily Woo Zeller delivers a stellar performance. She has definitely improved a lot from the original book. Narration is varied, subtle, emotional and plain enjoyable to listen to.

Terrific story and performance
