Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,106
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

When Earth finally came together and fielded its first spaceborne military, Jacob didn’t hesitate to volunteer. Serving aboard a mighty starship, he’d be able to defend his planet - and his family - when, inevitably, they came again.

Summary
The fleet fights on...deeper. Farther into the black unknown of space. There is no other path, no way for the lost to go save forward.
Admiral Terrance Compton's fleet is cut off from Earth, deep in the heart of the enemy First Imperium. A third of his people have died in the year his force has been fleeing from its enemies, but he is as determined as ever to find a new home for his people, a way to save his war-torn fleet. His people are running low on everything - food, ammunition, fuel - and the brutal enemy is in relentless pursuit, marshaling all its vast resources to track down and destroy the human refugees. Compton must find a way to replenish his dwindling stores while avoiding the massive enemy forces hunting his fleet from system to system.
Compton seeks an escape, a refuge for his exhausted spacers from the relentless pursuit of their enemies. But they are about to find far more than that as they discover the truth of the distant past and a glimpse of a new future that lies before them. What they learn will shake all they believe...and force them to reconsider who they are. And what victory would look like. The fight has just begun...and the stakes are even higher than any of them had imagined.

How many "still"s in one book?
I enjoyed the story, and the excellent narration. STILL, I was distracted by how many times the word "still" was used throughout the story. It was like listening to Jean-Luc Picard talking.
Still, dispite this distraction - even annoyance - I stuck to the book and enjoyed it.
Still, I get the impression that Jay doesn't use the services of an editor. If he doesn't, he should. At times the text was self-indulgent, repetitive and overblown.
Still, it's a compelling series and I've already bought the next installment.

...Just no
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
A plot / story arc would be great!
Has Shadows of the Gods turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Have you listened to any of Jay Snyder’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I cant compare any one performance os Jay Snyder with any other. They seem to be custom crafted to the story. Jay is a fantastic performer.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment.
Any additional comments?
This story can only be described as 1 part high verbosity monologue, 2 parts battle porn, and the tiniest smidgen of a plot.
I have read and enjoyed other Jay Allan stories, but I was very disappointed in this one.
The narration, however, was awesome. Kudos to Jay Snyder for breathing life into this story.

The further they go, the more answers they find
Shadow of the Gods is Jay Allan's 2nd installment of the Crimson Worlds Refugee series. The armada, still cut off form Earth, continues to move deeper into First Imperium space and begin to find evidence of old battles that occurred on settled planets. An attempt to grow food, allows for exploration of alien ruins which reveals some answers to what happened to the First Imperium, the origin of the Regent, and even humanity's existence. With new found resolve, along with some epic battles, the slowly dwindling force finally limps off for some bit of respite.
The sci-fi elements remain largely in the realm of physics with FTL capability, energy weapons, and military robots. DNA tinkering plays prominently for why everything is the way it is. Also unfolding is a pure, diabolically evil artificial intelligence that is not only unlikely to stop, but still is intent on Earth's eventual destruction. The science geek and Mark Harman, both play pivotal roles.
The narration is well done with an excellent range of voices of both genders.

Likable characters. Unfortunately very repetitive, cliched and predictable.
Ok so apparently the only way to attack is "right down their throats" which is said pretty much every time they attack a ship. I pretty much guessed exactly what would happen very early on in this book. Also I'm really tired of how often I'm told that the burden of command is so burdening.
This could be great with a good edit. It would be a lot shorter too.
Gave this series a second glance hoping the second book would be better. But I'm not likely to continue.

What did you like best about Shadows of the Gods? What did you like least?
The story and performance are very good.
Any additional comments?
This book and book 1 of the series should be combined and a new story added that will take the book to a proper end. The story is very good but there is just too much filler. I don't like 5 minutes of telling me how they are going to shoot a flare gun, countless time spend on trivial nothings...[to the author] I get what you are saying the first, second and even third time, but that is enough.

A Gem in Disguise
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Abolutely! I purchased book 1 on sale through audible, and though it had good reviews, I have been disappointed before. It did take me about 15-20 minutes to get hooked, but once hooked, I am only disappointed I have to await book three....hopefully only another week according to the author.
What did you like best about this story?
Its good solid hard military science fiction with an interesting twist on the origins of humanity.
What about Jay Snyder’s performance did you like?
It grew on me. At first, in book 1, I wasn't sure I'd like it, but once the characters and story line filtered in, his reading became very enjoyable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Too many to pick just one.
Any additional comments?
Its a very good and exciting story line. I can't wait to find out what happens next.

Fast forward
Not a bad story, but have to fast forward through the seemingly endless repetitive internal dialogues that neither advance the story nor add to characters after a while. Blah, blah, blah. Never made it through Blood on the Stars. We’ll see how far I can get with this series. This author would benefit greatly from working with a good editor.

Starts slow but gets great!
First it starts slow and I was about to end the book halfway through. But then it gets really good and the futures store is revealed. Now I can’t wait to read the rest.
