About this listen
Contains books one and two of the Ember War series.
The Ember War, book 1: The Earth is doomed. Humanity has a chance.
In the near future, an alien probe arrives on Earth with a pivotal mission: to determine if humanity has what it takes to survive the impending invasion by a merciless armada. The probe discovers Marc Ibarra, a young inventor who holds the key to a daring gambit that could save a fraction of Earth's population. Humanity's only chance lies with Ibarra's ability to keep a terrible secret and engineer the planet down the narrow path to survival. Earth will need a fleet. One with a hidden purpose. One strong enough to fight a battle against annihilation.
The Ember War is the first installment in an epic military sci-fi series. If you enjoyed A Hymn Before Battle by John Ringo and The Last Starship by Vaughn Heppner, then you'll love this explosive adventure with constant thrills and high stakes from beginning to end.
The Ruins of Anthalas, book 2: An ancient holocaust holds the key to humanity's survival.
Only a sliver of mankind survived the Xaros invasion. With Earth's defenses in ashes, nothing can stop the aliens' inevitable return. Hope arrives through a cryptic message from a long-lost alien race, promising the means to rebuild the shattered space fleet. Captain Valdar takes one of the last strike carriers, the Breitenfeld, and his shell-shocked crew on a desperate mission to the dead world. Unfortunately humans aren't the only power that received the ancient message....
The Ruins of Anthalas is the second book in The Ember War Saga, a military sci-fi space opera. If you like David Weber and John Ringo with a touch of Isaac Asimov, then you'll love this fast-paced and captivating adventure where humanity survives at the edge of a knife.

Very good space saga let down not by the narration but by the narrators accents.

But for me it lacked emotion and just followed a path. In addition, given the scale of the events everyone seems to just shrug and crack on. Most of humanity lost? Suppose we should get a sandwich or something.
I listened the the combined book 1 and 2 version and I was surprised when book 1 ended as it hadn’t felt like event had ramped up to a crescendo.
It would also be nice to have some dialogue tags other than:
“Blah blah “ character 1 said.
“Such and such” character 2 said.
“Blah blah blah” character 1 said.
They’re in the same dialogue. Felt the “he said she said” got a bit much.
Perhaps the characters might exclaim, or whisper, or cry out once in a while. It might just be something I noticed due to the way Luke Daniels says these non-dialogue elements - once I noticed them I struggled to not hear them.
Good but a bit shallow

The performance is very good with the exception of the Scottish and Australian accents! otherwise, the actor delivers a solid narration, nailing the fear, tension and frustration of the characters. dropped a star for the accents though!
looking forward to the next instalment.
Great Story, Good Performance.
