About this listen

At the heart of humanity

At the beginning of everything

Hope can be born… or destroyed

For months, Princess Lorraine Adamant has fled from star system to star system in a desperate attempt to evade the minions of her uncle, the man who murdered her entire family to seize power in the Star Kingdom of Adamant.

Thanks to the crew of her ship and her loyal bodyguard, Vigo Jarret, Lorraine has finally reached her goal: the homeworld, Earth. There, she plans to lay her case before the United Worlds, the oldest and greatest of humanity’s nations.

But to an ancient democracy, the trials of an obscure kingdom are hardly relevant. Lorraine must turn her mind from war to diplomacy, to convince the homeworld to honor its oaths and save her Kingdom.

One way… or another.

Superb space opera with great strong characters. Lorraine is on Earth seeking their help in stopping uncle's coup. This part of the story is full of political manoeuvring and intrigue. The second half involves an intriguing mission and a shocking discovery. Narration is excellent, easy to listen too. Highly recommend this series.

Overall story was good and well thought out, however, the narration was poor. Multiple time you can hear them take an intake of breath before reading, their flow is very start stop and ruins the feel. Worst part is the voice used for the Al, we have AI now that talks basically as a human and yet for the story that is set in the future where technically is centuries more advanced they decided an appropriate voice would be.. Well it's hard to describe but basically ever word feels like it's own sentence. Think I will need to get these on Kindle to read.

Difficult to finish very unique narration
