From the Edge of Apocalypse:

Deception Well is a world on the edge, home to an isolated remnant surviving at the farthest reach of human expansion. All across the frontier, other worlds have succumbed to the relentless attacks of robotic alien warships, while hundreds of light years away, the core of human civilization - those star systems closest to Earth, known as the Hallowed Vasties - have all fallen to ruins. Powerful telescopes can see only dust and debris where once there were orbital mega-structures so huge they eclipsed the light of their parent stars

No one knows for sure what caused the Hallowed Vasties to fail, but a hardened adventurer named Urban intends to find out. He has the resources to do it. He commands a captive alien starship fully capable of facing the dangers that lie beyond Deception Well.

With a ship's company of explorers and scientists, Urban is embarking on a voyage of rediscovery. They will be the first in centuries to confront the hazards of an inverted frontier as they venture back along the path of human migration. Their goal: to unravel the mystery of the Hallowed Vasties and to discover what monstrous life might have grown up among the ruins.

I normally enjoy large-scale, hard sci-fi and space opera, and this one had some interesting twists and concept for sure, but somehow it did not capture me. Maybe the characters were a bit shallow. Maybe the story was a little one-dimensional. Maybe the narration was a tad monotonous. Or maybe I did it an unjustice by listening to it immediately after listening to one of the grand masters of the genre. My recommendation: Give it a go, maybe it is for you!

Did not really do it for me

There are worse and there are definitely better.
Overall it did bet me hooked and there is much to go on about but I do not think I will go for the next book.
It is a space opera in a post-apocalyptic setteig, after humans expanded and faced a aggressive alien vioship fleet they go looking for what remained at the core. It feels more like book 2 or 3 in a series.

Ok but not great.

It's a galactic joy ride of a bunch of narcissistic, xenophobic children on a hijacked ship that do things for no reason I can really track... The culture is supposed to be governed by consensus and yet everything that happens in this book is due to every single one of them taking unilateral decisions or plotting behind everyone else's back...
But the world is interesting, there is a misery to it that is fresh and not "done to death"... A good read but I"m not sure if I want to continue, something tells me it is only going to go downhill from here.

Great story, weak characters.

I really wanted to enjoy this book. The story premise was great, I wanted to know what happened. But oh my god after two hours I had to give up. The narrator is I swear AI, robotic, hardly any inflection, weird pauses, all the men depicted in the same tone, and quite obviously unable to do any accents (many good narrators of sci fi understand that it is EXCEEDINGLY unlikely that everyone will sound American.) I note someone in a review getting a chip on their shoulder about 'men' and female narrators. I am female. I don't care if narrators are male or female, they have to be good - and this one is NOT. I will try to read this story on kindle despite being nearly blind because I did like the premise.

terrible ai type narration

This is the first book of the author’s I have read and enjoyed this sub light space opera with Nanotech and broken gods.

A pleasant surprise
