About this listen

Magic. Steel. Blood. Victory.

The Earth’s navy is left drifting among the stars as Nyctus ships swarm, their purpose unknown as they continue their advance, burning one system after another. Humanity's extinction seems inevitable. But on one of the forgotten worlds, a boy is left behind, and he holds a talent unlike anything the galaxy has ever known.

Thorn Stellers is a mage, trained to lead and fight. With a renegade division of warriors at his side, and with weapons far different from those of old Earth, Thorn has a chance at standing up to humanity's enemies. For these mage-soldiers, armed with power that had once been thought the stuff of legend, the outcome is no longer certain.

Each Starcaster has a talent - except for Thorn, who has many. With his childhood companion Kira Wixcombe, he’ll confront a threat from beyond the stars, meeting them in the darkness with a light born of magic...and a lust for revenge.

Is his power enough? Or is Earth a forgotten memory, lost forever to history?

It was a force of will for me to turn this off and go to sleep. The story holds you enthralled for what next.

My favourite type of book. Ability progression.

This book is really well written, believable and actually treats military like it's the military, which is something all modern media fails to do.

Talking back to an officer earns reprimands and punishment, being emotional gets you killed and you gotta get over your comrades dying. It's immersive and makes sense.

Characters make sense and are well written, narration is great and if it wasn't for what I'm about to say next I would have already bought the second book so spoilers start here.

However the magic system is softer than melting butter and the main character is so insanely overpowered that the book 1 already answered the question : Will humanity survive.

Yeah it will, this one guy just destroys everything and huzzah we won. It's absolutely insane how quickly this guy goes from strong space wizard to borderline space god. The guy kills and entire space station full of aliens with his mind, game's already over for them.

Why would I want to read what happens next when I know he's just gonna get stronger and stronger, but it feels like this should be the finish line, not where book 1 ends.

Really solid book but doesn't sell me on series

slow start, fast ending, great ending though. feels like this book just started when it ended. amazing performance though.

great ending

If all books in this series all ends with a story cliffhanger it’s going to be an expensive journey.
Very intelligent story buildup and a different hero image (kind of ‘fun’).
Taylorson is brilliant for the book !
Storys with cliffhanger’s is in my world not 5 stars but this is close !

If you like S. J. Maas just in Space this is definitely something for you !
I hate spoilers so if you can effort it and this first book is too your liking just go on !
Denmark

Great
