Summary

Twenty years after the elemental conflict that nearly tore apart the cosmos in The Saga of Seven Suns, a new threat emerges from the darkness. The human race must set aside its own inner conflicts to rebuild their alliance with the Ildiran Empire for the survival of the galaxy.

In Kevin J. Anderson's The Dark Between the Stars, galactic empires clash, elemental beings devastate whole planetary systems, and factions of humanity are pitted against one another. Heroes rise and enemies make their last stands in the climax of an epic tale seven years in the making.

whispers way too much

the book is a good one but I cannot get over the narrators use of whispering every time tries to add emotion, be it angst, anger , happiness sadness, the lot and it seemed the deeper you get into the book the quieter he whispers, I kept having to turn the volume up.

Well read, less hard science and a bit of fantasy

Would you listen to The Dark Between the Stars again? Why?

Maybe, I do find Kevin J Anderson a bit repetitive. When reading his books you can often speed read a whole page because it includes no new information, just a rehash of back-story from earlier in the book of from a previous book in the series. By book 7 of the Seven Suns Saga I had got quite adept

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Shorten it down - not the audiobook so much, the original story. Everyone must be getting paid by the word...

Have you listened to any of Mark Boyett’s other performances? How does this one compare?

He's consistently good

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'm rooting for Exxos

Any additional comments?

Where are the Wentals?

K.J Anderson at his best.

Amazing gripping story that follows on from the 'Saga of the seven suns'. proper space opera, looking forward to the next book.

excellent listen

I thought this was an outstanding listen, especially for readers who have read The Saga Of Seven Suns series and are familiar with the characters and the back story. Looking forward to the next one.

worth the wait

it's starts slow going into detail about life on other planets. once you get used to the characters and plots you can really get into it.

Very good book

This is a well written and enjoyable book
Mark Boyett is a really fantastic performer and it was because I have enjoyed his other performances that I came across this book.

Thanks to all involved.
