Eclipse of Empire

Taken to the Stars, Book 3

By: J.N. Chaney, Rick Partlow

Narrated by: John Pirhalla

Accidental revolutionaries.

Charlie and the others hadn’t set out to free the galaxy, but fate had other plans...and so did the ancient AI robot, Lenny, who brought them together. And brought them to Sanctuary.

Now, a whole planet of Copperell refugees looks to Charlie for leadership, and his first task as their commander is to find weapons to arm the AI-guided zoo ships that are their only military fleet. And only the Anguilar have the weapons they need.

For once, the operation goes off without a hitch, but during the mop-up, they discover the secret of a terrible superweapon the Anguilar have spent the last 10 years constructing: The Nova Eclipse.

It can destroy entire worlds, lay waste to solar systems, and it’s already claimed its first victims.

And the next target is Strada.

The Eclipse is massive, heavily armed, and always accompanied by a deadly escort of Anguilar cruisers, and even with the weapons they stole, they’d never be able to take the force on in a stand-up fight.

Charlie and the others have no choice but to do things the sneaky way, infiltrate the Eclipse…and destroy it from within.

Or die trying.

Waiting for the next episode.

Great story and great character development. Hope another story will be released soon. Keep up the good work.

Fast paced

Good characters, fast paced battle, small band rebels against empire. It’s like Star Wars just before the movie series. Not force or jedis yet.

Thoroughly Enjoying this Series!

This series is an unexpected surprise that I am thoroughly enjoying. If you like sci-fi with humor laced throughout the storytelling you will enjoy this book. Especially if you were a teen in the 80s.

The Saga Continues

I am so glad I found this book. I'm even more glad I found it after the author has written several books so I can binge listen. If you like books like Expeditionary Force By Craig Alanson or the Undying Mercenaries Series then you will like this. Its fun and yet dramatic. I wished one of my favorite characters in this book didn't die but it made for a great listen. Straight onto the next book!!

the primary character

one of the best books that I have heard. great story, great voice actor. can't wait for book 4.
