I, Warden

The Last Raptori, Book I

By: Charles Brass

Narrated by: Brian Callanan

He’s ready to complete his training. But first, he must defeat an invading army, or die trying.

As 14-year-old Maels Raptori prepares to enter the toughest warden academy in the League of Cells, sudden societal collapse threatens one of the Skein’s three anchor-worlds and the billions of lives beneath it. He’s shaken, but as the lone survivor of a species-ending plague, he confidently draws on his skills to navigate the unexpected turmoil–and fails miserably.

Then a murderous, technologically superior enemy crashes upon Earth. Captured and enslaved, Maels despairs as all he’s known is destroyed and his friends butchered. His total failure burns through him like the enemy leader’s venom, injected with her bite.

Now crippled by the poison seeping through his veins and beset by a growing temptation to accept his fate, can Maels defeat his tormentors and return to Earth in time to save himself and humanity from complete annihilation?

I, Warden is the captivating first book in the thrilling The Last Raptori science-fiction series. If you enjoy heroes standing against overwhelming odds until triumph or death, then you’ll find Charles Brass’s novel a riveting listen.

Thrilling Original SciFi Adventure

This book starts with an original premise, and that is the main character isn't a human. in fact, humans really kind of have a background role in this. It starts as a coming of age story with Meals, as the last of his species, trying to become a warden, which seems like a space sheriff. But it's more than that, twists and turns that will keep you engaged and on the edge of your seat. I thoroughly enjoyed the listen and look forward to book two.

This was the first book I've heard narrated by Callahan, and he did a fantastic job. He had distinct voices for all the characters and really sold the story.

Overall, it was a great listen and I highly recommend it.

I received this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
