Shadowline

Starfishers, Book 1

By: Glen Cook

Narrated by: Oliver Wyman

The vendetta in space had started centuries before "Mouse" Storm was born, with his grandfather's raid on the planet Prefactlas, the bloodbath that freed the human slaves from their Sangaree masters. But one Sangaree survived--the young Norborn heir, the man who swore vengeance on the Storm family and their soldiers in a carefully mapped plot that would take generations to fulfill. Now Mouse's father, Gneaus, must fight for an El Dorado of wealth on the burning half of the planet Blackworld.

As the great private armies of all space clash on the narrow Shadowline that divides inferno from life-sheltering shade, Gneaus' half brother, Michael, plays his traitorous games, and a man called Death pulls the deadly strings that threaten to entrap them all--as the Starfishers Trilogy begins.

Beautiful Performance

the performance of this book was beautifully done. I like his books and to have them read with such great performances of the different characters really brought the book to life!

Too convoluted to form any attachment

Glen Cook made it difficult to gain any traction with the primary story arc, by creating too many characters interacting, too soon. Having the story bouncing back and forth in time and a lot of the characters changing their names also made following the story much too difficult. Additionally, while the series title is Starfishers, there is very little participation from them in the story.

Oliver Wyman performance was okay but his tendency to start and end each chapter with an overly dramatic emphasis was bizarre; especially so since there was no reason to do it.

I'll not be continuing the series.

Starfisher Trilogy: Shadowline

I loved the story, loved listening. I've started this book three times but my busy and active life always prevented me from completing it. I will definitely purchase and listen to the next two books in the series.
