Shadows of the Fall

Shadow of Terra, Book 2 (The Duchy of Terra, Book 8)

By: Glynn Stewart

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

A Duchy of Terra spin-off series.

Fifty thousand years ago, the Precursors broke the universe. Now, great powers and small alike fight over their wreckage.

But in the midst of the chaos, there is a question no one asks: why?

Morgan Casimir, commander of the A!Tol Imperial cruiser Defiant, has seen the works of the Precursor aliens known as the Alava. She has seen their accidents threaten worlds and consume entire star fleets. Charged by her empress to prevent a conspiracy of profiteers from finding and using a lost fleet of Alava warships, she knows unimaginable catastrophe looms if she fails. With her lover, xenoarcheologist Dr. Rin Dunst, at her side, she is sent to a hot zone on the edge of war to once again achieve the impossible.

But as they search along a border flaring in violence, Morgan discovers that if the worst comes to pass, her orders are to destroy the ships rather than allow them to be taken...and she realizes that there just might be a reason seemingly godlike aliens lost an entire fleet.

Have enjoyed this series since the first book. This part did not disappoint. Love the characters and the story.

Another Barn Burner!

Definitely not a stand-alone novel. I am happily prepared to go back 3 or 4 books to re-listen, partly to better understand the context and partly for the sheer exhilaration. I really like the narrator she has a great voice, not saying it's make or break but she can read technical data and make it sound fresh.

Cliffhanger alert!

The series seems to be coming to its conclusion, but with a scarier enemy than ever imagined. Will Captain Casmier and her friends be able to save the day and thwart the threats to the universe's intelligent life?

I've been enjoying the series of books and the storyline. Onward to book 9.

I've enjoyed the voice actor immensely as well.

This book gives me halo flashbacks

Really enjoyed the story but it seems a lot like the forerunner and the flood from halo added into the series
