Starship Rebellion Paragon Space, Book 3

By: Jarom Strong

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

A thrilling military space opera adventure

It looks like I started a rebellion.

And the only way to end it… is to burn this empire to the ground.

I tighten my grip on the pistol at my side, as my fleet closes in on the vast space station. The Paragon took my home from me. Now I’m going to take it back.

I never wanted to be a leader. But when my crew fought off an army of vanguard shock troops and flesh-eating rippers, we sparked a rebellion. And that rebellion spread like wildfire across the stars.

A lot of dangerous people want to see the Paragon fall. Smugglers, pirates, mercenaries… They’re ruthless and divided but they have one thing in common—they seem to think I’m in charge.

As the Paragon’s authority falters and even deadlier enemies try to seize control, can I forge a band of outlaws into a force that can topple an empire?

There’s no going back for me now. I was made for war. Still, I always hoped I could be more than a killer. Always dreamed that the galaxy could be free. But if I want to see that future, I have to win this fight. I have to become the monster they created. One last time…

An absolutely thrilling science-fiction adventure of tension, intrigue and hard-hitting action, the Paragon Space series is perfect for fans of James S.A. Corey, Marko Kloos and Craig Alanson.

Critic reviews

“Compelling and vivid… A high-powered, electric story… will keep military SF fans reading!” Jeremy Szal, author of Stormblood

“Heists, super-soldiers, monsters, mysteries, there’s something for everyone here… with a verve and energy that sweeps you along.” M.R. Carey, bestselling author of The Girl with All the Gifts

Fantastic Trilogy

I devoured this series and will really miss these characters now that I'm done. The whole experience, from the story to the narrator's performance was 10 out of 10 for me. I would love to see this made into a movie. I'm keeping my eye on this brilliant new author and can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

Addictive Action-filled audiobook

This audiobook is absolutely addictive. Vanguard: Annihilation wraps up the trilogy so beautifully I got chills.

The narrator does an amazing job with the different character voices, especially during the intense, action-filled scenes. You can really feel the bond between the crew members.

Jarom's writing translates perfectly to audio - the pacing kept me glued to my headphones. Whether you're commuting or just need something to binge, this delivers. Military sci-fi at its finest with characters that feel like real people you'd want to fight alongside.

If you loved books 1 and 2, this conclusion will blow you away. Total masterpiece.

Satisfying and epic conclusion to the series

Story and narration were excellent like the first two. This one wraps up the story in a grand final fight that had a much larger scope than the previous books. It was sad to say goodbye to the characters.

3/3 reward incoming to finishers

I would say stories that may be comparable would be StarCraft, Stargate, and Firefly.

Enjoyable listen. Would recommend.
