Publisher's Summary
The Imperium has reigned for 4,000 years...but are its days numbered?
For four millennia, the 16 planets of the Imperium sector have served as a bastion of peace against the Chaosic Regions. The Imperium's legacy can be attributed to the formidable military power of the Stratus, the enforcers of the Supreme and the Senate. However, as is often the case with empires, it is the smallest cracks that threaten to shatter their foundations.
Could this be the beginning of the end?
A dishonorably discharged stratusaire struggles to recall why he was expelled from the only life he has ever known. Now working as a mercenary on the sector's most profitable mining planet, he is haunted by mysterious memories. Before long, he finds himself in conflict with the very government he once served.
Can he survive being pursued by those he was once trained alongside?
Simultaneously, the royal heir to a planetary throne is confronted with the harsh realities of her family's rule. As a result of her curiosity, she finds herself entangled in matters of statecraft that surpass her status and experience.
Will she prioritize her family's legacy or the lives of those under her rule?

Terrible voice acting ruins a story
A friend got me into the series because they really liked the book. the writing style is ok, even though the first chapter is hammering into you the main character is an annoying prick on purpose.
The adventure seems like its going places.
the voice acting ruins it for me, though. I was excited at the idea of an author telling their own story, but the poise and pacing is all over the place.
keep it to a paper version
