About this listen

Twenty years after the elemental conflict that nearly tore apart the cosmos in The Saga of Seven Suns, a new threat emerges from the darkness. The human race must set aside its own inner conflicts to rebuild their alliance with the Ildiran Empire for the survival of the galaxy.

In Kevin J. Anderson's The Dark Between the Stars, galactic empires clash, elemental beings devastate whole planetary systems, and factions of humanity are pitted against one another. Heroes rise and enemies make their last stands in the climax of an epic tale seven years in the making.

A Great, Engaging Story

I enjoyed the saga of seven suns greatly and the the saga of shadows has begun in much the same fashion. gripping story and a broad range of interesting characters. The reading was good giving just enough subtle differences to each character as to make them feel unique. highly recommend.

A complex plot that moves rather slowly at times.

If you could sum up The Dark Between the Stars in three words, what would they be?

classic space opera

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dark Between the Stars?

The discovery of the robots on a moon.

What aspect of Mark Boyett’s performance might you have changed?

His female voices could have been better. He had a good range for males.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. It had a lot to be taken in.

Any additional comments?

I liked it well enough to get the next book in the series.
