Let me start out by saying that I was drawn in by the image-evoking name of this book. It turns out that the book is much more about the trader than the golden age of the solar clipper. If, like me, you come looking for interstellar adventure with destinations described as beautifully as the title..
Review from Villains Rule →
Bought this on a lark and liked it so much – bought a hard copy too. The story is new and fresh and performance is very well done. Actually laughed out loud while listening.
Review from Earth Fire →
The story line became very poor in the middle. Almost stopped listening to the rest of the book.
Review from Villains Rule →
I had to stop and contemplate this book before rating it. Jackson Blackwell is a villain consultant. Being a villain from what appears to be a dimension like ours, he uses his knowledge of stories–whether movies, books, television, or otherwise–to live by, and advise other villains by. When he’s betrayed and cast adrift, he finds..
The D-Villain series started off promising. They were a fun listen, nothing spectacular, but still fun. I think the fun is all gone by now.

This was a fun book to listen to!Jeffrey Kafer narrates it drolly,which is perfect. There are a lot of nods to our favrite book and tv shoes. (A shout out to those two brothers that hunt monsters and their yellow eyed demon!) There is a lot of double crossing and you don’t really know who..
Most enjoyable. The protagonist, Brad Madrid is a very strong character. Action packed and there are many tense moments. Well written by Glynn Stewart and Terry Mixon. Jeffrey Kafer as always performed well. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
Even though I thought the concept was good in this book as being something different, in the end, he just could not bring it all together in this book. It was entertaining. Did the fighter pilots and bomber pilots get wiped out again…..yes, and again. Some of the themes are starting to get a little..
Review from Ruins of Empire →
I’ve been listening to the series. got hooked with Book one. Excellent “yarn” and excellent narration from Luke Daniels. Then started book 2, no Daniels, performance wasn’t near as good, and considerably slower tempo. not good. the story also started to get repetitious, with numerous, repeats on how “they were the best , ” always..
I am hooked on this series, the author, and the narrator. There are many things that I really like and only a few that I think could be better. For the most part, this is well written and with a plot and story. The theme is sort of the same….against all odds…they win. The fighter..
