Audio Book Review

Soldier of Empire is a brilliantly narrated, full-throttle space adventure that grabs you from the first scene and refuses to let go. The British narration is crisp, expressive, and perfectly matched to the high-stakes world of Guy Erma and Teodor. Characterisation is strong without a hint of exaggeration, pacing is smooth and natural, and the production is impeccably clean. Most importantly, it’s incredibly engaging—fresh, original fiction with zero filler and tons of heart. It’s the kind of audiobook you finish and immediately want the next chapter. And honestly, if your pulse doesn’t spike during the Scavengii pirate scenes, check your batteries. Audio Book Review Nov 2025
