Download The Phoenix in Flight: Exordium, Book 1 AudioBook Free
Smith and Trowbridge illustrate the flavor of the five-book space opera Exordium as a cross between Superstar Wars and Dangerous Liaisons with a touch of the Three Stooges. Using its fast-moving blend of laughter and horror, of high-tech skiffy and the profound places of the real human heart and soul, The Phoenix in Journey launches the reader into a complex, multi-layered universe as Brandon nyr-Arkad, dissolute youngest child of the ruler of the Thousand Suns, abandons the life of service designed for him and flees in to the lawless Rift. Only slowly does he find that the planet he turned down now is based on smoking ruins as the ritual vengeance of Jerrode Eusabian against Brandon's dad, two decades in planning, culminates in an explosion of interstellar violence. With both his brothers deceased and his dad the Panarch imprisoned, Brandon becomes the Panarchy's last hope.
