About this listen
A wildly successful innovator to rival Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, Vivian Liao is prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action. On the eve of her greatest achievement, she seeks to outrun people who are trying to steal her success.
In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, she sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, she is catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine.
The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider - until Vivian Liao arrives. Trapped between the Pride - a ravening horde of sentient machines - and a fanatical sect of warrior monks who call themselves the Mirrorfaith, Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind.

“A classic space opera that impossibly becomes a thrilling dungeon crawl fantasy through a universe we’ve never seen before. So smart it makes me jealous.” (Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times best-selling author)

Space Opera for the 21st century
A magnificent pulpy tale that takes the protagonist on a journey to confront The Empress of Forever.
Along the way she picks up a merry band of characters that enhance the story no end.
If you like Space Opera than this is for you.

Interesting but difficult to visualise
I found this particular book hard to visualise and set the scene. Perhaps I missed some of the context or my listening was a little disjointed but it was the first listen where I don’t feel I was able to build an effective vision of the world and all its characters in my minds eye.

What a wonderful Story
I originally put myself off of this book but being really keen to find something to listen to I gave it a chance and I have really enjoyed it, one of the best stories I have found since Patrick Rothfuss's The King killer chronicles. I am hoping for a series of this universe as it is definatley deserving.
