About this listen

Some bad ideas go back a long way, and this one goes all the way back to the original home planet: Someone's god told them they had a right to more territory - so they figure they can take what they want by divine right.

In the far future among the colonized worlds of the galaxy, there's a war going on between the majority of civilized worlds and a colonial theocracy. Trystin Desoll grows up fighting against religious fanatics and becomes a hero, a first-class pilot, then, amazingly, a spy.

What do you do if you're a relatively humane soldier fighting millions of suicidal volunteers on the other side who know that they are utterly right, and you are utterly wrong, with no middle ground? Trystin Desoll has an idea.

Different, enjoyable and quite unexpected

There are some great books in the Plus Catalogue, and some not so good ones.

This was definitely in the good section, and although I had slight misgivings about the story in the first few hours, I’m really pleased I stayed with it.
From a desperate situation at the beginning our hero struggles through battles and his own doubts as to the efficacy and reason that this continuous war rages on.
The story is very well read, and the plot moves along nicely throughout, no obvious issues with the production or quality, and unlike so many books at the moment, where the end is left open and the listener unsatisfied, this has a beginning and a neat ending.

If like me you enjoy your sci-fi stories, then I think you will enjoy this.
