This comes right on the heels of a rather nice review they did on Messiah: A well-balanced blend of space opera elements, especially large-scale concepts; never a dull moment; interesting characters; Swann’s straightforward writing style; rich setting; carefully crafted plot; just about [...]

Just to let fans of audio books know that I have recently signed contracts to have the Apotheosis Trilogy be released on Audible.com.
