Saxon Andrew's Universe
ashes of the realm
The first book of Saxon Andrew’s second Sci-Fi series covers the period after the destruction of the Stars Realm. The five provinces were left behind and civil war broken out. Hundreds of thousands of planets have been decimated and millions of others blasted back into primitive technology. After two thousand years, the survivors are barely eking out an existence in what remains of the once powerful Realm. Out of the ashes a young human archer will arise as a leader in the fight for survival of his people as well as the giant Zord that fly in the skies of the Provincial Capital, El Prado. But problems on the planet pale in comparison to the Raiders from the stars, those are who must be faced by the brave archers if they are to survive.
As revenge on the Empire, King Daulun Jongo has destroyed the planet Haldale, killing millions as an example of what to expect should they interfere again and now is on a mission to find ships that destroyed one of his fleets. Things don’t look good, and the Empire will soon discover a much greater threat in who is really controlling Jongo.
The Empire is caught up in a civil war and survival is uncertain for many reasons including an invader lurking in the shadows waiting to see who comes out the victor before they zero in to attack.
The action continues in Greyson’s Revenge as the brave fighters and Zord on Bristone struggle to survive overwhelming odds and bring peace to a war weary universe.
In the third book of the Ashes of the Realm series, the Algeans have been found by the Empire and have agreed to work together to find an answer to the harvesting of the orange pods by the Black Ships. If they are successful in finding a way to kill the pods, then the main tool of destruction used by the Invaders will be eliminated. However, success means angering the power behind the Black Ships and there is a rising fear that there will be revenge on the Empire for destroying its drug supply.
The magnitude of that revenge is beyond anyone in the Empire’s wildest imagination.
The space opera action continues in “Death of an Empire” as the Emperor continues the struggle to survive against an ancient evil enemy.
The Empire’s former universe has been destroyed and only sixty six planets survived the fleets of Black Ships. Now the Empire is going to confront the Stars Realm and inform them of their coming destruction. Trey’s anger at the Realm will guide him and he welcomes the coming invasion of the Realm by the Demons. His plans no longer include the Realm and he looks forward to its destruction. Then he meets the Realm’s creators and finds that all the things he believed are not as they appear. Creation is at stake and Trey and Cassie are lost on what do next. Perhaps salvation lies in the Return of the Realm.
Reader’s Review: This author taught me to love the term “space opera”! This series is an easy, enjoyable read, and any sci fi fan should enjoy.
Saxon Andrew’s works are mostly really fun, easy to read books that don’t require too much hard thinking and wondering on your own. However, just when you think you have something figured out, he surprises you significantly and takes things off in a completely unexpected direction. I LOVE to find books, or better yet, a series, that I can read multiple times, and all of his that I’ve read so far fit that bill perfectly. I completed the “Annihilation”, and the “Ashes” series and enjoyed them thoroughly. I’ve downloaded the first books in a couple of other short series and am quite anxious to start them. And I have no doubt, I will certainly be rereading them all a number of times during the remainder of my life.
