About this audiobook
Sten had fully expected to die in a blaze of glory, taking his Emperor's greatest foe with him. Instead he was a slave laborer in a P.O.W. camp deep in the heart of enemy territory. But sitting out the action had never been Sten's style. And now that the war was building to a climax, the Eternal Emperor needed him more than ever. Not even the toughest prison in the known universe could keep Sten from his mission . . .
Author
Allan Cole
Allan Cole is a best-selling author, screenwriter and former prize-winning newsman who brings a rich background in travel and personal experience to his imaginative work. Son of a CIA operative, Cole was raised in the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. He attended thirty-two schools and visited or lived in as many countries. He recalls hearing Othello for the first time as a child sitting on an ancient fortress wall in Cyprus - the island Shakespeare had in mind when he wrote the play. Rejecting invitations to join the CIA, Cole became an award-winning investigative reporter and editor who dealt with everything from landmark murder cases to thieving government officials. Since that time he’s concentrated on books and film. His novels include the landmark science fiction series, “Sten,” the highly-praised fantasy trilogy, “Tales Of The Timuras,” “The Far Kingdoms” series, a World Fantasy Award Finalist, and the Vietnam war classic, “A Reckoning For Kings.” The “Sten” novels, which he coauthored with the late Chris Bunch, have sold upwards of 25 million books worldwide and have been published in 13 languages. His latest novels include “The Lords Of Terror,” which he wrote with Russian fantasy master, Nick Perumov, as well as “MacGregor,” and “Drowned Hopes,” thrillers set in Boca Raton, Florida. “Lords” is the first and only novel written by American and Russian collaborators. Allan has sold more than a hundred and fifty television dramas, ranging from “Quincy” and “The Rockford Files” to and “Walker, Texas Ranger.” He lives in Boca Raton, Florida, with his wife, Kathryn.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I did not enjoy the narration. Earlier books were better
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yes we finally get the long awaited spotted snake story!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Terrible narration, not like first 4 books. Hope the rest are original narrator
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The book is fine, but the narrator is not Jerry Sciarrio. His Scottish brogue is so bad that I can barely stand listening to the book. I actually have to stop listening for a few minutes. He is fine with everything else, and i don’t know what folks get paid narrating a book, but c’mon man!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I would have given it 5 stars but, They switch narrators and this guy is just horrible. Don't take a job doing an audio book with a Scottish accent if you can't do a Scottish accent. I had to turn the speed on 1.5 to get it to the speed of a normal person. I guess I'm just gonna have to get the printed version and read it because I can't take listening to this guy
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love the whole series. Very very much. Hope Sten goes on to show in 10, 12....25 books !
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Narrator has completely changed his prounciation for some of the major characters from the previous books. No clue why but damn irritating. EDIT: Despite the name on the cover the narrator has changed, and the new narrator cannot do Scottish or Australian accents ☹️
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The writing is great just like the previous books, but the voice acting is being done by I would say a reader that isn't professional. Or at least not from a professional studio. More like a good reader you get at a library on the weekend. Nonetheless still worth listening to.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I gave the first four books in the series 5 stars. This gets four simply because they changed narrators and this one is not near as good. Can barely understand the poor rendition of a Scots accent. Always dislike when they change readers in the middle of a series. I will continue the series though. Read the whole series years ago and it's still good.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story. Enjoy the series. But this one has terrible narration. Sounds like a robot.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The second part of the Tahn wars duo which marks the middle of the Sten series. It is a surprising straight-forward story, with few shocks for the reader, but the conclusion of so many plt lines is welcome. The finale of the book contains the only true surprise, but it is a bit of a shocker.
