About this listen
Chase had it all planned out.
Do a little time in one of the emperor's jails, say a four-year stretch, for getting rid of some trash that no one would miss, and when he got out, the path to leadership would be wide open. It wasn't enough to be one of the gang's rising stars, or better lieutenants. He needed jail time, serious jail time—not that juvie crap or just going to county, to garner the respect he needed and deserved.
Unfortunately, his bastard of a father, the same one who left his mother to die in poverty and him to run wild on the streets, took an interest. Seeing him sitting on the bench when his case went to court was a shock. But not as big a shock as being sentenced to ten years in the Imperial Navy.
That's just the first of Chase's nasty surprises as he finds himself among the Emperor's Own—The Wolfhounds. How and why his bastard father sent him there is a secret that only the base AI knows the answer to. When that same AI decides to use Chase to fulfill its own orders, Chase soon finds himself in a situation where if he doesn't die honorably in combat due to the enemy, his own side will arrange those circumstances for him.
Unfortunately for everyone involved, Chase is proving to be just as tough of a bastard as the man who sent him there.

Five hundred years of fighting demons and humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction.

I have been reborn from an advanced techno-magic world into a world where magic is still in its infancy. In this new world I have the body of a young baron and my entire worldly possessions are one village—a village surrounded by monsters and hostile aristocrats on the fringes of a young, rapidly expanding empire. The other thing I have, though, is knowledge beyond what this world has dreamt of, and nothing will stop me from building my own magic empire!

Sometimes in life, you feel like the world is out to get you. Nothing ever seems to work out the way you want it to, and everything just goes wrong all at the same time. But you have to bear up under the weight of life and just keep swinging. It can't stay bad forever, right? That is what Casey Sullivan believed when he spent his entire young life in an orphanage, fighting for scraps and doing his best to not get shanked by the youth gangs there. When he had the opportunity to make a difference, he seized it with both hands and did everything in his power to pass the police academy.

My name is James Thorne, and I wasn't supposed to matter. Before the invasion, I was just a guy in a dead-end job, keeping my head down and my past buried. The Gehenna want our annihilation. Thankfully, they angered the Aetherion who may help humanity not only fight back, but turn the tide. When I’m offered the chance to be Cleansed, to become something more than I was, I take it. And it turns out I’m special. No, I’m not the Chosen One. And yes, there are others like me, but as a Psyker, I can do things most can't. Things that make me very dangerous.

Story
Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

Story
Ralph could be described as a rogue on a good day. A bad day involved a lot of cursing, calling him a pirate, or sometimes even having a shoot-out. It wasn't really his fault of course, or so he would have you believe. It was the fault of those who wanted to get in his way of making as much money as possible as a smuggler. His family had been gifted with a letter of marque for the Terran Confed, one that is inherited and has been passed down to him. Essentially, it gives him a lot of loopholes and ways through regulations to be a fantastic smuggler. Or as a legal pirate, a Privateer.

For years, pilots who merely looked like soldiers were adequate. They filled the mechs. They filled roles. They supported Spann and his genetic offshoot of pure-blooded warriors known as the Superba. Spann's dream of absolute power ends with a single, crushing blow as a new enemy strikes at the Realm, leaving no survivors—followed by a mad dash to find fighters who can stand up in the old ways, using the mechs gifted to humanity by their oldest allies. Even in the midst of war, there is hope.

For years, pilots who merely looked like soldiers were adequate. They filled the mechs. They filled roles. They supported Spann and his genetic offshoot of pure-blooded warriors known as the Superba. Spann's dream of absolute power ends with a single, crushing blow as a new enemy strikes at the Realm, leaving no survivors—followed by a mad dash to find fighters who can stand up in the old ways, using the mechs gifted to humanity by their oldest allies. Even in the midst of war, there is hope.

Audio Edit Needed
- By Justin Stock on 03-12-25
By: RJ Shoke
Point Of View(POV):
The POV jumps between Many characters but only for a very short time then back to the MC. Normally I hate it and won't even listen to a book if I know that there are more than 1-2 POV's but because the POV is very short when it's on other characters and only stays for a longer time at the MC i don't mind it as much.
What Is The Book About?
it's about an orphan named "Chase" who have been living in the streets since the age of 12 (now 18-20) he is a lieutenant in one of the empire's capital city gangs and for him to higher and eventually take over the gang he needs serious prison time so he kills some scumbag that no one would miss even all the evidence against him was all "lost/misplaces" by the police.
Then when he is about to be sentenced his dad that he has only seen once in his life shows up as the judge and sentences him to 10 years in the military in the Wolfhound fleet instead much to Chase's dismay.
The Wolfhounds is basically the Emperors private army and only he can command them
He arrives at Wolfhound base and gets into Cryosleep and was supposed to wake up in 3-6 months time instead when they wake up they discover that 10 years have passed.
Chase of course don’t care but many of the others do so while chase and the other “mechanics/engineers” is running around trying to fix the thousands of things broken or otherwise from the 10 years lack of maintenance while at the same time dealing with crew going insane worrying about their families and friends, The Command Staff/leaders comes up with a plan on what to do.
they arrive at (can’t remember the name and is to lazy to check) where they discover that 10 years ago the Emperor and most if not all of is family was killed and that Speaker Neil and his henchmen has taken over the empire, and made women in the military into sex slaves on ships and many, Many other things just as bad.
The Wolfhound Command staff comes up with the idea to select a random crew and make a “Fake” prince so that they have the legitimacy to keep looking after a “real” imperial family member still alive. And then when they find one, then give the “fake” a heroic death.
They ask the base AI to select someone from the crew and the AI knowing something they don’t but have been sworn to secrecy selects Chase as the “fake” prince.
BUT when they tell Chase that the judge that sentenced him was a real Imperial Prince and that they are going to pretend that Chase is his son so that they have an Imperial and can legitimate search for the “Real” imperial prince/princess in an is still alive. But what they don’t know is that Chase is ACTUALLY the son of the judge aka the Imperial prince.
Of course because Chase have lived on the Streets he don’t trust easy and don’t tell anyone this and commands the AI to not tell anyone since the AI’s first loyalty it to the Imperial Family first and the wolfhounds second and since Chase apparently have an inactive imperial interface that you can only get by being blood related to an Imperial the AI must obey him even though he repeatedly tries to persuade Chase to tell the truth throughout the book.
Now since Chase Maybe need to die and heroic death, of course they don’t tell him that but he is smart enough to figure that out himself, they send him to Mech school under the tutelage of (can’t remember her name and is to lazy to check) an baroness much to her displeasure having to teach an lowly orphan to become a Mech pilot.
We then follow Chase Training to become Mech pilot while also learning how to be an Imperial Prince and while the CO wants to tell him what to say and do Chase has other plans and does whatever he wants just as an Imperial Prince would do.
Now comes the hard part finding Replacement part to the tens of Thousand of broken things in the fleet and at the same time keep dodging Assassins that is after the 10 mil. credit bounty on Chases head.
While also keep stringing the Command Staff along and preventing them from finding out that he is ACTUALLY an “Real” Imperial Prince before Chase is ready and has gathered loyal allies he can trust to his side.
Romance?:
YES no explicit content but the MC quickly immediately falls in love with ******** and spends almost the rest of the book realizing that and so does she and I can't wait for book 2 so that i can watch their relationship blossom.

Only thing that I would say is a draw back is the lack of differences between character voices. Narrator is good but he doesn't change his voice much or the inflections of attitudes. Still I look forward to him reading the others as well.
