Hell's Foundations Quiver

De: David Weber

Narrado por: Oliver Wyman

Centuries ago the human race fought its first great war against an alien race - and lost. A tiny population of human beings fled to distant Safehold. Centuries later their descendants have forgotten their history; for them life has been an eternal Middle Ages, ruled by the Church of God Awaiting, whose secret purpose is to prevent the reemergence of industrial civilization.

But not all of Safehold's founders were onboard with this plan. Those dissidents left behind their own secret legacies. One of those is Merlyn Athrawes, cybernetic avatar of one of Earth's long-dead defenders, now reawakened after a thousand years to restart human progress and reclaim our place in the universe. Merlyn has intervened in the small Safeholdian realm of Charis, seeding it with ideas and innovations and helping it to rise to challenge the hegemony of the Church. It's been a long and bloody fight, but aided by a stream of inventions - breech-loading rifles, signal rockets, claymore mines, new approaches to manufacturing and supply - Charis and its few allies seem to have finally gained the upper hand. Now major realms have begun to consider switching sides. To all these ends, Merlyn Athrawes has been everywhere, under multiple disguises and wielding hidden powers. The secret of who and what he is has been closely held. But a new player has arrived, one who knows many secrets - including Merlyn's own.

great continuation of the series.

a great continuation of the safehold series. And the narrator is spot-on. keeps me coming back every time.

good reading of a mediocre story

good story but it drives a little bit but I'm still waiting to find out what happens well worth the price if you are a member and use a credit.

I'm Still Here

Would you consider the audio edition of Hell's Foundations Quiver to be better than the print version?

Nah, but my time is short.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Hahahahaha

Any additional comments?

I know Weber's writing an epic, and I love the story, but this pace is draining.

hell of a read

great series cant wait to start the next in this series.
Sifi at its best

Perfect

Fantastic story, wonderfully written as always by David Weber. Narration is so spot on. this is exactly what you're looking for when listening to an audio book by your favorite author

Great Series

I loved this latest book in the Safehold series. the plot is a great one, the characters are interesting, with a sharp contrast between the Protagonists and the Antagonists. I strongly recommend the whole series, and am impatient for the next book to be released.

Weber does it again!

Can't wait for the next book in this series.

Love the blend if Sci Fi with the historical development of guns and factories

Finally back to a good narrator

after two disappointing performances, they finally got a good narrator. I just wish they would update the maps with more details.

Decent

Another great book by David Weber and the narration is superb. The thing that I disliked with this book was the way it was written explicitly to put our heros in situations that guarantee the series will continue. While thats not a bad thing normally we see characters doing things that they normally would not have otherwise done or allowed to happen. It also makes what is going to happen even more obvious than what is normally seen in David Weber's writing. Another great book but opportunities exist to have made it better.

I have really enjoyed this saga

awesome series I just can't get enough...wonderful characters voice talent does a great job with every one
