The Tinderbox: Soldier of Indira

A Tinderbox Standalone

De: Lou Diamond Phillips

Narrado por: R.C. Bray, Julia Whelan

From the imagination of actor Lou Diamond Phillips (La Bamba, Stargate Universe, Prodigal Son) comes an epic and unforgettable science-fantasy tale.

Two worlds at war will bring them together...or tear them apart.

Everson didn't want to be a soldier. His parents forced him to serve, as all good Indiran men should. The only problem? His first battle against their mortal enemies goes horribly wrong, and he winds up stranded on the enemy planet.

Now, Everson has to survive in this strange new land where everyone is out to get him. Not to mention the planet Mano is covered in unforgiving desert. And he's the target of traitors who want to use him in a dastardly plot to overthrow their mad king, Xander the Firm, by having him retrieve a piece of mysterious and powerful ancient technology known as the Tinderbox.

But everything changes during a chance encounter with the king's daughter, Allegra. Despite her station, she's in as grave of danger from her own people as Everson is. And though their peoples have been at odds for centuries, an unlikely spark forms between them.

As their worlds come crashing down around them, their forbidden love might be the only chance to end this war forever. Or it might just be the doom of everyone....

Imagine the intrigue of Game of Thrones mixed with the star-crossed romance of Romeo and Juliet - but in space! Inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's famous fairy tale of the same name, Soldier of Indira is perfect for fans of Outlander, Dune, Aurora Rising, and Stardust.

Includes a special note from the author.

Amazing

It’s very rare to get a book that has a moral message in it as well as some amazing fiction. The story is a big of an allegory but who knew that Lou Diamond Phillips was/is such a prolific author? The performance is amazing and the story is top notch.

Fun & Interesting!

The story was interesting enough to keep me going, wanting to hear what is next.

Should be a movie!

A surprisingly good story - well written and well performed (narrated). I was pleasantly surprised how captivating this story is. I was on a road trip and listened to the whole book at one time. It was so well written, it was like a movie was playing in my mind's eye as I listened. Great Job!

Good read, strongly recommend!

I was first drawn to this book by the author and knowledge of his acting career and ability to portray his characters so well.
Good read. Well written and built! Thank you.

enjoyable read

overall I enjoyed the story. a few earth terms snuck in which felt jarring. with the rich world and vocabulary created to hear human used seemed odd

homerun

tinderbox was outstanding. the battle between good and evil, light and dark played out wonderfully. and the narrating duo of rc and Julia again brings the story and characters to life. well done!

An Excellent Debut From an Established Entertainer

Lou Diamond Phillips has created a set of incredibly compelling characters that were magnificently brought to life by the incredible talents of R.C. Bray and Julia Whelan in this novel take on Hans Christian Anderson's classic The Tinder Box. Phillips flawlessly incorporates both classic and pop culture elements that add to the unique nature of his story, despite its established roots. I was drawn in by the magnetic broad swords and the intricate societies and cultures, but I stayed for the humble heroism and emotional intelligence of Phillips' intrepid heroes, who you can't help but root for. An excellent read that I would readily recommend, and I hope to see more from Phillips in the future!

What a gem

Wonderful storytelling An absolute delight. Great for all ages. Can’t wait for the book from LDP

You must listen to this book.

Wonderful story. Loved all the characters. I was surprised that Lou Diamond Phillips would write a Sci Fi novel. He did a fantastic job. Two of my favorite narrators is icing on the cake.

mesmerizing

I read a wide variety of books, so if a book can't capture my attention in the first five pages I give up on it. This story had me right from the start. The details and descriptive words in virtually every sentence are what held me and kept me wanting to hear more.
I truly look forward to the next installment by Mr. Phillips.
