Publisher's Summary
The Imperium has reigned for 4,000 years...but are its days numbered?
For four millennia, the 16 planets of the Imperium sector have served as a bastion of peace against the Chaosic Regions. The Imperium's legacy can be attributed to the formidable military power of the Stratus, the enforcers of the Supreme and the Senate. However, as is often the case with empires, it is the smallest cracks that threaten to shatter their foundations.
Could this be the beginning of the end?
A dishonorably discharged stratusaire struggles to recall why he was expelled from the only life he has ever known. Now working as a mercenary on the sector's most profitable mining planet, he is haunted by mysterious memories. Before long, he finds himself in conflict with the very government he once served.
Can he survive being pursued by those he was once trained alongside?
Simultaneously, the royal heir to a planetary throne is confronted with the harsh realities of her family's rule. As a result of her curiosity, she finds herself entangled in matters of statecraft that surpass her status and experience.
Will she prioritize her family's legacy or the lives of those under her rule?

Excellent Storytelling in both prose and narration
A book so rich in eccentric characters, deep world building and heart-stopping action, it's easy to get lost between the pages and forget about the real world around you.
From an action packed opening that immediately introduces you to the world and agency of the protagonist, to the finale fight for the death at the end, Imperium Descent, will keep you transfixed, entertained and on your toes. And peppered with great wit, moral dilemmas and moments that make you go 'hmmmm', when you're done, you'll be wanting to pick up the next one in the series right away.
Mr. Hopper has a way with words. His ability to mix vibrant descriptions seamlessly into his prose makes for an easy, enjoyable read. Nothing tangles up or distracts you from the story at hand as you get acquainted with the characters and their quest. And most importantly, with this book being part of a series, the ending leaves you satisfied. The book's story is finished, but wait! There's more! You're left knowing more is to come but without the expensive of feeling like you've been 'click-baited' with an amateur cliffhanger. Yes, Christopher Hopper did it right! For me, Imperium Descent Volume II, is already cued up and ready to be enjoyed!
And let us not forget the excellent narration! Clear and distinct voice acting giving each character their own charm and uniqueness. Easy to listen to. And don't forget the gag reel at the end!

One of the best audiobooks I’ve listened to!
I’ve listened to over 200 audiobooks over the last few years, and Imperium Descent Vol 1 is among the best.
Rich, detailed and enthralling story, matched by the author’s voice acting debut!! I am used to the talents of RC Bray, and this audiobook is truly at Bob’s level.
If you like Star Wars or Dune (or a combo of both), get this story. The Appendium that comes with the audiobook is also a cool bonus that you must check out.
