About this listen

Dash never asked to be a mech pilot, but fate has other plans.

On the run and out of chances, he guides his ship and crew into the heart of a relic older than the galaxy itself—and find himself on the edge of an eternal war he never knew existed.

The relic is a mech, lost to history and forgotten by all who remain. Built by an ancient race to be the ultimate weapon, the machine is capable of unspeakable destruction, and its discovery could unhinge the balance of power throughout known space.

Worse still, the A.I. inside the machine speaks of an ancient evil that will soon arrive—a race whose power far exceeds anything humanity has ever witnessed.

Only the Messenger can stand against them, the A.I. tells its new pilot. Only you can do what must be done.

I've listened to all 15 books, I'm leaving this review on my 2nd time around. Put simply if this wasn't a great series, I'd never have made it through 15 books. I found myself laughing out loud quite often throughout the series. Lots of those "edge of your seat" moments as well. Highly recommend 👍🏻

The enemy of all life!?!

the story is written very well I enjoyed it very much the story presented itself in a way where it's continuously moving forward and each character's development I am going so far cannot wait to see how the AI in the architect will grow it's almost like Gundam meat Mass Effect the story does not have very many parts where it dragged out it makes you kind of want to skip this section cannot wait to read the rest of the series

a really good book involving mechs
