About this listen

Somewhere on the outer rim of the universe, a mass of decaying world-ships known as the Legion is traveling in the seams between the stars. For generations, a war for control of the Legion has been waged, with no clear resolution. As worlds continue to die, a desperate plan is put into motion.

Zan wakes with no memory, prisoner of a people who say they are her family. She is told she is their salvation - the only person capable of boarding the Mokshi, a world-ship with the power to leave the Legion. But Zan's new family is not the only one desperate to gain control of the prized ship. Zan finds that she must choose sides in a genocidal campaign that will take her from the edges of the Legion's gravity well to the very belly of the world.

Zan will soon learn that she carries the seeds of the Legion's destruction - and its possible salvation. But can she and her ragtag band of followers survive the horrors of the Legion and its people long enough to deliver it?

In the tradition of The Fall of Hyperion and Dune, The Stars Are Legion is an epic and thrilling tale about tragic love, revenge, and war as imagined by one of the genre's most celebrated new writers.

What the critics say

"This gripping book is both hard to read and easy to appreciate." ( Publishers Weekly)
All stars

Hurley uses the phrases 'she said' and 'I say' after lines of dialogue quite frequently. To the point of annoyance, even. It makes everything sound bit more juvenile when spoken aloud. Perhaps a few I 'replied's would help break up the monotony. The narrator was skilled enough that I could differentiate between characters without having to resort to confirming someone said something after they just said it. As for the story, the ending felt really rushed. I invested so much into those characters, hoping for more memory regaining scenes and relational complexity. I feel a bit deflated. I would have loved to know more about the science of the worlds - what's with that arm?!

Unique and for the most part enjoyable.

I’m sorry but I got about 40 pages in and so done . By the way this is more than 15 words

The uniformity between the dead pan announcer and the equally flat story

The story was a bit dull, a bit predictable and somewhat gross, despite the setting being living spaceships. Tolerably listenable.

Meh
