Über diesen Titel

The Last Emperox is the thrilling conclusion to the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today best-selling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi.

The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems - and billions of people - are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction...and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known.

Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But "control" is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough.

Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization...or the last emperox to wear the crown?

Since it’s only available in English I will write in English too.

Great speaker, suspense in the story line and some totally unexpected turns before the end.

It will be one of books I will listen to again.

Profanities? Yes especially from one character in the book - but there is a backstory to it - it’s their family heritage/ language so didn’t bother me at all, it was authentic.


Great finale - Surprising turns

Wil Wheaton is doing great, again! I was really looking forward to this book but, well, how to put it, I was somewhat disappointed with the solution. There were so many possibilities - and in the end I was wondering about the many pages about fictious flow physics...that did not really contribute to the story and the finale...
Ok, in a nutshell: the end of this trilogy is below the capabilities of the author. Like it was written in a hurry. Sorry.

Ok but somewhat disappointing...

After the first hour I stopped listening and considered returning this book to audible. And the reason for that: it was an almost uninterrupted surge of profanities and shouting and threats by not-so-nice-people, all of them voiced by Wil Wheaton who thus also was a huge disappointment.

But after a three-months-pause I continued listening. And the story came back on track, re-joined the arc from the first two books and became more and more gripping as it progressed towards the finale. And since quote a lot of other characters reappeared Wil Wheaton´s narrative also achieved its normal/excellent level.

So my advise to listeners: tough it out. In the end this is an intelligent and moving tale. But for those who do not know the first two books yet: get them first, otherwise you will be totally confused.

Tough it out

The series started out with such joyful innocence and then get darker over the consecutive chapters ending with such sadness that made me wish I had stopped listening before the final few chapters.

Loved the series, wish it was longer.

Instead of writing an epic story about the handling of society with the collapse the author takes the short cut.

Mediocre ending
