The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . FOUNDRA (Foundra, #1) . . . Space Opera meets all the key points, with intrigue, monsters, mystery, various species, hidden talents/gifts, world destruction and more. If you take the time to look a little deeper. You will see many things. There was depth in the words. The world building was fantastic. I would love to see this visually. The audio narration brought it to life in my head. With each addition of characters Melissa Reizian gave the characters their own life. The storyline had a good pacing. I could keep up with the changes in location and characters. I could not help but feel like there was a little something more not given in the story. This is a part of a series so there may still be more coming. Either ways this was a world to get lost in and maybe even find a few friends.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Emmanuel M. Arriaga. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
The Huzien Empire has existed for 80 millennia and a powerful invisible force known as the enesmic permeates every aspect of the Twin Galaxy.15th Annual National Indie Excellence Award Finalist
2021 Reader's Favorite Finalist for Best Sci-Fi Romance Novel
Neven is an engineer working for the pinnacle of scientific achievement known as the MinSci on the Huzien homeworld of Thae. His genius draws the attention of one of the immortal Founders and he finds himself drafted into the military as part of an elite group of special forces known as the Founder’s Elites. Not given much time to adjust, his team is called to investigate stories of otherworldly creatures attacking fringe colony worlds.
Soahc is the most powerful wielder of the enesmic in the Twin Galaxy. He’s also incredibly cocky. That is, until he senses a powerful shifting in the enesmic that he can’t explain. Terrified that something is horribly wrong, Soahc leaves his comfortable planet and hitches a ride with Neven and the Founder’s Elites as they investigate the carnage on the fringes of the empire.
Neven, Soahc, and their allies discover something ancient from another plane of existence. Something that exposes the fragility of their galactic empire as they fight to survive annihilation from enesmic beings.
