Audio book Review: 1,000 years of Space Opera jammed into 10

Exodus:  Empires at War Book 1

by Doug Dandridge

 

Exodus is the name of the only surviving ship to exit Sol system after the conquering aliens laid waste to Earth and Human kind.  They travel in subspace for millennia to form an Empire and outgrow the old aliens’ technology base.  Will it be enough?

This was a 10 hour audio book and the storyline was so crammed it felt rushed.  It would slow down for some things then speed up for the sole purpose of telling a thousand year story in ten hours.  The innovation bit was really over done here.  There was enough stupendous tech developments dropped in this one book to keep a forty book series going.  I could have liked this if it had been paced better but it wasn’t which resulted in 3 out of 5 from me.
