About this listen
With new alliances forged and old regimes fractured, Merlin—the cybernetic avatar of Earth's last survivor and immortal beacon to humanity—and the colonies of Safehold have many adventures ahead in Through Fiery Trials, the continuation of David Weber's New York Times bestselling military science fiction series.
Those on the side of progressing humanity through advanced technology have finally triumphed over their oppressors. The unholy war between the small but mighty island realm of Charis and the radical, luddite Church of God's Awaiting has come to an end.
However, even though a provisional veil of peace has fallen over human colonies, the quiet will not last. For Safehold is a broken world, and as international alliances shift and Charis charges on with its precarious mission of global industrialization, the shifting plates of the new world order are bound to clash.
Yet, an uncertain future isn't the only danger Safehold faces. Long-thought buried secrets and prophetic promises come to light, proving time is a merciless warden who never forgets.
“Vast, complex, intricate, subtle, and unlaydownable....The biggest thing in science fiction since Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.” — Dave Duncan on the Safehold series

Would it be possible to get the previous narrator back, or better yet, get one of the Narrators from his other series.

The descriptions of the explosive aftermath of war, injustice and repression were heartbreaking.
Really enjoyed learning what happened to the characters I have come to know and love from the previous instalments. I was caught up in following the many narrative strands in the twists and turns of peacetime rebuilding after the worldwide civil war, shifting loyalties and political intrigue. There were echoes of current political events in the Siddarmark plot line.
I found the Merlin/Nimue developments imaginative, thought provoking and challenging. I was also sad as some of the older characters disappeared from view.
As this was so packed with new elements, I really hope we don’t have to wait too long for the next story. I am going to go back and listen to this again.

Be prepared to do a lot of fast forwarding through David Webber's excruciatingly irritating female characterisations in order to get to the 'good bits'. It's a mark of just how overinflated this book is that skipping segments in no way detracts from the reader's grasp of the overall storyline.
Despite the book's obvious negatives - however - I still give the story four stars as the basic premise (the core plot) is an intriguing one. Also, when the action finally gets going is is quite a 'ripping yarn'. I'll probably end up listening to more in this series and just grin and bear having to skip through the 'gooey' bits (to use one of Webber's own words).
Probably the most tedious in the series so far.

A waited for audiobook which failed to impress after the first few hours I regretted the purchase, all down to the Narrator I will have to eventually read the book instead and hope that is worth the purchase, I have all other books of the set 1 - 9 in hardback but the mistake of not listening to any narrator before accepting him to read the audiobook is a very disappointing newbie error, which Mr Weber should of learned but obviously has not, I don't expect the narrators to sound the same but I do expect continuity with pronunciation which I am sorry to say was totally missing.
I cannot in all honesty recommend this audio book my advice is wait for Mr Weber to realise and force another narrator or read in paper or kindle
