Empire of the Dying Stars

Posted on 26 March 2026 by audiobb_com

Earth already had its apocalypse. Humanity barely survived it.

Unfortunately for Major Ethan Irons, that was just the warm-up act.

When the scattered remnants of humanity stumble into a much larger problem—namely a galaxy locked in a brutal, centuries-old war—Ethan finds himself promoted from “guy trying to keep a few thousand survivors alive” to “unwilling participant in an interstellar disaster.”

Now he’s stuck negotiating with suspicious alien powers, dodging fleets that can vaporize planets for breakfast, and relying heavily on a sarcastic AI who believes Ethan’s leadership skills fall somewhere between questionable and cosmically irresponsible.

Humanity is outnumbered, outgunned, and very much not invited to the party, but if Ethan has learned anything from Earth’s extinction event, it’s this: humans are extremely difficult to get rid of.

Echoes of Extinction is a high-stakes space opera packed with alien civilizations, galaxy-spanning conflict, dangerous alliances, dark humor, and enough twists to keep even a battle-hardened AI guessing.
