Relics of Eternity (Duchy of Terra Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Glynn Stewart (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 2,192 ratings
The edge of Imperial expansion
Far from Earth and the other homeworlds
Here lie the secrets of ancient gods
Here…there be dragons

Seeking to escape the shadow of Annette Bond’s success, Captain Morgan Casimir has taken a posting on the far side of the A!Tol Imperium. Here she hopes to begin a legend for herself that stands apart from her stepmother, the Duchess.

A chance encounter introduces her to the xenoarcheologist Rin Dunst—and to the strange mystery cult that tried to silence him. There are darker secrets in these stars than the A!Tol and their human allies ever guessed…and if they can’t find answers, the Precursors' mistakes might yet destroy the galaxy.

Again.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Worth the Read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2023

    I loved catching up with how Morgan is doing, but personally and professionally. Character development is important to me and she definitely gets some here.

    There's also been a lot of changes in the Imperium, courtesy of the events from the last several books. Including more sinister happenings which, to put it bluntly, I am glad the next book is already written because I can't wait to find out what dark tides await for our heroes.

    (And where the next bits of character development takes them. Which has some bright patches to look forward to, as well!)

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Writing As Always
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I normally give Glynn 5 stars. And frankly, the quality of his writing always deserves 5 stars.

    However I didn't connect with this book as much as I have with others in the series. The interpersonal drama seemed a little more forced than normal.

    I do appreciate the fact that Glynn is inclusive of all genders/non-genders and relationship configurations without being obnoxious. In a world with many different sentient species it seems only natural that there are way more options than we are used to. He never writes as if he's looking down at or judging anyone, and to me that's the sign of an excellent writer - one who gives only facts and allows the reader to take away what they will, while still managing a coherent and usually exciting plot.

    I think there's still room for Morgan to grow and I look forward to reading more.

    I did receive an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Nailed it!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The 7th book in the Duchy of Terra universe, Glynn Stewart's universe in which Terra (Earth) has become a duchy of an imperial star empire. The book picks up 10 years after the events of the last trilogy and explores the thread of the ancient 'Precursors' - a galaxy spanning empire that died out following an ill advised 'experiment' to change the laws of physics.

    I need to stress this is not 'hard science fiction' - it is what may be commonly referred to as 'space opera' so if you are looking for hard technology descriptions you may be disappointed. But if you are looking for a gripping story, constructed in a consistent world / universe then this book is one I strongly recommend.

    Reading the previous books in the series is strongly recommended as many of the plot points and storylines stretch back to some of the first books. The author does an outstanding job of revealing plot points that are actually foreshadowed in previous books - 'surprises' that the author reveals are cleverly hidden in previous books - which makes you want to go back and reread passages from previous stories in the series - those 'ah ha!' moments that make books readable over and over again.

    Summary - another well written book from Glynn Stewart, an author who is following the traditions of story telling in a science fiction setting that are a tribute to the lineage of great sci fi story tellers going back to 1930s - well done book - strongly recommended.

    5.0 out of 5 stars New arc in an ongoing series
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    This review is based on a free electronic advance readers copy received for the purpose of writing a review.

    The product description makes it very clear that this is book 7 of an ongoing series. That said, if you’re just finding you way here, you should be OK picking up this book without having read the first 6. It’s nice to have all the history, but this book mostly revolves around new characters, and there are enough explanatory references to make the history and worldbuilding accessible as you go.

    For the one returning character, Morgan Casimir, something like ten years have passed since the llast book, encompassing quiet but steady career development. Having advanced to the rank of Captain, she is assigned far from her home on Terra and her influential family, giving her a chance to make her way on her own merits.

    This book is clearly the start of a significant new arc in the series, with new characters and a major new problem. Without offering spoilers, the author has succeeded in upping the ante from the previous books, pitting Morgan, her crew, and her allies against a problem on an even more apocalyptic scale than mere alien invasion fleets.

    While the story does resolve the immediate, likely to destroy the nearest inhabited world, problem, that resolution merely reveals another layer of problem beyond that one. There are also numerous tantalizing references to off-screen events that I suspect will prove to be involved, not merely justification for a lack of reinforcements, forcing Morgan to solve her immediate problem with additional support from the Empire.

    At first read I found Morgan a bit stiff and resistant to letting the reader into her head, compared to her presentation in the previous book. However on further consideration I think the author is presenting us with a young woman still finding her way in her new rank, and focused on getting all the detail perfect. She’s too busy trying to be the perfect Captain to let herself relax, even in private. I’m looking forward to seeing where that goes in the next book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Book Seven of the Duchy of Terra
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Book Seven picks up with Morgan Casimir again. She is sent out to try to investigate what may be Precursor artifacts, and along the way picks an exo archeologist more familiar with the subject than most. She uncovers what might be their first LIVING Precursor artifact...but will it be friendly?

    This is a good book but I really can't reveal much without spoilers. All of the books build on each other to an extent and this one a bit more than most because it requires some knowledge of the overall political situations of the various empires. It's a great expansion once again to the existing universe and how Humans fit into it.

    VERY recommended...you'll like it!

    The problem with writing a real good book is how he can exceed expectations with the next one. Glynn Stewart did just that. A fanatic cult, incredible creatures... And of course, the expected space battles where the main character just barely escapes. Hughly recommended reading!

    Buy this book!
    The main protagonist is surrounded by other folks with superb skills and professionalism. She runs a very modern, powerful ’cruiser’, which cat lay a hurt on folks who seek to trap her ship.
    The interactions amongst ship crew, and amongst Base-in-orbit population, _and_ amongst Headquarters and other places, is deftly written.
    If you have missed all or any of The Duchess of Terra tales, Amazon will cheerfully sell all you need.
    You do not have to build more bookcases, and the Kindle app works on iPad, Android, Windows 10: even on any Kindle Device!
