""Truly a riveting read... fast-paced action, adventure, and a story about friendship and loyalty.""Isabella Harris, Readers' Favorite ""A fantastic series... I was sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for what would happen next.""Rabia Tanveer, Readers' Favorite ""Huge sensory detail... the combination of supernatural and science fiction, paired with everyday moments, is part of why this series stands out.""Jamie Michele, Readers' Favorite Excerpt from Rabia Tanveer - 5 Stars Captain of Empire is the fourth book in the Dodecahedral Space Empire series by S. A. Melia. King Teodor, stripped of his crown and trapped on the alien world of Sas Darona, must survive among the enigmatic Spider Riders, whose motives are far from clear. Meanwhile, Guy Erma, now a Dome Militant captain, leads a daring mission across Sas Darona's perilous terrain to find and rescue his friend. As they uncover layers of betrayal and political scheming, the future of Sas Darona-and the Empire-hangs in the balance. I adore S. A. Melia's writing. She balances adventure, action, and strong character arcs without compromising the emotional depth. Teodor's journey to find identity without his royal title is powerful, while Guy's loyalty and courage shine as he defies orders to do what's right. The Spider Riders' alien culture is richly imagined and skillfully detailed. There was never a dull moment-I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This is a fantastic series I would highly recommend! Excerpt from Jamie Michele - 5 Stars The Dodecahedral Space Empire series continues with Captain of Empire, a bold new chapter in Teodor and Guy's saga. Guy leads a search across Sas Darona while Teodor, imprisoned on the alien world, fights for survival. Their stories unfold in parallel-two threads of loyalty, bravery, and the fate of an empire. ""You never stopped believing..."" This book builds tension beautifully. Melia's cast of characters-Guy, Des, Prof-feel authentic and human under stress. The sensory world-building is stunning: tipi tents cloaked in spider silk, incense-filled interiors, sweeping river delta views. Surreal scenes like Charliki forging through rapids heighten the drama. The fusion of science fiction and supernatural elements with everyday moments is where Melia excels. The book gives us both stirring reunions and major plot shifts. For fans, the ending promises more adventure ahead. For new readers, it's an exciting, immersive entry into a layered world full of wonder. Excerpt from Isabella Harris - 5 Stars Guy Erma searches desperately for his friend, King Teodor, believed dead. Guided by Professor Taliesin, he uncovers clues that lead him to the Spider Riders. Meanwhile, Teodor, now a prisoner, rises as a respected leader among the YunGard through strength and determination. Their bond, once tested, becomes the key to survival against a rising threat from Tomas, a distant royal rival seeking the throne. Melia does an excellent job juggling two complex narratives. The emotional stakes are high, and the plot moves with suspenseful ease. I was fascinated by the bond between spiders and their riders-unique, imaginative, and completely captivating. Melia's world-building feels natural and immersive. Themes of loyalty, power, and friendship are masterfully explored. The tension builds steadily, and the dual perspectives of Guy and Teodor enrich the story. I couldn't stop reading and am excited for the next installment. Captain of Empire is a thrilling, fast-paced read full of action and heart.
