Ok, But!

When i purchase a audio book, i always listen to the snippet provided before purchase.
I like to listen to the narrator voice, sadly at times this may give a false impression.
I found the narrator lacked the luster and umpth required for a book of this nature. The narrator brings the book to life, Can make an average book, excellent, is the most important component of an audio book.
Sadly Mr Boynett failed, his narration was average, there was no passion in his voice, flat and boring at times....

The story its self was long winded, A lot of fluff with no real meaning that adds to the story.

This book is one to READ yourself

Good Military Sci Fi story

As well as the main story, also included is an extra prequel story and side story.

The book was a good start to what will hopefully be a long series of stories about mankind overcoming their enslavement at the hands of a cruel alien overlords. With the help of an Ancient AI controlled spaceship.

You will love it

The world pictured in the book has a genuine feeling of menace and of human life being next to worthless. Reminded me of books set in occupied Europe during ww2. Very well done with characters you can "feel".
The human crew of a starship, under oppressive alien occupation, encounter a miracle. An ancient sentient ship who offers it's help. But at what cost.

Great Read

I was recommended this book by someone who's name rhymes with Spot Splartleck and having read and enjoyed quite a few of Scott's other books I was glad to give it a listen.

I am a fan of the Space Opera genre and this book fits firmly into that bracket so if you're a fan too you can't gonfar wrong with this. It took a bit of time to get familiar with the large cast, rather than being read from the point of view of one character it swaps about between quite a few each chapter and tells that part of the story from their point of view.

I knew nothing of the plot before picking it up but after a couple of hours I kind of hoped I knew where things were going and I wasn't wrong.

The only criticism of the book is that I thought I had a good 3+ hours of storyeft when it ended... And a prequel is included that gives some background to the characters.

Now I've got to wait for the second installment of the series!

Narration by Mark Boyett again top class, he's one of my favourites, the accent full of sssss that he does in this book is particularly creepy, which means he's doing a good job!

A great listen

Good narration and a good story. A science fiction setting where the humans are colonised by another race.

I’m looking forward to the next book!
