Summary

The battle at the galactic center had been a great victory for the Federation and the Alliance but at a tremendous cost. The Battleship Avenger and her fleets had vanished being drawn into a great white vortex at the moment of victory. For over four years, the mystery of what happened to the Avenger has haunted the Federation.

The last two survivors of the Special Five have built a powerful exploration cruiser to go off in search of the lost fleets. They are convinced that the fleets have survived and are trapped in another galaxy. What they find in their search will be a threat to the Federation far greater than the AIs and the Hocklyns had ever been. The fate of thousands of worlds will depend on the Distant Horizon finding those that were lost and stopping this new and dangerous menace.

In former Hocklyn space, the Borzon and the Shari are on the move. Their fleets are seizing large areas to add to their own Slave Empires. Admiral Race Tolsen and Third Fleet are sent to push the Borzon and Shari back to ensure the recently freed worlds don't once more fall into slavery. Unknown to Admiral Tolsen is the fact that he has an important role to play in the survival of the lost fleets, as well as the galaxy.

The acting spoiled the book

This was hard to listen to. All the voices are the same, the "acting" was not good.

Meh…

I listen to a LOT of sci fi books and without a doubt this was the worst experience.

The story is fine, I’m guessing I should have started with a previous set of books to get more of a connection with characters/etc as there was seemingly no real development in this book, just telling us how special the special 5 are. Often.

I could have forgiven the middle of the road story if it weren’t for the truly frustrating narration…

Who the flip is reading science fiction and hasn’t heard of Gaia?!? Seriously… so many words mispronounced, so many badly emphasised sentences… how has no one listened to this and said, hey buddy, you need to re-record this cause it’s wrong?

Does audible not do QA? Have all those other hundreds of books I’ve listened to just been lucky?

Poor narration let's down an average book.

The narrator is annoying as hell. Putting the wrong emphasis in the wrong places, reading the punctuation incorrectly, as well as some really poor character vocals.
I would probably have bought more of these books but can't bear to listen to that guy again.

Please redo the audio. its terrible.

The audio narration is ok for a quick news storey - but terrible for audiobooks. I might give this another go in the future. But, It'll be book version for me.
Returned the first 3 in the series for a refund.

Read terribly

Would you try another book written by Raymond L. Weil or narrated by Liam Owen?

Please make a note of the name Liam Owen and avoid any book narrated by him.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Fleet: Galactic Search?

I can not remember anything other than how irritating the narrator was.

Would you be willing to try another one of Liam Owen’s performances?

Never

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anger that someone had messed up narration of a book so badly.

Any additional comments?

Is there a way to get a refund for something this bad? Will someone competent re-do this book? I noticed that the rest of the series is read by someone else.
