About this listen
Get the Flight of the Javelin box set, featuring all three books in the Amazon best-selling series. Space opera action perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jennifer Foehner Wells, and JN Chaney.
Fifteen years into a 20-year voyage, war veteran Captain Throttle Reyne is looking forward to taking a break from dealing with malfunctions, glitches, and the hassles of monitoring a thousand colonists in cryo-sleep.
But when her colony ship breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Throttle and her crew must leave the colonists behind to search for help. They find a ship that's not only missing a crew...it's clearly not from their star system.
It's the discovery of a lifetime. All they need to do is tow the mysterious vessel back to their colony ship for further study, and Throttle won't ever have to work again. One problem. While they're away, the colony ship is stolen - with the colonists still on board.
Throttle gives chase to a lawless star system on the outer rim. To get their colonists back, they must take on the pirates and ganglords who will do anything - and sell anyone - to make a buck.
They play dirty. But Throttle and her crew play dirtier.
Don't miss your chance to experience this space opera thrill ride in this special edition omnibus. Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of unforgettable characters both human and alien.
Books included in the set:
Book One: Black Sheep

I like that the three parts tell quite different stories with a central thread stringing them together. Unfortunately though there are two major detractors, which are:
1. The story lines are really only re-hashes of other common scifi themes; and
2. The narration is utterly annoying. Every single sentence is read with a false and entirely unnecessary sense of breathless drama. On top of that the voice characterisations are horribly clichèd. it's a real shame because the narrator has a good voice, enunciates clearly and would otherwise be pleasant to listen to.
If you like action style, space jock scifi then you'll enjoy this as long a you can endure the narration.
