About this listen

Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past. The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.

But Avalon has been a backwater posting for 10 years and has problems a mere refit can't fix. The systems along her planned tour have been seeing pirates for the first time in decades, and there are rumblings of Commonwealth scouting ships all along the border. It may be Avalon's final tour, but it looks to be anything but quiet.

I enjoyed the story. however it was hard not to quit before the end as every couple of minutes I was constantly told where we were, who was talking what ship we were on and what time it was.. AND what time it was on earth... sooooo annoying I had a headache by the end. can't see me following this series with all the clock watching added... pity

voice performance very good

Starts off a little slow and has all the hallmarks of normal military sci-fi, which I often find can be a little dry. This transcends that though and by the end of the final book is a compelling story with interesting character arcs and each book is different but consistent.

At time of review the first 6 books are free, it is a no brainer to at least try the series. Me I enjoyed the whole series enough to purchase the last two books in the series when I finished all the free ones.

I found it difficult to follow the story. I am not sure if it is the book or the narrator’s choppy execution.
So many characters introduced from get go .
People drifting into and out of the story. Could not follow who is who.
It seems that the author wrote the book and he saw clearly the action in his mind’s eye. However, it is a different experience for the reader. My suggestion either buy a hard copy of the book or have a pen and paper ready to jot down key points, thus making it easier to follow WHAT is going on. Overall, try it , you may get a better experience.

A muddled story line.
