Story
An ancient starship discovered... An eternal enemy revealed... An impossible mission to save humankind. The Goliath has been discovered, the first of its secrets revealed. Now the race is on for Captain Mitchell Williams and his crew to return to Liberty and recover Origin's lost memories before the enemy can complete their violent conquest. It's a mission with a near-zero chance of success. A mission that only the Riggers would be crazy enough to accept - and skilled enough to survive.

Colonel Mitchell "Ares" Williams has never been one to accept failure. While the outcome on Liberty is a crushing setback to his and the Riggers' chances of salvaging the war, there's no time to waste on regret. After all, the mission wasn't a total loss, delivering an unexpected asset in the wake of their defeat - Liun Tio, aka the Knife, a notorious warlord and enemy of the Alliance whose deep-seated mistrust of artificial intelligence and control over what may be the largest free fleet in the galaxy have made him the most important man alive.

Story
The enemy is coming. The enemy is already here. For years they’ve prepared, plotted, and planned. For years they’ve waited to strike from above and below. Earth is under siege. The enemy covers the landscape. Proxima is unharmed. But that’s about to change. No armies can stop this menace, and no defenses can slow the advance. We are scattered and isolated. We are ignorant and weak. No help is coming. No help remains...or does it? Old heroes will sacrifice everything. New heroes will rise.

Story
Earth is in turmoil. The enemy is bearing down on us with every warship they have, and our only allies are in chaos. Our one hope for survival is Andy Clanton - a hack science fiction writer trying to convince some aliens that humans are worth saving. It’s an uphill battle, because to the aliens, we are the monsters. We look just like their sworn enemies, the Tevynians, who’ve sworn to wipe out both our civilizations. When everything falls apart and the fate of the galaxy is on the line, can Andy Clanton pull our fat out of the fire?
Publisher's Summary
Captain Mitchell "Ares" Williams is a space marine and the hero of the Battle for Liberty, whose shot heard 'round the universe saved the planet from a nearly unstoppable war machine. He's handsome, charismatic, and the perfect poster boy to help the military drive enlistment. Pulled from the war and thrown into the spotlight, he's as efficient at charming the media and bedding beautiful celebrities as he was at shooting down enemy starfighters.
After an assassination attempt leaves Mitchell critically wounded, he begins to suffer from strange hallucinations that carry a chilling and oddly familiar warning:
They are coming. Find the Goliath, or humankind will be destroyed.
Convinced that the visions are a side effect of his injuries, he tries to ignore them only to learn that he may not be as crazy as he thinks. The enemy is real and closer than he imagined, and they'll do whatever it takes to prevent him from rediscovering the centuries-lost starship.
Narrowly escaping capture, out of time and out of air, Mitchell lands at the mercy of the Riggers - a ragtag crew of former commandos who patrol the lawless outer reaches of the galaxy. Guided by a captain with a reputation for cold-blooded murder, they're dangerous, immoral, and possibly insane.
They may also be humanity's last hope for survival in a war that has raged beyond eternity.

Slower moving than molasses out doors in January.
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
There's nothing I enjoy more than laying back with my eyes closed, listening to a long audio-book, perhaps even a series,.but there simply must be a reason it's long. Give me content, not hours of back story about characters in chapter 10, that you intend to kill off in Chapter 12,
What could M.R. Forbes have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Don't spend 18 chapters building characters and in 5 minutes throw all of physics in the trashcan, introduce a new idea of preconceiving by something called "circular time". Up until the 18th of chapter this audio book was moving so slow that I couldn't imagine listening to it for the full 9+ hours required to finish it.
What aspect of Jeffrey Kafer’s performance would you have changed?
Not much at all. The poor man was handicapped by the author.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
The level of disappointment felt was Eminence. I enjoy long books and I enjoy long series of good books even more, but the author must be up to the challenge. This was the first book I've bought by M.R. Forbes and I might try another in the future, but it will not be a book from this series.

Amazing Start for a New Series. Great Sci-fi.
I thought that this was an excellent audiobook. It was original, unpredictable, well performed, left me excited for the next book in the series.
The Starship Eternal storyline held elements similar to 2 other book series (Though, in my opinion, it had a much better execution).
The first is The Lost Starship series by Vaughn Heppner. The similarity here is the overall story concept that involves the main character looking for a "lost ship" that may hold the key to defeating a new and deadly threat.
The Synchronicity War series by Dietmar Wehr was the other series that came to mind, with story that involves time traveling messages.
Now, normally I'm not a fan of stories that involve time travel, but this one included it as only a part of the overall plot without making it seem too unrealistic (in my opinion) and is still able to keep all of the space space battles and other great sci-fi content.
The story starts with a marine who was recently involved in a massive space battle. It should have been a total defeat, but thanks to a design flaw in a new enemy ship and a lucky shot by the main character it became a last minute win. Now a hero, the military has assigned him to public relations duty. He’s sent around to talk shows, recruiting drives, and dinners with famous people. He begins to fall into a deep depression due to the loss of the rest of his unit, including his lover.
After a misunderstanding involves him being framed for the rape of the prime minister’s wife, a stranger helps him escape the planet. The stranger turns out to be a future version of himself, and tells him that he came from a different timeline to save him and alter future events. If the main character can’t find a ship that dates back to the early days of earth (called the Goliath), then the human race will be destroyed by a new mysterious enemy.
He escapes the planet in a small modified fighter, and is picked up by an old mining ship. The ship turns out to actually be a covert ops naval ship that is manned by highly skilled ex-military personnel who have committed serious crimes. The secret program allowed highly promising service members to continue to serve in the military rather then face death sentences or life in prison. Most of the missions they are assigned to are dangerous with very low survival rates, and the crew is essentially considered expendable.
As human planets begin to fall to these new aliens, the main character must rely on the crew of criminals, an old mining ship, and obscure clues to find a way to find the long lost ship and stop the new seemingly invincible foe.
I thought that this was an outstanding book. All of the characters seemed real, the story is full of twists and surprises, and there is a lot of action including several space battles.
The narrator did a great job as well.
This one was definitely worth the credit. I can’t wait for the next in the series!

Similar to The Lost Starship
The story is very reminiscent of The Lost Starship. I won't give away the plot but the author did a good job with character development and basic storyline. The explanation of the story line gets quite confusing seemingly intentionally when it didn't need to be. The end of the book also seemed quite rushed reminding of a movie that's run low on the budget reserves. It didn't take the time to fully develop the wonder of it. I was certain through 3/4 I would immediate purchase the series but I'm no longer sure. Overall still a good story but nowhere near the Lost Starship series to me.

full of action and plot twists
Captain Mitchell Williams is the celebrated hero of the recent battle which saved Planet Liberty. Unfortunately, it’s all a lie, his wing mate and lover actually did it, sacrificing herself in a suicide attack against overwhelming odds. But the Alliance is keeping quiet, using Mitchell as a PR pawn to attract military recruits. The Alliance and Federation are 400 year old Earth factions who have been at war since an alien ship crashed into the Earth in the mid-21st Century.
Mitchell hates taking the credit, but goes along with the ruse until he is lured into a sexual liaison with the Prime Minister’s wife. Accused of rape and exposed as a fraud, he has only one option—run—but where? He is helped by criminals, an antique ship with future technology and even his past self. Barely making it to the edge of known space, he finds more questions than answers.
Starship Eternal has some time travel elements, but they are more conceptual than actual. Most of the action is real time and no one is jumping forward or backward at will. The novel is more of a high-tech military story with plenty of fighting action and military situations, brain implants, medical nano-bots, lasers and force fields. Much of the story takes place on a mining ship full of court-martialed misfits who run espionage runs when they aren’t trying to kill each other.
There is plenty of action throughout the story to keep any space war junky happy. Mitchell has every woman after him, getting enough sex for half the galaxy, though none of it described explicitly.
The story is read by Jeffery Kafer who does a very good job. He has a pleasant baritone voice and is good with character changes. You will enjoy listening to his voice through the length of the novel and presumably, through the sequels.
Starship Eternal is a great ride, full of action and plot twists that keep the listener thoroughly entertained. Though, technically SciFi military, it has a lot of space opera elements that give it a much wider feeling. Time travel is a central element of the story, but the scientific explanations don’t hold much water, better not to over think it. Just go with it and enjoy the ride. The novel wraps up the initial action well while still leading the listener to the sequel.

Excellent series!
I listened to one of M R Forbes by Jeff Hays. And really enjoyed it, so naturally I looked to see if he'd more audiobook series. Ooo look and yes it's by Jeffrey Kafer. An audio Narrator of impeccable standards with SciFi and someone who I really enjoy listening to. So it was a given I'd buy all 4 of these books (shame that he's not got the 5th one out already.. come on guys...... keep going!)
Anyway, so the first book. A very enjoyable story. Mitch, is an awkward character to get to like at first. Driven to act out a lie in order to get more people to join the Alliance war effort. A really crappy situation for anyone. I would think the only thing that really gets to me is how much the women do swoon over this marine... yes he's been bigged up as a hero, but really are women that shallow, is he that shallow?
Well we soon learn that even though he is a bit of a shallow person he's hidden depths to his reasons. The love he had for Ella who was the real Hero of Liberty does come across, and I can quite see him sleeping with anyone and anything just because he's actually pretty traumatised by the whole event.
When he chooses to bed his latest conquest it really doesn't go well. And this is the catalyst to his escape and joining forces with Admiral Norian, of the Riggas. A criminal outcast military organisation...
The twists and turns in this are really well done, fast paced, full of action and exciting. I couldn't wait to tune in for the next one.
Awesome team up here, great writing, and a narrator who pulls off any character thrown his way. Highly recommended.

Good book
It’s a bit of a ‘blokey’ book but it’s an interesting story. I’m guessing it’s the first of a number of books and I’ll definitely listen to the next one.

A good solid bit of science fiction.
A good story with some nice little twists. Has everything a science fiction story should. some of the lines are a bit cheesy but all in all this is a great listen.
