About this listen

Not long ago, the starship Freedom was a museum ship. A relic of a bygone era. A rusty old warship converted into a tourist trap.

Then the aliens attacked. Now, once more, the legendary Freedom flies to war.

The war is brutal. The enemy is merciless. The rahs, vicious arachnids from deep space, crave only one thing. Human flesh. Before this terror, Earth’s fleet crumbles. Starships burn. Millions die. But the Freedom still flies. James King, her gruff old commander, still fights.

The Freedom will never surrender. The Freedom will never flee. The long, cold night has come to Earth, but the Freedom shines bright. The survivors of the fleet rally behind her. All brave souls heed her call. The Freedom sounds the cry of Earth: We will win!

Repeated Continuity errors and logic errors in the story.
Characters have a same crisis of confidence over and over, descriptions of the various technologies are repeated over and over to the point of just been filler.
The bad guys are moustache twisting spiders with terrible dialog, who have advanced ship tech but don’t use personal weapons ???
I could go on but ……….
