Okay, but not great

This might be a new series being launched from the Whirlwind Series. In this story we have a luxury Space Liner on its maiden voyage. A hyperspace trap is sprung by aliens and the story begins. The book is well written. The basic idea of the story is ageless. I don’t think the story is up to the usual Nuttall standard. The owner of the ship and his two daughters are aboard the vessel and they are the key people in the story. Later in the book, the action is good. There was more foul language in this book than I can remember in all Nuttall’s other books. Ove all it is an interesting story. The book is thirteen hours and fifty-nine minutes. Jennifer Jelsema does a good job narrating the book. Jelsema is a new narrator for me. Jelsema is an actress, voice actor and audiobook narrator.

FILLER JUNK

Would you try another book from Christopher G. Nuttall and/or Jennifer Jelsema?

Only because most of the previous books have been pretty good, unlike this one

What could Christopher G. Nuttall have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Make it a stand alone book or new series. This seemed like a mix of ideas tossed into a book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jennifer Jelsema’s performances?

I really can't say because the book was so off series.

Any additional comments?

Shortly after the book starts there is a warning that basically this book does not belong in the series or at the very least is so far out of the time line that it is crazy.
There are brief mentions of the war the series is/was about.
I'm asking for a refund. Maybe the book would have been OK if I had not expected it to be logically next in the series, this is probably should have been book 55, not 5.

Missed the mark

The Angel in the whirlwind series was good, but this wasn't. By the end I found myself not even caring if they got out or not.

Awful

I don't like horror stories, and this is a horror story. Boring beginning, boring middle, boring climax and depressing end. I suppose if you like horror and stories where everyone dies, you might think differently but I expected a space adventure so...

Good story, annoying narrator.

This narrator has trouble with hard consonants. Here are a few examples: Didn't becomes dint, rotten is ra-enn, couldn't is coont, important is imporant. Thank goodness for Kindle where you can read the book in Standard English.

Well crafted story but much slower

A well crafted story which includes elements of many different genres that proceeds to a new beginning as much as an ending. Commercial space line attacked by pirates and then by an alien intelligence before crashing in a unknown system. Rich young women faces the realities of her life. Attendants discover the leadership skills hidden within. Alien intelligence alters lives and then disappears as the liner appears to escape. Worth a listen, but no need to rush it to the top of your TBL pile.

I give it a D for don't bother.

Lazy rehash of a crappie star trek episode. Written like the author was paid by the word. Would have been better at 1/3 the length. How many times do we need to be subject to the caption monologing about how corporate would blame everything on him, or engineering brag about go cleaver they were using lots of little batteries. Villans were all one demonstrational, protagonists shallow, world building haphazard, plot was monotonous. Could have thrown a twist or two in, serial killer could have been setup, knowing details of the conspiracy. The escape could have been enacted by using the ship in storage to make the hyperspace bubble. This book needs a rewrite, can't believe it actually got an Audiobook. Narration was adequate, but it's hard to polish mud.

Miss Cat F. But still a great story!

Was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed this novel. While not about Cat F. The characters are well written and easily relatable. The story flows smoothly from start to finish. Overall a great read!

Enjoyable

Started off slow but ended great. I just wonder if their might be another book after this.

Disappointed

I am one of this author’s greatest fans, I have all his book, some still waiting to be read. By chapter 12 I gave up, boring non-plot, insipid characters and totally not what I expected. Thanks
