About this listen

Ark Royal - the Royal Navy’s outdated space carrier - has won a smashing victory against the enigmatic aliens, capturing one of their starships and returning to Earth. Now, Admiral Theodore Smith and his crew are assigned to command a fleet charged with making a deep-penetration raid into alien territory, a fleet made up of carriers from four different nations. But with a crewman who isn't what he seems, untested pilots and international friction - and a new and dangerous alien plan - can Ted and his crew survive their mission...or will they die, alone and unremarked, hundreds of light years from home?

Great Series

I love everything about this series, the action, character drama, sex scenes and the narrator is good too.

The aliens are alien and mysterious, and creepy, and battle scenes are glorious! It's also pretty grounded and the military stuff seems very accurate.

I thoroughly enjoyed this

[{ "answer" : "Yes, after devouring the first audio book in the series - Ark Royal - in a single listen, I immediately purchased this, listened to it at work, and then proceeded to re-listen to Ark Royal again.

A great story continued!

Listening to this book is like having to endure the mores of early 20th century. The author appears to have misogynistic views, women are secondary players in the story but men do not fare any better the development of their characters is abysmal as well.
I did think the stories premise had bones.
I could not finish this book and I have wasted a credit.
