Publisher's summary
Only Omega can free humanity.
When the Ornu came, they took Earth in a single night. Humanity never stood a chance. Now, they force us to crew their ships and fight their wars for them. They hold Earth hostage, and if we refuse to do their bidding, they’ll lay waste to our precious blue marble. Slaughtering the billions who live there.
But when Captain Bill Henderson is sent to claim a small moon for his masters, he finds something they never accounted for. An ancient warship – a behemoth abandoned for millennia by a species that reached its peak at the dawn of the universe.
Could this ship of ages be exactly what humanity needs to cast off the shackles of their oppressors? Find out in Book 1 of Starship Omega, an engrossing new military sci fi saga from bestselling authors Scott Bartlett and Joshua James.

They called the ship Lady Vengence, and her Captain, Gavin Andal, was young, a bit arrogant, and the perfect fit for a bunch of misfits more interested in shore leave than work. Nobody was interested in being a hero. Sometimes there's no choice.

Glory barely survived its last battle twenty years ago. Captain Drake resigned rather than face court martial. But the enemy is back, and humanity needs everything that can fly. Maybe it’s not the ship at all but the crew. They hold the key. Drake rallies old and young alike to comply with orders so secret even he wasn’t allowed to see them until after the ship left the junkyard. Would it leave? That was another question. The core hadn’t been fired in twenty years.

Ben Dailey's Viper Company has one motto: Play hard and fight even harder. The crew is comprised of some of the most elite fighters in the Fleet, though occasionally overconfident and, some might say, obnoxious. So when Dailey is handed down a mysterious, high-security mission that's ostensibly a search-and-rescue for his once-upon-a-time academy rival turned brother in arms, he's convinced there's more to the job than meets the eye. Soon, the USF Murphy is on its way to the edge of the Void to track down what happened to Capt. Rick Bearing and the Asher-5.

Story
2110. Earth is suffering major resource shortages, and the impact of climate change is peaking. Colonies have been established on Mars and the Moon, but these cannot hope to sustain any more than hundreds of citizens. Attention has turned to the need to discover an extra-solar colony world. Scientists have identified the means of creating a wormhole in the space-time continuum, which would allow interstellar travel. However, to do so they must first physically transport one end of the wormhole to where they want it to be, so setting up a wormhole will always rely on physical travel.

On the battlefields of the future, death is not the end for a soldier. The Revenant Program collects badly wounded soldiers broken by war and converts them into unthinking, unfeeling cyborg weapons. Their bodies are immune to pain, their minds impervious to fear and doubt. All controlled by a neural implant called the Imperative. They are the ideal force for any mission too deadly or too difficult for normal men. A force that answers to the darkest corners of the military.

Mark Boyett talents are wasted in being narrator
I purchased this audible book due to the narrator, Mark Boyett. However, there is very little dialogue between the characters. Mostly descriptive, which anyone could be narrating. Very sparce on dialogue and character and personality development. Thoughts and descriptions are predominant. The bad guy aliens are comic book style. So totally cruel and evil, it seems funny

This is a gripping, exciting, high octane book!
I am a long-time fan of Scott Bartlett's and I have read most of the books he's written. I am relatively new to Joshua James, but I have now read a few of his books as well. These two together? Just think about Reese's cups. Peanut butter and chocolate may be good on their own, but when you put them together? Divine.
I was an early backer of the Kickstarter, so I had read about 20 chapters of the Forever Ship already, but wow, wow, wow, did this thing just pop. Bartlett and James together are much better than the sum of their parts.
I really liked the POV perspective changing for each chapter. It's easy to start hating the Ornu early on, There are many sub-plots with the complex and realistic characters, and the short POV chapters really keep the story moving. The Ornu are large, 4-armed snake-like sentient creatures that have enslaved humanity and several other races. They lead a stellar empire and humans are now a vassal race. Complete with embedded kill switches in their chests. They serve the Ornu. Let's call it what it is: All of humanity is now slaves to these greedy, narcissistic, and violently domineering overlords. And we humans aren't worth snap to them. They've sucked humanity dry for everything they considered useful, and keep us entertained with virtual reality and entertainment to serve them. Most of humanity has lost all hope, and in their despair have accepted the situation. But everyone knows that desperate times call for desperate actions. In this case, stumbling on ancient tech and an ancient immense battleship? That's alive? You can't get better than this.
It all starts quietly, with an odd signal in Primeval. Captain Bill Henderson, who the Ornu has re-educated since his grandfather and father went rogue on the Ornu, and XO Bina Chakravarti discover the signal, stave off the Ornu killing them, and then have the audacity to capture a dreadnaut! Captain Henderson is Captain of the Mark XI Patrol Ship Tennyson, and in that instant, his life changes, even though he doesn't know it yet, and it will never be the same.
And the action only goes up from there!
They say that history repeats itself, and in the case of Captain Bill and Bina, Al Stone the Marine Captain and his detachment, and those who are tired of being vassals for overbearing and oppressive alien snakes, who as far as I can tell have NO advantage but technology and firepower... I couldn't stop turning the pages.
This collaboration between Bartlett and James has wonderful worldbuilding and characters, fabulous story arcs, and edge-of-your-seat action. I stayed up listening way too late more than once. The chapters are pretty short, so it's easy to keep reading to see what will happen next. And you're going to want to.
Narrator Mark Boyett, who has narrated all of Scott's books, is perfect for this volume. His tone, his mannerisms, and his characterizations of different people, races, and situations bring the story to life. His nuances and subtle shifts convey so much beyond the words alone, and it is clear that he has a crystal clear grasp of the people and situations at play.
I can't wait for the following books in the series to come out. This is a 100% must-read / must-listen.

Do you like military sci-fi? Do you like Scott Bartlett? Scott and Josh batted this one out of the park. With the addition of Mark Boyett, these guys are the dream team for military sci-fi. Fast paced, entrenching, can’t wait for the next installment.

Unbearable
I don't know what kind of masochist you need to be to enjoy a book like this, but not even the payoff was enough of a salve to mitigate this disaster.
Humanity has been beaten down so much that they're no better than dogs. It's like reading a book where the entire cast are from North Korea, except these humans aren't indoctrinated. They chaffe but they still bow and grovel to hold onto these garbage lives as slaves, like cockroaches just hoping to live for the sake of living.
Even when things inevitably turn in their favour, I felt nothing. They didn't grab victory with their own hands, it was given to them. I hold no respect for these miserable sacks.
That's all remarkably negative, and I'm still rating it a 3. My gripes, save for the lack of focus and ridiculous overabundance on multiple POVs that add nothing, are all personal preference.
And my preference is that I despised this.

Enjoying the listen!
So right up-front, I'm still listening to this one. I'm enjoying the story thus far. The story thus far is Quality Sci-Fi and a great narrator. I like how the story is told through the eyes of multiple characters. The narrator uses a number of accents, voice pitches, and vocal stylings to represent different characters.
I'll update with a more comprehensive review when I've finished the listen.
Update after finishing my listen:
I've listened to a lot of Scott Bartlett's books. I enjoy his writing. The Forever Ship was a great listen. I like the POV writing.
The characters all have backgrounds that affect their actions and decisions in significant ways.
This new world has a lot of possibilities. I'm looking forward to see where Scott and Joshua take things.

The Primevals
The Primevals left a lot of their advanced tech around the galaxy after they left. The Ornu, who are masters of many races including humans capture and use this tech to make themselves stronger and increase their hold over their many vassal species. However, Capt Bill Henderson and his crew of the Ornu ship Tennyson discover the Primeval Warship Omega! With Omega’s help Bill, Bena Chakravarti, his XO and Al Stone and his Marine detachment decide to go rogue and defy the Ornu! This is a really exciting start to this series with rich characters, and exciting story arc and fast action!! I can’t wait for more, Scott and Joshua have created a marvelous universe in which to spin this tale. Get this book, you’ll be glad you did
