The best Naval Scifi you'll find anywhere.

I loved every moment. Barnes was superb. I'll miss these characters for a long time.

Awesome Sci-fi Trilogy

I was expecting Cpt Garlicky or something...that is NOT what you get. Instead you get an awesome romp through space with killer turkeys at your throat with a sugar addicted potential alien ally. This guy can write...loved it, kept me glued to the story thru 6 books.

G00D Purchase...price per lbs

The amount of listening you get, for the price of 1 credit, makes it a bargain...
A little repetitive, predictable, and the narrator's voice aristocratic and annoying.

Well worth it. recharge your ear pods.

The boxset was a boon. The story is deep expansive and personal. The cast of characters are wide ranged and entertaining.

Each main character has enough depth to emphasize with them and the plot twist will get and keep you going. But not sooo much that you get bored.

No reveals here, but like most books, art imitates life. You will see the parallels and enjoy them.

The boxset is like bringing Netflix. Just one more chapter...

A good read.

A great series of books

I fully recommend this series of books. follow the adventures of the crew of blackbeard through civil war to fighting for their lives against a enemy that offers no quarter.

Good Listen

The book was good and entertaining, but not the kind of "you cannot miss anything they say" type of book. I dozed off several times or got distracted, then went back to paying attention and didn't miss anything significant. Overall, I would recommend

Join the Crew!

This is a thrilling journey through space and almost dizzying in scope. The story is filled with lore and history, which I am learning Michael Wallace is more than talented at developing. The pacing of these books are fantastic and I loved moving from vast battles between empires to the more specific stories of the Hroom and Singaporean soldiers. Moreover, the characters are well-rounded, believable, and likeable. It's hard to pick favorites but I adore spending time with Capp, Carvalho, and Nyb Pim.

These characters cannot be mentioned without also mentioning the narration and voice acting. The cast is huge and hearing a clear and discernable unique voice for each character is astounding when you remember it's all done by a single person. The voices match the attitudes and actions of the character without falling into cliché. The voices do change somewhat as this long series plays out. That's to be expected, and the voices only fit better as time progresses.

It would be difficult to gush about the story without writing a novel-length review, so I will simply say that it's immense and exciting. The enemies are terrifying, the emotions are strong, and the relationships are deep, flawed, and endearing. I could not help but feel I was part of the crew.

Disclaimer: I received a promotional code for this book. My review is as unbiased as possible.

Great Storl line

Good series that all connect together. Glad saga continues; ending would have been bad if it did not!

Great story

I will likely have have bad dreams about the apex predators, but what a great story. I highly recommend this book.

Love a good super box

Whew that was a marathon. So now I guess I’m going to have to pick up Void Queen, and have more people puzzle at my distant look as it secretly pipes into my ear. Epic.
