Ark Royal

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

"If you wish for peace, prepare for war." (Royal Navy Motto)

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons. Ark Royal and her mismatched crew must go on the offensive, buying time with their lives And yet, with a drunkard for a Captain, an over-ambitious first officer and a crew composed of reservists and the dregs of the service, do they have even the faintest hope of surviving....

And returning to an Earth which may no longer be there?

Good war story, little SciFi flavor.

Good overall, but doesn't fit in the hard science fiction category, due to a lack of imaginative, speculative technology and it's effects on society. Worth listening to for entertainment.

Essentially the British Halo Prologue

Pretty good book, but essentially Contact Harvest from a Brit's point of view. But I do recommend it.

Great book!

If you could sum up Ark Royal in three words, what would they be?

Very well written

Any additional comments?

I really like the narrator, it was a well written book and his voice brings it to life.

awesome story line, but repetitive to the extreme

Is there anything you would change about this book?

it's would be a better product if the author didnt repeat things so often...ei (wollowing pig),ect.
I'm not sure if Mr. Nuttall, thinks his readers have zero memory, or is just puffing up the pages by constant repetition.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

the Narrator was too loud often times followed by to soft spoken.

recommend

Pretty decent start to the series,if you enjoy the authors other works you will not be disappointed
the only part of the story I did not care for was the narrator,not so bad it takes away from the story though.
