Crown of Slaves

The story is what I'd give four stars to. As for the narrator, Peter Larkin, I'd give two and a half, maybe three.
He mutters too much, and it makes it hard to understand what he's saying at times.
They should have used either Allyson Johnson or Jay Snyder.

"Pure Politics"

It tells about political situation which occurred after Highridge's government neglect of Erewhon‎.
During that situation Erewhon‎ sold star alliance Tech to PRH, also there are some more interesting events.

PS
Narrator wasn't bad, it just took some time to adjust.

Somewhere in the middle this is good old entertainment not an epic story but a good read.

This is another in a long line of Weber books if you have not read all are at least some you will be missing a lot in the story although it is a stand alone book.

I have never listened to Peter Larkin"s performances before but his is a very can make it come alive..

not realy just a good read.

As always I will stop and buy a new David Weber book any time I see a new one.

Enjoyed this story and I also would have preferred Allyson Johnson as the narrator but at least Peter Larkin does a better female voice than Snyder. The other books mention the new slave star kingdom of Torch, so it was great to hear the story of it's creation.. The life of Midshipman Helen Zilwicki was covered in another sub-series. This book covers the creation of Queen Barry Zilwicki and the star kingdom of Torch. The action of the two young girls gave an excitment to the story as Princess Ruth Winton was so enthralled with her role as the computer spy for the control of Congo. This book fills in the detail that other book in the series did not cover. Can not wait for the next in the series. I do hope Audible will carry all the books in these sub-series.

1st mistake: They didn't use Allyson Johnson as they had for all the honor harrington books so the pronounciation changed for many of the names as well as the personality of the characters.

2nd mistake: The narrator has such a big change between when he's projecting and reading normally and when he's speaking softly that I had to constantly amp up the volume of my ipod.

If you enjoyed Honor Harrington stuff...dont download this audiobook.

I believe this is one of the best if one has followed the series. I gave it and the narrator [ Peter Larkin] 5 stars.

I suppose this would appeal ot fans of David Weber's Honor Harrington series and, though set in the same universe, it is not an Honor Harrington story. Fans of the space opera might enjoy this story.

I found the reason this book was on sale. It was short on story and long on rehashing everything over and over. I felt like each idea or concept had to be discussed from every character's point of view. It made the book overly verbose and lacking in a stong story line to keep the pace going. The characters talk about everything, then spend minimal time actually doing those things.

Good characterization. Good distinction betweem character voices.

Too many to count.

Very disappointed.

All I can say is that I liked it enough to buy the second listen in the series.

Crown of Slaves is a hypocritical wirlwind of a continuous, boring conversation.

Add some excitment

This book is the first in a series that fills in the gaps in the Honor Harrington series by David Weber. Incidents mentioned in the Honor Harrington books are more thoroughly detailed in this book and series.

Wanted to here the "complete" story starting with "Crown of Slaves".

No. However his performance is excellent.

Not really, It is 19+ hours long.

No.
