Against All Odds

A Military Sci-Fi Series (Grimm's War, Book 1)

De: Jeffery H. Haskell

Narrado por: Peter Berkrot

Wrong crew. Wrong ship. Right captain.

Idealistic navy Lieutenant Jacob Grimm just wanted to honor his mother's sacrifice in the last great war. When he's forced to return fire and destroy a squadron of ships to save his own, he thinks he's the hero....

Until they discover the ships are full of children.

Disgraced and denied promotion, Jacob's career is over. That is until the head of ONI needs a disposable officer to command a battered destroyer on the rim.

There's just one problem: Interceptor hasn't had a CO in months, and the ship is a mess. Worse, the system he's assigned to is corrupt and on the verge of all-out civil war with the Alliance.

However, no one told Jacob he was disposable.

Pirates, smugglers, and Caliphate spies complicate the situation, and one captain with an old ship can't enforce the law, let alone stop anyone.

The single greatest discovery of all time is about to change intergalactic politics forever. If Jacob doesn't find a way to succeed, then it won't just be the end of the Alliance, it will be the end of freedom for humanity.

From USA Today best-selling author Jeffery H. Haskell comes a military science-fiction epic in the tradition of Honor Harrington and Star Trek. If you love heroes and starships, you will love to stand with Commander Jacob T. Grimm against all odds. You're in the navy now!

A love letter to fellow service members

I’ve read military sci-fi since the early 90s. This book is among the finest in its class that I’ve encountered. TEven though set in space, it is thoroughly grounded with a modern military vibe. The story believably portrays the day-to-day life of a futuristic warship crew, taking time to develop the characters and their relationships. The action scenes grip all the more for this treatment. As an Army officer, I found myself thinking time and again how I might have handled each situation the crew did. Bravo to Jeffery for keeping my interest start to finish despite my notoriously short attention span.

Against All Odds

Not my usual genre but I really loved this action-packed military Sci-Fi book. I'll be picking up to read other Jeffery Haskell's books while anxiously awaiting the next addition of the Grimm's War series. Peter Berkrot's narration was spot on.

Surprisingly good. Solid pace. Good Writing.

Solid story. Draws on the genre but differentiates itself. Doesn't try to invest into overly explaining the technology but touches on it enough to tell the story.

Amazing balance to the story flow. Many other authors should take notes on how to keep a story moving!

Excellent

Really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for the next one. Never a full moment and the narrator was top notch.

Not bad at all

My only complaint is the narrator at times going between voices. Other than that, I recommend it.
