Prisoner's Hope

The Seafort Saga, Book 3

De: David Feintuch

Narrado por: Vikas Adam

While recovering from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained in Challenger's Hope, Nick Seafort is named as the liaison between the wealthy planters of Hope Nation and the United Nations Navy. The lurking, acid-spewing, fish-shaped aliens are a real threat, and everyone is on edge. When the fleet returns to Earth, dissent grows among the people of Hope Nation, who feel abandoned by the military and left at the mercy of the alien horde. The Seafort Saga continues as Nick Seafort takes on powerful rebels at home, the cold-blooded aliens, and his own self-doubt. He must make a choice that could save Hope Nation but would also sentence him to death.

The continuing adventures of an unbearable protagonist.

As this is the third book in the series, this review is aimed at other readers who are continuing on from book 2, if you are a new reader, give Midshipman's Hope a shot!

This book represents both a high point and low point for the series so far. High due to the larger amount of action, conspiracy and enjoyable side characters (such as Seaforts former bully from his days of academy).

The low point focuses on Seafort himself, while his religious convictions certainly add much to the story surrounding him, his depressive state throughout most of this book is neigh-unbearable. He unfairly brutalizes those who rely on him and feels that since he previously broke an oath with God, he was irredeemable and such, does not worry about his abominable behavior.

By the end of this book, he has alienated, killed or enraged most of the people who have faith in him.

As Captain Seafort has said previously, the UN Navy would be better off if he was dead.

A most excellent book.

I will listen to this book, or read it, over and over again over the next several years. It is just that good!

Too dark

I really like this series but this book was a bit too depressing. Nevertheless I am Looking forward to the next one..

A new experience for me!

I have never wanted the protagonists to be killed off or die until this book. Nick Seafort is a sadomasochistic, religious extremists, paranoid “hero” with no companion or empathy. This is only the third book of seven and I am not sure I am interested in continuing on. It is totally impossible to relate to the protagonist in any way!

yay

the readers accents are amazing, and he nails a good story telling cadence. the story keeps you intrested
