Sol

The Silver Ships Series, Book 5

De: S. H. Jucha

Narrado por: Grover Gardner

Sol's warships paid the ultimate price for threatening the Haraken and New Terran worlds. Now, Haraken president Alex Racine and his Méridien partner, Renée de Guirnon, are engaged in a desperate gamble to stop a war between their worlds and United Earth's (UE) massive forces before it starts.

What's Alex's grand plan? He hasn't a clue, but his people believe in him and hope he will find a way to protect them. Alex does have powerful assets: the Haraken space fleet; the genius SADEs, mobile Haraken digital intelligences; and the defected UE scientists, who are providing a wealth of intelligence about their home world.

Arriving at Sol, Alex discovers the perfect opportunity to make his statement to the UE Supreme Tribunal in the form of the aging Idona Station, which has fallen into disrepair as UE militia and rebels battle for control. Alex explains his unorthodox plan when he says, "The UE tribunes will succumb when we overpower them with prosperity."

The Harakens work to meld Idona's militia, stationers, and rebels into the Haraken's view of the world, one based on peace, purpose, and equality. The Tribunal is at odds over the Harakens' interference in their system, forcing the rifts in the UE's political structure to widen into chasms.

In the exciting conclusion to Haraken, the series' previous book, Sol is the story of a clash of cultures and ideals as Earthers struggle to find a way toward a successful new future.

excellent series great storyline

I love the storyline as well as the narrator I can't wait for the next book in the series

The solar systems are quickly unifying...

This series is a great space opera. However I’m finding the political situations more and more unbelievable as each book continues to up the ante with the main character always succeeding. The lack of a real over arching struggle is starting to take me out of the story. it starting to seem like the main character just can’t lose regardless of the odds. I’ll be taking a break before moving on to book 6.

Woohoo

finally! an author that actually finishes a book without you going" what happened !? " I hate cliff hangers.
really detailed ! just get through it! it's worth it!

Engrossing

The Harakens with President Alex Racine and Renee de Guirnon have arrived in the Sol system in the hopes of preventing a war. They take over the dilapidated Idona space station. They get the rebels and station Militia to work together. The corruption is stopped. Maintenance on the station begins with reasonable fees posted and fast, clean, safe service to ships. They also get the ore processing station open for business. The ships are returning to the station. First come the freighters and the ore haulers, then the passenger ships. Workers are paid and treated fairly and the Idona station becomes self-governing and most of all the economy is surging. The tribune that represents the Judiciary on the Tribunal Council orders an attack against the Harakens. The Harakens defeat the Judicial Naval force. The political battle for the UE widens. Can the Harakens help the citizens of Sol solve their problems and prevent a war with Haraken or a civil war?

The book is well written. The plot twists and turns with lots of action and suspense. There is lots of personal interaction amongst the people as well as with the political leaders. There is subtle humor throughout as well as an upbeat attitude and hope. The book is easy to read and is most enjoyable.

The book is twelve hours long. Grover Gardner does an excellent job narrating the book. Gardner has a voice that is very easy to listen to. Gardner is a multi-award-winning audiobook narrator.

Another good story in a fun series

Once again we get a good story with plenty of sci-fi action.We have many of the same characters and a few new ones. I like the author and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

Better Then the last one

This book did better than the last one But once again the transvestite sage took center stage Really an odd twist In a set of books that really could have went somewhere.

Love the characters and each story is unique with the underlying challenges of being human and trying to be better than our natural nature. Hope, humor and some interesting hazards are always present, thanks for a great read!
