Starship: Pirate

De: Mike Resnick

Narrado por: Jonathan Davis, Mike Resnick

Captain Wilson Cole's latest exploit saved millions of lives but embarrassed his superiors. He is a man with a reputation for exceeding orders but getting results. Cole has found himself the victim of a media feeding frenzy, a political scapegoat despite years of dedicated military service. Faced with a court martial, he is rescued by the loyal crew of his ship, the Theodore Roosevelt. Now branded mutineers, the crew of the Teddy R. has quit the Republic, never to return.

Seeking to find a new life for themselves, Cole and comrades remake the Teddy R. as a pirate ship and set sail for the lawless Inner Frontier. There, powerful warlords, cut-throat pirates, and struggling colonies compete for survival in a game where you rarely get a second chance to learn the rules.

But military discipline is poor preparation for a life of pillaging and plundering, and Cole's principles limit his targets. Seeking an education on the nature of piracy, Cole hunts more knowledgeable players: the beautiful but deadly Valkyrie, the enigmatic alien fence David Copperfield, and the fearsome alien pirate known as the Hammerhead Shark.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Readers craving intelligent, character-driven SF need look no further." (Publishers Weekly)

Starship #2 Pirate (Sweet)

Starship #1 was rather nice to listen to.
But #2 was sweet could get enough I fell in love the the roles the added characters play as the book progress. "Just sweet"

Mike is really good!!

St<br /><br />Stellar narrator<br />

Good SF story, high adventure. One of the best narrations I've found. Very much recommended.

Much better than Starship Mutiny

This is the second book in Mike Resnick’s Starship series.

This book is much better than the first book Starship Mutiny, Mike Resnick’s sense of humor sneaks its way in, not as much as I would like, but it is present.

Even though I found this book not quite in the same league as Santiago or Widowmaker, it is a good read.

Simple and fun

Again i think the author makes simple and fun books, this one is no exception i think he does his research when he comes with a story line for this cast if you want to learn to be a pirate then take a listen great for most ages i think.

It Gets Better

Book 2 is worth taking a chance on if you had read Book 1 and thought it was a slow start.
It was. But Pirate picks up the pace and adds some interesting characters. The Narrator, Jonathan Davis, does an excellent job of allowing your imagination to believe you are listening to the different voices of all these characters.Forget the "he said, she said" complaint of a previous review, you'll be too engrossed with the action.
