The Intrepid Saga: Books 1-3 & Orion War: Destiny Lost

Aeon 14, Book 1

De: M. D. Cooper

Narrado por: Khristine Hvam

Right after she finishes her BLT, disgraced Major Tanis Richards is off to save the day one more time.

Tanis is looking forward to a long journey in stasis before arriving at the newly terraformed world of New Eden. New Life. New Start. Getting a berth on the Intrepid is her ticket out of the Sol System.

But nothing proves easy for Major Tanis Richards. Nothing is at it seems. What should be a simple trip is fraught with danger and filled with adventure. An array of forces seek to stop the Intrepid - no matter the cost, or lives lost. From competing corporations, to stellar eco-terrorists, no one wants the Intrepid to arrive at New Eden.

Through their journey, the crew of the Intrepid will face rival stellar governments, civil war, and the most wanted serial killer known to the galaxy. Pivoting their role from colonists to saviors.

Perhaps it's because the Intrepid carries the most valuable secret known to humanity. Or maybe it's just Tanis's luck.

Awe inspiring Sace Opera

I have read this series before, but it was great to listen to the performance. I really ad.ire Mallory as a world, or in this case, galaxy builder. I love how the answer to the Fermi Paradox is answered here. It doesn't hurt that we have such great and engaging characters to help answer it.

fun and lighthearted

it's a very magicky scifi, not very scientific at all, but it's a fun and actionpacked listen. I like the strong female MC a lot, all of her chaotic, adrenaline junkie energy is really fun and fresh. she is smart and intelligent, but tends to just feel a pull towards danger, which puts her in a lot of stupid dangerous situations.

I wish it either didn't have the romantic relationship, or it was done better, because it's pretty baseless and icky. the dude is controlling, petulant and patronising towards her and her way of life and at the same time claims to be in love with a woman like her, just like she is? those two things can't both be true. their relationship feels forced and weird, they talk about love when they seem to barely even know each other or have any chemistry. especially weird seems the magnitude of feeling Tanis has towards him, when she seems to pretty much just find his smile/laugh attractive and like his general vibe. she seems to act like she is just responding to an attractive guy who keeps pursuing her, and she doesn't seem to mind or even notice his controlling and patronising tendencies at all, which is not really in line with the rest of her personality imo.

I'm glad it's not a massive part of the story, so it doesn't ruin it altogether for me. relationships like this are just a pet peeve for me, I'm sure most people won't find it bothersome at all. I would definitely recommend this book!

audio narrator is not the best, but passable. she has a pleasant enough voice, but I have difficulty recognizing who is talking and keep mistaking her "male voices" as older feminine coded voices, so I end up thinking some men are women and then finding out they weren't. it's not that big of an issue and I like her different accents etc.

could use a couple significant male characters...

I love strong female characters but this is a bit too much. even Joe is really Tanisha candy. sometimes it's just the story... but every main character is a woman?every time?

Great narration, solid storyline

good strong characters, solid storytelling. Brought in enough tech speak to sound plausible without getting bogged down in it

narrator pronounces things wrong

love the story. have read the books. The narrator was decent but sometimes using the wrong voice for a character and pronouncing some things wrong which throw you off when listening.

Excellent story line

Very good story line that will keep you engaged. It ends with a cliff hanger. How do you find the next series

pretty good

i didn't know what too expect when i see an add for this on Facebook but im glad i got it

Fantastic story but a mountain of acronyms

Excellent story but really needs a glossary for the acronyms. Should have read them out a few more times. Definitely reccomend writing some of them down.

awsome!

seat gripping, and very well played out. wish they would name the following book, at the end.

Narration is excellent

I really enjoyed all of these books and the narration was a huge part of that. Hvam’s voice is pleasant to listen to, and her ability to change her voice for different characters truly pulls you into the story. I’ve stopped listening to many books due to bad or annoying narrations- this is one I wish could continue.
