Resumen del Editor

Hold tight...things are about to get bumpy.

In his oppressively small 10x10 cell at the Norfolk Naval Station’s Brig, Captain Galvin Quintos sits awaiting his impending court-martial when he's unexpectedly contacted by Fleet Commander Admiral Block. He’s proposing an off-book, secret operation, coming at the request of the Pleidian Weonan Empress Shawlee Tee.

For Quintos, telling Shawlee “no” was never an option. Unfortunately, according to the admiral, this very well could be a mission of no return. The war with the Grish has turned desperate, and the Alliance is tallying far more losses than wins. To complicate matters, all other US Space-Navy warship assets have been deployed to various hot spots within the quadrant. As for the mission, Fleet Commander Twinwon and his crew are on the run from a fleet of 18 Grish Warships somewhere out within the farthest reaches of frontier space. The Empress knows she has no right to ask, but she has no one else to turn to - she needs Quintos and the USS Hamilton’s crew - and she needs them now. Sure, this rescue may be coming too late, but no one ever said being a hero was easy.

First problem: How the hell will Quintos escape from a Norfolk high-security detention facility?

Hamilton 3

very good read narrator excellent story grabbed me all the way on the whole a good tale

Smart, intriguing, exciting.

loved all three of the Hamilton Books. Each got better. I was sad when I finished the last book.

I got a kick out of this.

While I have read some negative reviews about the previous book in the series, this is meant to be entertainment. This is meant to be semi-serious with humor. I was entertained and getting ready to listen to USS Jefferson.

spoiler/question

hate being nit pickey... but just throwing something out there, to the author maybe?

anyways,sometbing that bothered me mid way thru the book, if u can precisely teliport anything as in, lipstick a helment, even people to and from an enemy ship... why send your soldiers at all ? why not send a dozen of those "smart missles " into the enemy ship? -boom call it a day
or, 1 more idea, once an enemy is identified, why not just start beaming all of the COs of the bridge, drop them in space and just fly away? lol Just me thinking out loud. but regardless, great read.

Stretching things a bit here.

A mostly enjoyable listen, but somewhat shaky in the details and implausable at times. Still, a fun story.

great

very enthralling book series. cant wair to see how the book continues. i vote for the XO

McGinnis Succeeded Agan

It’s a bit hard to review this book, without spoiling the most recent events in the series. I will say that this book had it all. Secret, missions, major battles, lustful conflicts, new technologies, and a bittersweet ending.

As usual, James Patrick Cronin Did an excellent job of narrating. This series just wouldn’t be the same without his wonderful dynamic method of reading. He makes it seem like there are many narrators, not just one. Between the writing, and narration, USS Hamilton creates an amazing movie in one’s head.

I would like to have seen all of the conflicts resolved, but I’m assuming that the sequel will back step, and tie up some conflicts. This book definitely ended in a way that begs for a good sequel. I’m looking forward to starting that.

This is a great addition to the series, and I definitely recommend it to any science fiction fan.

Truly remarkable writer and narrator

This series I've listened to is one of the best, the reality of the scenes and action are unparallel. It works be a wonderful series to watch on Netflix, Prime, Hulu or many of these other streaming avenues. Looking forward to the next book.

A fun and engaging listen!

The performance was top notch. It gave character their own presence and personality. A good and entertaining series.

great listening

I really enjoy listening to this series and I wonder if there will be another one.
