Wraith

The Convergence War, Book 1

De: M.R. Forbes

Narrado por: Daniel Wisniewski

A retired captain. An experimental starship. A war like no other.

When the research starship Galileo vanishes without a trace, the powers-that-be are quick to bury the incident, eager to prevent escalating tensions that could lead to war. As a former POW, Soren refuses to give the ship up for lost.

His daughter is one of the missing.

Taking matters into his own hands, Soren starts pulling strings and calling in favors, determined to launch a clandestine mission to bring Galileo home. When an old friend offers him a ship for the operation, he expects a rusty relic headed for the scrapyard.

Instead, he's given the Wraith—an unfinished, experimental starship with plenty of potential and just as many problems. A marvel of engineering…if his crew can keep her running.

They’d better.

Because Galileo’s disappearance is just the beginning. War is coming to the Federation from the most unlikely of places.

And Soren may be the only one who can stop it.

Overly dramatic

Performance was too dramatic and story just ok. Like I’ve heard this one before. Wishing I had that credit back.

Best of MR Forbes!!

I love this author and this new series is the best of his work! I hope it’s a long series!

Melodrama

This book has its moments - interesting developments, but what stands out is the drama, lots of trite melodrama. The narrator seems to relish it too, lots of shouting.

If silent movie over acting had a voice…

Spoiler alert: the plot of this book is largely based on the Star Trek original series “Mirror Mirror” episode. Unfortunately it’s not as good as. Add to that the melodramatic writing with the over-acted narration and you’ve got a good description of this book. I won’t be going past book one.

overly emotional characters and narrator.

Ok story. Characters a bit to "sappy and dramatic " for my liking. Don't know if I will buy next book.
