Story4.5 out of 5 stars 140
Isaac Gallant is the heir apparent to the First Admiral. Unwilling to let his mother’s tyranny stand, he joins the rebellion and leads his ships into war against the might of his own nation. Betrayal and failure, however, see Isaac Gallant and his allies captured. Rather than execute her only son, the First Admiral instead decides to exile them, flinging four million dissidents and rebels through a one-shot wormhole to the other end of the galaxy. There, Isaac finds himself forced to keep order and peace as they seek out a new home without becoming the very dictator he fought against.

Mere minutes after arriving at their Nantucket family beach home, nine-year-old Scotty Sullivan was out the back door, scrambling toward the shore with Larry, the family dog, fast on his heels. Late in the afternoon in mid-spring, the typical summer beach crowd visitors were still weeks away. Suddenly, Scotty became aware of an odd-looking object, hovering just above the crashing surf. In an age of hobbyist’s drones and all sorts of flying gadgets, he wasn’t overly concerned until the large flying object moved much, much, closer.

Strange Performance
This seems like a good story but I could not finish it -- because of the performance.
I realize that my reaction must be unusual, but I feel compelled to write it down anyway. Normally I like MacLeod Andrews as a narrator. In this book he uses three accents. One is a neutral "standard American" accent which he uses for general narration. That is fine. Another is a Scottish accent, which he uses for one of the two main human groups in the story. That is also fine. I have noticed that Scottish accents are often used in science fiction audio books to represent some foreign or minority group of humans.
However, the main human group is represented using the kind of "North Jersey" or New York City" accents used by gangsters in "the Sopranos" or in shows like "Jersey Shore". In that accent I would be "writin dis review" instead of "writing this review".
There is no reason why people in the future could not speak like that but, for me, it just seemed weird that scientists and senior military officers would speak in that way. Maybe one or two characters, but not everyone. I had to give up on the book. Possible I am only person on the planet who would be bothered by this.

Surprising.
Honestly I just couldn't decide on a book so I clicked a recommended one from Audible.
Glad I did, this book was intelligent without being too dry, had excellent concepts of Military strategy without geeking out overly on gear.
The Captains made some odd choices at times when it came to diplomacy with Alien species, and the Aliens were conveniently dumb at times where I don't think they would have been.
overall tho I deeply recommend, audio performance was as good as they come.

if you like reading technical manuals...
This book had potential, but that's about it. I finished it in hopes it would get better, but it didn't. The performance was pretty monotone although the different voices and accents were good. My mind kept drifting off especially in trying to detail the technical aspects. I loved "The Martian" with all its details but this book was like reading a technical manual .

Unexpected
This books was awesome, and has a ton of very interesting and unexpected plot twists that are pulled of to perfection. I loved how he puts rebel factions into the political environment to give the story background and make it seem more realistic. As always MacLeod Andrews dose a superb job on the narration. To sum it all up, I eagerly await the next installment of this series.

Mary Sue who
Started out good, then took a nose dive. Added generic aliens almost like an after thought. The dynamic between the two brothers was really quite good but is dumped out the airlock after the first meeting. After which most of the book is litterally reading percentage improvements to imaginary ship systems to which you have no basis of comparison to imagine. 20% more armor! Wow! that means it can withstand...20% more...fun. Characters are perfect Mary Sues except for their "low command scores." Oh god, many a night hard drinking to forget our pathetic LOW COMMAND SCORE! This story takes place immidiately after a clearly more interesting story the author felt not quite ready to tell. Good start and undefined finish because I got so bored I stopped trying. Too much is going on, author needs focus.

Lacking in any detail
While I don't like books that overly tell every little bit of background and thought process that goes on in the book I do enjoy understanding a little background. This book jumps ahead weeks at a time without resolving any issues in the process. The narrator is a dull guy but he tries so I gave him a second star for the effort but really. This is a horrible read unless you are really good at guessing and making up your own plot.

Outstanding fast paced battle sci-fi!
The story is the best I've heard since the Lost Starship series. Excellent character development and multiple story lines to keep the listener off balanced and engaged. MacLeod Andrews is one of the best orators on audible. His spot on accents and inflections bring life to the characters and make it easy to distinguish even in fast action. Highly recommend.

The genre is saturated but this story is strong
There are only so many ways to tell the "future humans in space far from earth struggle for survival against aliens" story, and I have read a gazillion very similar variants. This one is a good bit more compelling than the average, though I'm not sure exactly why. Planning to go on to book 2 shortly.
