EXCELLENT. WELL WRITTEN AND PERFORMED

Fantastic space opera. I love the protagonists. Lots of action and a little romance thrown in. Alisa, the fighter pilot of the Alliance and Leonidas, the cyborg colonel of the empire had to work together to get to their goals. Along the way they have to escape from their enemies. A very well written series with witty dialogue , intrigues and politics in the mix. A boxed set of 3 books is really worth the credit. I will be continuing book 4 and I hope book 5 will come out soon.

Fun, not a narrator fan...

The story was enjoyable, but the narrator’s style is weird, like she’s not fully aware of what she’s actually reading.

Really good!

Great character development, good movement and adventure in the plot. In the selection of narrator? Superb!

I blame this for why I fell behind in work

One of the absolute best stories I've listened to in years. Rich character, intriguing plot, witty banter, and unpredictability at every turn. I truly hope the next omnibus is available or I will have to start this again.

Worth the effort

Be patient! This is a little slow to start but the characters are great and the adventure is epic. The narrator a mostly perfect although she mispronounces a few words which can be haaard.

pretty good listen

At first I wasn't sure about this story but once it got rolling I was sucked right in.

Not too bad

it was a pretty good story but don't expect too too much, humor was a little corny. if there's more books after these 3 books I might listen to those as well.

Few stories have everything. This does.

I enjoyed everything about this series and hope for more. I love the captain snd care deeply for the motley crew. Three cheers for a continuing adventure.

Excellent adventure

Great plot and realistic characters. This author really knows how to make you feel like part of the story.

Really a Great Book & Performance

Definitely worth the time. I hope another Omnibus gets released. A fun read from an author I didn't know before, & am looking forward to more from. The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters, & makes them individuals.

very well written and performed

good books, very easy to listen to and follow the plot. if it was not an omnibus, I guess the individual books may have been of somewhat lower content/price ratio against similar titles, but as it is - very good listening for not very much money.

Fantastic syfy series.

Great storey telling and naration is excellent. the I'll be buying the rest of the series.

Generic

The main problem with this book was that a number of plot twists were recognisable from other books/films of the same genre - which loses the originality feel. Other than that the characters were fine and it is a lighthearted listen,

Predictable but well crafted

The story treads a well worn path but it is well written, entertaining, humorous and I enjoyed the performance from the nurater.

great world building and interesting characters

I am now 6 books in and I just wanted to come back and review this series - its great and I see my self buying all the books in the series eventually.

This series reminds me of "The Emperor's edge" series by Lindsay (only the best steam punk series of all time) which was available as an iTunes podcast for free - I never understood why the whole series isn't available in an audio format but there you go...
- exciting locations
- clever escapes
- larger political plot

I think I love all the dialogue between Alisa and the engineer its sass on sass and therefore just awesome.

A nice twist to standard SciFi<br />

Nice to have sci- fi seen from a female perspective. The narrator brings all the different characters to life with great skill, really enjoyed listening.

Great book

Loved it, the story was gripping and the narrator read it well. Most enjoyable listen

An enjoyable listen

Fast moving and fun. A perfect audio book for the background when you're in the garden

Similar to Expanse

Loved this, a great easy listen. If you like The Expanse series you'll like this. Not too serious with technical sci-fi but very well read and although the characters are fairly obvious they are charming and grow on you. And it made me smile.

Loved the books

I have to say I loved this and even got butterflies in my tummy in the epilogue of book 3. Now I HAVE to get the rest because I need to know what happens.

Space chickens, futuristic-mushroom eating- hippy, an android, a doctor/monk on a mission, a security officer dreaming of being a galactic sauce superstar who's running away from the space mob, a lesbian mechanic and a captain just trying to find her daughter. It's brilliant!!

The only fault I can find is the narrator. Unfortunately there really isn't much in the way of character distinction which can get VERY confusing. Also she has a weird way of emphasising parts of a sentence that sometimes you think there is more to come and sometimes it's as though she's just cut off... Very strange. Thankfully the story is strong enough to keep you going.
