The Nelson Touch

Ark Royal, Book 2

By: Christopher G. Nuttall

Narrated by: Ralph Lister

Ark Royal - the Royal Navy’s outdated space carrier - has won a smashing victory against the enigmatic aliens, capturing one of their starships and returning to Earth. Now, Admiral Theodore Smith and his crew are assigned to command a fleet charged with making a deep-penetration raid into alien territory, a fleet made up of carriers from four different nations. But with a crewman who isn't what he seems, untested pilots and international friction - and a new and dangerous alien plan - can Ted and his crew survive their mission...or will they die, alone and unremarked, hundreds of light years from home?

Getting Better!

This book is a bit better then the first book. It still is long winded,but the battles are better. Still to much personal stuff you don't care about. Who is sleeping with who. The story seems to be better and is leading up to something big I hope, In the 3rd book. Still the listeners who gave these books 5 stars should listen to : Star Force by B V Larson or The Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell if you want 5 star action!!!

If you like Robotech!!!

Title says it all! If you like Robotech, you will love this series! It is NOT a rehashing of the same story, but a comparably developed and delivered concept. So far it is great! Can't wait to get through the next books.

Excellent military space scifi

Would you listen to The Nelson Touch again? Why?

No, But it's a awsome one time read.

What other book might you compare The Nelson Touch to and why?

It's abit like The Lost Fleet series or StarForce but alot better written.

Have you listened to any of Ralph Lister’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time with this narrator for me. He as a good range and makes the characters come to live.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The cliff hanger at end. GIVE ME BOOK 3 NOW! :)

Any additional comments?

Great read, Interesting concepts and fast paced. Short: Military space scifi at it's best! Check it out!

Good story, but the performance is less than good

the author is overly repetitive but that can be ignored for the good story. the narrator is not very good but not do bad top make it unreadable. I must say, however, that this would have been great with a better narrator.

hate the reader live the story

good ship to ship combat story with live and some fishyness this needed more words
