I, Starship, Part 2

A Space Opera

De: Scott Bartlett

Narrado por: Mark Boyett

They say you can’t go home again…

…especially if you’re the governing mind for an interstellar military starship.

It's official: Sergeant Henry Morgan has now spent more time as a starship than he spent dead. His mission is more than a century old, but in some ways, he feels like it's just begun.

A desperate distress call from Earth has brought him back to his old cosmic stomping grounds, for your standard save-humanity-from-extinction-by-alien-constructs operation.

But Henry needs to realize something: while his species might be the new kid on the galactic block, it is not without its secrets. Many of them deep and dark, with implications that reach back to the time when he himself walked the Earth on two legs.

In some ways, humanity has become more alien than the extraterrestrials. And if Henry can't figure out what this means—fast—he's going to have serious problems keeping himself and his crew safe.

Destination: Despair. Is humanity's hope lost?

The next segment of our starship journey has the crew continuing to travel great distances over hundreds of years, meeting more unusual alien species, and making a valiant effort to save what's left of humanity, both from itself and from outside forces. All the while the reconstituted mind of Henry Morgan pieces together the larger meaning of the universe, the alien artifacts and knowledge aboard the ship, and contends with numerous sabotage efforts from parties as yet unknown. The story is full of unexpected and heart-pounding encounters, dire situations, and creative resolutions to both. Each description of new characters and new places paints a vivid picture of the environment and Mark Boyett's superb narration skills reach new levels with multitudes of alien voices on top of the already established human variety. Part 2 is a thrilling listen that creates even more tension and despair while imagining the possible outcomes in Part 3. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.]

I hoped for more of a bobaverse theme, but enjoyed it none the less.

not entirely excited about the ending, but the story is left to be expanded on. I'll listen to the next story when it comes.

A great book to dive into.

I am enjoying this book a lot, I have no complaints about these books at all. I have re-listened to part 1 and 2 of sets of books at least 3 times.

Military space opera

I, Starship, Part2 by Scott Bartlett is an excellent military space opera. Mark Boyett did an amazing job with the narration. The story is entertaining, interesting, engaging, enjoyable, exciting, engaging, and more. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Highly recommend

Such a fun ride!

Thrilling continuation of part 1, which of course had that great homage to WW2's Battle Off Samar in Leyte Gulf! The new intrigue, his limited abilities, was is his actual potential? Who knows! Narration is spot on. I can not wait for part 3!

Great series continues

These books are great, they contain a lot of different types of subsets together. World building, space battles, large time jumps etc

The author does a great job of stitching it all together so that we can get many different stories and characters over each book so it doesn’t get stale.

Decision-Making process in action

this series has grown on me. the relationship between Sergeant Morgan and the crew of the Interchange continues to slowly improve, no doubt due to the fact that despite the hundreds of years the Interchange has been on mission the crew has only been awake for a small number of months. Captain Simi continues to mature in his own acceptance of the "RM" while trying to keep humanity safe from the Scree. I'm very much anxious to see what the author offers in the next book ... and it can't come too soon...

I, Starship Part II: Great Continuation of a Fun Series!

I really loved the first book (technically 2 books) that introduced Sargent HenryMorgan and the crew of the starship Interchange,

I loved the first book and this one builds on the incredible world(s) building of the first!

The first “book” (#3) had a few moments where I felt the author was on a soap box, but that really didn’t last long and it was definitely not over the top or unbalanced.

This edition follows the crew as they escort colonists to find a new sector of space for humanity to thrive. It left me wanting more! I can’t wait to see what happens next! As I mentioned in my last review, if you love Bobiverse or Expeditionary Force, this fits in nicely with those series. Give this a try! (Start with book 1, but I think it works even if you don’t!)

Lazy political commentary in space.

Just a lot of lazy swipes taken that's socialism using an alien monarch as the mouthpiece. I also can't help but wonder what his commentary about people in a socialist state not feeling bad about killing children by the hundreds was supposed to be about. I'm sure that just went over a ton of people's heads. If they were five at least.

A bit preachy. No pun intended.

I'm not one to hold it against an author for letting their personal beliefs influence their work but at certain points I'm just left thinking "alright I get it!". There's nothing wrong with an author trying to encourage their readers to think about certain topics from another perspective, but at least try to be subtle about it. Some parts of this just felt hamfisted
