Excelsior

By: Jasper T. Scott

Narrated by: James Patrick Cronin

From the USA Today best-selling author of Dark Space. A mission to another world could be our only hope....

The year is AD 2790. With space elevators and giant orbital fleets hovering over Earth, open war looks inevitable, and people are anxious to get away. The lines are drawn, with the Confederacy in the East and the First World Alliance in the West. In hopes of finding a refuge from the looming war, the Alliance is sending Captain Alexander de Leon to explore an Earth-type planet, code-named Wonderland, but at the last minute before launch, a Confederate fleet leaves orbit on a trajectory that threatens both the mission and Alliance sovereignty. The resulting power struggle will determine not only the fate of Alexander's mission but the fate of the entire human race.

Great story, very interesting.

Great story, I have come to enjoy Jasper T Scott. Worst narrator ever. I will not buy another book that James Patrick Cromin narates.

Women are not weaklings

I liked the story, but the narration of the female characters was aggravating. Every sentence ended with a high tone, almost like a question. That ruined it for me.

good story. poor naration.

I like the story, but did not like the narrator. His inflections and voices were weird.
I'm spoiled by Scott Brick.
After finishing: Story was good and had a surprising hook at the end. There is a loose setup for a sequel.

difficult to listen to

the narrator has a "strained" delivery that I found nearly intolerable. I did finish this because the story. I found it interesting very early on even though it is a bit more soap opera than space opera. I truly hope that by 700 years into the future the term "my baby daddy" is a term only the rarest of historians remember.

Great Book! Interesting and exciting
