Probably not worth it

I spent 6 years in the navy serving under people like cpt Thatcher (main character). The US government will continue to pay me more than $3,000/month due to the direct negligence of my chain of command for the rest of my life. That’s people like the main character.

For the record i listened to the book until Thatcher took a cavalier response to a suicide attempt by one of his crew in book 1. Maybe the character grows but the author’s prose is too simplistic to even make the books interesting from a literary standpoint.

I want my credit back.

Great performance, but…

I’m halfway through the books, and I still can’t get into the story line.
I’m returning the series, not my cup of tea.
Mr Boyett’s great performance is perfect (As usual).

So so Space Series

Author tried to hard to present an epic. Overload of names, clusters, spaceships, and attempted stories in space. Not much science in story line requiring reader to accept it just happens that way and it must be accepted. Lots of jumping around and in space too much to accept without some explanation or support.

The story rambled about a monotonous line.

I got excited about the story twice in all that. I wont make this mistake again.

Better flow

Slow and kinda jumpy. I really had to pay attention while listening to understand why it went from one scene to another
