Great story

This is book four in the Frontier Series. Aurora is damaged and in need of repair and upgrade. The Aurora is in obit above the planet of Corinair. In the prior book Aurora fought off a Ta’Akar warship that was going to destroy the planet. Most of the action in this episode takes place on the planet and only toward the end does action return to Aurora when a commando group attempts to take control of the ship. Brown uses this episode to introduce us to the legend of Na Tan. The people of Corinair think Nathan is Na Tan.
Brown is continuing to develop his characters and we lose some people and gain some new ones. It is nice to have characters make mistakes unlike some of the super heroes in some books that are always perfect. The book is well written; the plot twists and turns with lots of action. The various groups on the planet are fighting each other until I wanted to yell at them “wake up; work together the Ta ‘Akar will come back”. Brown is a super story teller and I have enjoyed this series so far. Jeffrey Kafer does an excellent job narrating the book.

another solid entry

continuing space opera with decent pace and action. good narrator and good solid story telling. I look forward to the next book.

Even better the second time around

This book series seems to get better every time I read it can't wait for the next one dreading the final book and the end of the saga love love love it!!!!!!!!!

Continues to be Great

I wasn't sure I would enjoy a book that centers around one planet, but Ryk Brown continues to deliver. With every new book I find myself excited to see if the Aurora will finally be refitted and fully repaired to 100%, as we've seen what she can do with minimal repairs and severe damage thus far. Book 4 continues to offer continued character development and great narration. At 10 hours, we're also getting twice the book we usually get in the series, which just proves Ryk Brown is an author that listens to his fan base.

Great series easily compared to the Lost Fleet by Jack Campbell.

Continued disappointment in story development

The story line is creative and interesting, however, the author's development, in my opinion is frustrating.

The author portrays the "heroes" of the story as bumbling through one disaster after another, as the story has developed in the books. This bumbling, causes death and destruction! While the bad guys seem to be on top of the action, making sound decisions.

The author, in order to build suspense, shows the bad guys with overwhelming advantage, on the verge of taking over, only to have the good guys, as a last second twist of fate, succeed in winning the day, albeit, with lost of life and destruction of the ship!

I understood the weakness of the crew initially, however it has continued, therefore my frustration!

Great book

Another great addition to this series. I am looking forward to the next book. I highly recommend this to avid science fiction readers or listeners.

Excellent story

Enjoyed the reader and his presentation. Story moved on at a fast pace. Enjoyable story lines

Kept me engaged throughout.

Another great chapter in the ongoing storyline. Narration was also very good. Onto the next book.

Enjoyable

Enjoyable. A bit repetitive in words, sayings, and jokes, but good overall. At one point I thought the author was going to kill off every character, geez. And it’s quite irritating that the evil characters that cause so much pain and death, and torture, get such quick deaths. Seriously? Drag it out a bit, they deserve it! Good book though and encouraged a lot of emotion with this one.

I Had An Anxiety Attack

Holy cow! was at the edge of nny seat the whole time. You begin to freak the characters' weariness. How will they overcome this
