great book

Thanks to Audible for having this in store. I really enjoy listening to them every day.

Another great installment in the series...!

Can't wait to DL and start the next one. Mark Boyett, as usual, submits yet ANOTHER amazing performance (in a very long line of them). His character(s) "range" is staggering. The number of characters he can reproduce is simply incredible. The pitches, tones, contextualization via intonation and accents he has the ability to throw at a book/story/plot, is really quite impressive.

Larson... what can I say that I haven't already said over the years. Truly exceptional talent. The pictures he paints in my minds'eye, combined with Boyett's character(s) and the ability to clearly define each as an individual, is an amazing combo.

Good work you 2. On to the next one!

Another great story within an interesting storyline

I am continuing to enjoy this series of stories within this saga. I will move onto the next in the series.

A good one, and an exciting ending

this book was very good.... i liked the twists in it and i liked and answers for te questions i had before...

But lets talk about the ending of this book .. don't worry i won't say anything that will make you hate me or something.... But the ending was really good.... how Larson decided to end this book gives so many possibilities for the next book.... each book before had a clear and expected beginning for the next book... but for this one I have no idea what will happen next .. too many possibilities!!

its a good and fun read like the other books... and i really liked this series

Enjoy!

The saga coninues...

This book continues with the great battle stories we are used to. The ending leaves you hangin on for more. I cannot wait to read Empire!

Needs editor to help with female characters

Decent story but the author seems to write all female characters as bipolar tween girls. Needs some help in that area. Also, sex scenes are tacked on and don't seem to fit. An editor might help. Good story, though. I'll keep listening.

Last one in a great series

Where does Battle Station rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best series I've found.

What other book might you compare Battle Station to and why?

This book is a natural progression in the series.it keeps to the style and rhythms of the previous books

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator was great

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My reaction to the book was an acute disappointment that the next book is not yet available in audiobook format as yet.

The Narrator is one of the best

You won't get tired of listening to this narrator. He is one of the best if not the best in the business.

A budding galatic empire in the making

Larson's 5th installment in the Starforce series has Riggs way out in the hinterlands. The increasing tension between Crow and Riggs is present, but largely below the surface in this volume. Riggs also can't shake the pull of exploration. Although several rings away from Earth, Riggs is hellbent on clearing the Macros out of the Eden system where the Centaurs live. At the same time, another ring away, intelligent lobsters abide. Most interesting is that the mysterious Blues are made a bit less mysterious, although not less annoying. All in all, Riggs comes through as the master juggler, balancing various sentient races, his robotic nemesis, as well as the unique AI directed crafts that were so engaging in the 1st book.

The sci-fi elements are a bit more varied this time around. Macro technology is qualitatively different from what Riggs is normally used to. The alien Blues living in the mass of a gas giant also makes for some fascinating scenes. Besting the Macros, saving an alien race, and hooking up with lifeforms responsible starting it all is all in a day's work. Have nanite, will travel!

The narration is adequate, but unremarkable.

Another great addition to the Star Force series.

Was so hard to turn off and couldn't wait until the next time to start up again. B. V. Larson is such a great author.
