Great Fast Science Fiction

I am a fan of great military science fiction and this is one of the more engrossing plausable series available.

Loving This!

Excellent tale. Great narrator. This is eating up my credits and I am loving it.

Outstanding. Another great addition to the series.

Great addition to the story and series. I love the main character and his team. Crow is a jerk of course and needs to be assassinated asap.

A great edition to the saga

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

Its in the top two for the series and it's a series I recommend a lot. Very creative and the stories just keep coming.

What does Mark Boyett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I can't imagine another reader on this series and appreciate him very much. The characters all sound different and are brought to life very well.

Any additional comments?

Keep 'em coming B.V. I'll buy them all.

Furthers Story Line Well!

This book picks up the action well and keeps it going. Adds well to the story line and fills in many needed points. Ends without a major cliffhanger that will bother you all through the wait to the next book. Some real fun twists in this book and some of the usual characters from the previous books are missing for much of the book giving a break to the hero's comical love life. Over all a good solid book and addition to the series.

much better than book #4 (Conquest)

While I do stand by my quite condemning review of book #4, this book #5 is MUCH better again.
Gone are (for the most part) the artificial story parts that only seem to be in book #4 to either make life easier for the author and/or to help bloating the content of the book.
While I skipped several scenes in the previous book due to inexpressibly artifcial and/or illogical situations this has not been the case even once with this book!
While I'm cannot say that it is perfect or that is is up to par with the first book in the series - I definitely CAN say that I did enjoy listening to it!

Additional comments:
(1) I'm going to buy book #6
(2) The performance of the narrator is perfect - throughout all five books so far the reading of the books has been very high quality.
(3) English is not my native language

Need Book 6

If you could sum up Battle Station in three words, what would they be?

Fun, Extra Fun, Exciting

What was one of the most memorable moments of Battle Station?

Riggs internal monologue just rings too true on my own perspective

Which character – as performed by Mark Boyett – was your favorite?

Quan !

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

Smile, need to know what happens Next. Book 6 PLEASE

Any additional comments?

Too short, lets hope this series has an ending worthy of its beginings

Could not stop listening

BV never fails to capture my rapt attention. The strategy sessions are really amazing. The new US Space Force personnel should read these books for the strategy studies!

Part 1 of a fun series

Any additional comments?

I like this series it is fun to listen to and the story line is very unique. I have not read (or listened to) a space series with this type of story line. I would recomemmend this series to anyone who like space storys.

Series gets bettter and better

What did you love best about Battle Station?

The evolution of the technology is logical and thought provoking.

What about Mark Boyett’s performance did you like?

Very good performance.

Any additional comments?

The book has explored human enhancement physically, but has not explored mental enhancement like in "Wired/Amped". This, to me seem like a big and obvious hole in the logical extension of human capabilities through technology.
