The Legacy Fleet Series, Book 5

By: Nick Webb

Narrated by: Greg Tremblay

Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

The fog of war clouds everything. Enemies lurk in the shadows, within the very fleet sworn to protect United Earth. Conspiracies and murder abound, and in the background.... The stalled alien invasion lurks.

The Golgothic ship has burrowed deep into the core of Saturn's moon Titan, whose mass slowly but inexorably increases. The Dolmasi, once allies of United Earth in the Second Swarm War, now attack us, unhinged and without reason. And all the while, Admiral Shelby Proctor works to answer the most urgent questions of all: what was a piece of the old ISS Victory doing inside the Golgothic ship? And was it Captain Tim Granger's voice that whispered from the doomed ship, "Shelby, they're coming?"

And ...are they the Swarm? If they are, God help us all.

Outstanding series, great narration!

This has been a great series, intriguing! & captivating. Makes it so you can hardly wait to get to the next book in the series. The narration doesn't disappoint either! With so many different caractures to portray the narrator does an excellent job! Read the whole series, you won't be disappointed!

Best book of the series

This is the second time I’ve listened to this adventure. This is what these are after all. I listen to escape the reality of my life. Morning after morning when my eyes open I realize I am still here. Mechanically my torso raises and feet still numb plant themselves on a bare wooden floor. My once tight crew cut hair falls across my shoulders and mingles with my I don’t give a damn beard.
But when I reach for my personal imprisonment device, a spark goes off. Now cradling my precious I look to see how many hours, minutes I have of escape time. Because of this I am now a Granderite. So thank you Mr. author and word speaker for these moments of respite.

still on point

I didnt know of he could bring the storyline back into an enjoyable experience and yet, he did.

Loyal but Fruatra

I have been enjoying this series and I still mostly enjoy it but I have some grievances:

1. So many parts of ranting, repeating, irritating fluff that doesn’t progress the story or tell us anything new

2. Advice for other readers: Don’t start to like any other character besides the main 2 characters because they will die. Death is constant and ongoing…

3. For all the pain and hurt and trouble that the “bad guy” causes in these stories, you can at least drag out the “bad guys’” final punishment into something more satisfying than “Boom. They’re dead.” The reader sits through all the pain they cause and characters lost by their actions, the frustrations of the villain thwarting plans… then when the time finally comes that we get payback…. “Missile. Explosion. Dead.”… and not even from the villains perspective…

4. If you don’t want the only emotion that you solicit from readers to be irritation and anger, stop having every politician and Military Officer witness the same incident as the hero does but say the exact opposite of the truth against the hero. Or tell us WHY they misconstrued the situation. I feel that details are missing to give us perspective as to why people are getting differing understandings while being witness to the same event.

5. Some things are being missed in the story. For random example, the story will say “the fleet was meeting them head on. They were in a standoff. Proctor was trying to figure a way out of this. Then tactical reported the missile was destroyed.” Wait… what missile? Where did the missile come from? There were several times that something was described that just came out of nowhere.

And lastly, it irritates me that Civic has become such an asshole since he joined the fighter squad. But that’s more a personal comment about the storyline and character development.

All in all, I do enjoy these stories. I just feel they could be better. I’m pretty much just depressed or angry through the whole book with the loss of any character other than the mains at some point in the story and

Another winner

I have really enjoyed this series. And this installment does not disappoint. It does have a major cliff hanger ending and I hope book 6 is in the works. Thanks Mr. Webb and Mr. Tremblay.

The treachery continues.....

wished it would have been the final book but I hate politics politicians and generals even more...

the continuation of a great story.

This book is amazing. the twist that you get in the second half is fully worth the cost.

Storing is much better anticipating the last book

This has been an enjoyable experience downloading the 6th book right after this review completed
