They stand against the Teroni Federation, an alliance of races that resent Man's growing military and economic power. The main battles are taking place in the Spiral Arm and toward the Core. But far out on the Rim, the Theodore Roosevelt is one of three ships charged with protecting the Phoenix Cluster - a group of 73 inhabited worlds.
Old, battered, some of its weapon systems outmoded, the Teddy R. is a ship that would have been decommissioned years ago if weren't for the war. Its crew is composed of retreads, discipline cases, and a few raw recruits. But a new officer has been transferred to the Teddy R. His name is Wilson Cole, and he comes with a reputation for heroics and disobedience. Will the galaxy ever be the same?

The book is introduced as a book not about technology, but about leadership. True, not much about technology and what can be considered tech or science related is bended to suit the purpose of the story. The leadership part is not too strong with a leader that makes sense all the time, but every one in higher command is just not making any sense.
I felt that the story failed to explain things more detailed and left with an incomplete picture a lot of times. Too many situations was tailored to fit the hero to feel real.
The narrator did a fine job - maybe overdoing our hero of the story.
Yet another I-know-it-all story

Resnick writes decent prose, so the story moves along pretty well. Good thing, too! 'Cause if it ever slowed, the reader would notice that the plot is trite and predictable; the characters are stereotyped and predictable; that there really is no reason for this book. Not recommended at all.
Trite and predictable...

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who is looking for hard science or military sci-fi.Would you recommend Starship to your friends? Why or why not?
I've read two books of the series, and I wouldn't recommend them to fans of hard science or military sci-fi.What about Jonathan Davis and Mike Resnick ’s performance did you like?
It was satisfactory.If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No, but I'd watch it on Netflix.Any additional comments?
These books are not for the hard science/military sci-fi lover. Too many things inconsistent with military and hard science sci-fi to be enjoyable for me. I kept getting taken out of the story by things that didn't work. (You can't have FTL travel *and* Newtonian physics applied at the same time to a starship. No naval officer gets command of a ship without knowing anything about how a ship works. You can't be both smarter than everyone else around you AND ignorant of the common things in your area of expertise.) The drama was too melodrama for my tastes.Not for military sci-fi lovers.

Firstly, I would like to point out that when an author begins with an introduction explaining that he is writing this series as a favor for another person, it can mean that the series will not be a sterling piece of work.
It was not.
It is repetitive and slow going.
The relinquishing by the protagonist of certain "principles" in book 5 is, while understandable from a current events point of view, absolutely out of character for Cole. It is totally inconsistent with his position in the previous book, insofar as it is repeated as nauseam that he is against war crimes under any circumstances.
Finally, the particularities of certain secondary characters, such as David C. just get annoying in the end.
On the other hand, I don't expect my Space Opera to be much better so I will not shoot it down with less than 3 stars.
It would be as if I went to see Star Wars then beat-up on Lucas for having a thin plot. I don't watch Star Wars for a plot and I don't read Space Opera for incredible literary content.
The three stars is the difference between what I expect Space Opera to be and what this is.
In one sentence: it will help you to pass a slow work week or a series of long intercontinental flights, just don't expect too much out of it.
Average Space Opera, no more, no less

It's like when Britney Spears made her 1st comeback, we all asked, "Doesn't anyone love Briteny?" It's like that. Resnick is not a bad writer, but man....
He says he doesn't want to write a "techie" space battle book, so he has the main character go AWOL on some back-water retro planet right out of "GunSmoke"
It's like on the old Battlestar Gallactica series when the malfunctioning Cylon becomes a gunfighter in the western style town; and the crew has a gun-fight at high-noon. It's like that. Leave all that "techie" stuff behind in deep-space...
The publisher was asleep at the wheel

And was disappointed. Some characters only seemed to exist to prop up the main character's personality in a "Gee wiz, you are great and smart" sort of way.
Too much work had to be done by the author to make the story come out as he desired. Too much deus ex machina. Truthfully, I only made it through a couple of hours of the audio, so there remains the possibility that things could have turned around.
Listen to Santiago. Read Michael's other excellent books. Give this series a pass.
Too much work on the author's part....

Long winded speeches about Wilson Coles genius, cliches and repetitions of said reasons why Wilson is the only one person in the universe with two brain cells to rub together, it just gets tiresome.
Get a David Weber or Lois McMaster Bujold book instead. Pass this one up now, before it's too late.
Move along, nothing to see here
