Aramis Reyne is an old space captain, hounded by arthritis and haunted by memories of war. He makes ends meet by running mail and supplies to the farthest, darkest reaches of the system known as the fringe. When Reyne and his ragtag crew salvage a dead ship during one of their runs, they find themselves thrown into a galactic conspiracy involving warship captains, secret organizations, rebels, and pirates. Reyne must confront wartime ghosts and dust off old skills or else he'll watch thousands die, again.

Earth is conquered. Sol is lost. One ship is tasked to free them. One Captain to save them all. When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,214
My name is Alice Long, and I've always known I was different. When I was little I used to climb up to the highest branches of the housetree at night, and watch the starships docking at the orbital stations high above. Forty meters off the ground, watching ships 30,000 kilometers overhead, with senses that could pick out radar pings and comm chatter as easily as the ships themselves. It all seemed perfectly natural at the time.

Niche Genre
The author needed a way to bring Miyamoto Musashi's "Book of Five Rings", gay sex, civil rights and military sci-fi together into one package. So he had the central warship in the book named after the Japanese battleship MUSASHI, and then tosses in the other ingredients and shakes vigorously. Some folks will be turned off, but it does work rather well. Not familiar with Mr. Jessen's previous work, but enjoyed his narration.

The book starts off a little rough but after a few chapters in comes around. I wish authors had enough confidence that they didn't have to throw in sex scenes that didn't add anything to the story.

Sexy-ish Star Trek
What did you love best about Space Cruiser Musashi?
It's a classic gang-of-misfits brought together to be a family. I wish the characterization had gone a little more in depth (not sure if this is the first book of a longer series?), but all in all I really enjoyed the space opera adventure.
What does Craig Jessen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
On the page some of the characters are under-developed, so the voice acting gave me a deeper sense of who they were. I particularly liked the voices for Sooter and Sivareck, which made interesting yin-yang counterpoints in Engineering.
