Narrated by: Elizabeth Klett

Newly commissioned lieutenant Alexis Carew is appointed into HMS Shrewsbury, a 74-gun ship of the line in New London's space navy.

The little ship

Book 3 is the best of the three . Wonderful writing and narrator. Can't wait for #4

Write more!!

I loved the growth and development of Alexus ! Please write more about her. I listen to these while doing embroidery and hiking. Thank you! Also this is the best narrator ever!!!!

A story with meat

This is a story that has meat. The cost of making life and death decisions in public service, be it military, fire fighting, police, health.... The cost of not only life and limb, but also of mind. Courage to keep on going even when fear or dispair can be overwhelming.

A well crafted story mixing history from different conflicts with the human weaknesses of the like of Horatio Hornblower showing that you do not need to be a superhuman to have an impact.

Can't wait for the next one.

cool

This series, so far, is really good. I can't wait to hear, the rest of the books. This is well worth the credits.

Love it! Steampunk in space.

I can't wait to hear the next book. I want to keep reading them until she makes Flag rank. I also want to hear about the wedding with her Frenchman. Hint hint plot suggestion.
