Story4.5 out of 5 stars 156
The year is 2162. Thirty-eight years after first contact, Lord Commander Grayson St. Clair leads the Tellus Ad Astra on an unprecedented expedition to the Galactic Core, carrying more than a million scientists, diplomats, soldiers, and AIs. Despite his reservations about their alien hosts, St. Clair is deeply committed to his people - especially after they're sucked into a black hole and spat out four billion years in the future. Civilizations have risen and fallen. The Andromeda Galaxy is drifting into the Milky Way. And Earth is most certainly a distant memory.

They hunt us. They bomb our worlds for target practice. A star cluster in the constellation of Orion rotates once every 1,000 years. Those who rule there have an ancient tradition: When each cycle ends, they train their fleets by spilling the blood of lesser beings. The enemy fleets are coming again. In response, the Rebel Worlds gather their starships to face the terrifying threat, and this time humanity is asked to stand with them. The last time they considered Earth, Vikings in longboats were raiding English coastlines. Today, we're less primitive. Today, we're a target.

Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.

Over the horizon came ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There went the good old days, when humans got killed only by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

In the twenty-sixth century, humanity is at war with the Xenophobes, and the planet Loki is the next battleground.
Dev Cameron joined the military to fly a starship but is rated unsuitable and grudgingly accepts an assignment with the ground forces, piloting a massive walking tank (a warstrider).

This one is tough to listen to.
Would you try another book from Ian Douglas and/or David Drummond?
I've enjoyed Ian Douglas' work in the past and that's why I tried this one in spite of poor reviews. While I might try another book by Ian, I won't try any more from this series. As far as David Drummond's narration, it was horrible for this book. While Ian created a world that is greatly influenced by Japan, the narration was done with what sounded like a Scottish Pirate.
Would you be willing to try another book from Ian Douglas? Why or why not?
yes
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Bad accents and intonation made everyone sound scared and panicked
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disappointment. I listened to all but the last hour or so and just couldn't stand it anymore.

What disappointed you about Warstrider: Warstrider, Book 1?
Using Heinlein's battle-bot shell concept of Starship Troopers, but not with anywhere near the depth of story, detail, scope by Heinlein.

S l o w, slow, a little b e t t e r....
In the beginning, I had to keep backing up to re listen because my ears were working but my brain kept trying to nap! Finally, I began to sense there might be a story evolving but it was halfway thru the book! I didn't like the protaginst's smart mouth attitude which abruptly became charismatic boy wonderI The overuse of Japanese titles and traditions bogged me down with all the translations. The narrator was a "C" but in fairness, he didn't have much to work with. I'd advise the listener who wants a developing plot, rounded characters and some action to keep looking.

Being a sifi fan I must say this book is quite boring. Lots of details describing planets and aliens but little about the people. This makes the story less exiting and in fact boring to read.

I did manage to listen to the entire book, barely. Hated the narration but the story really bogs down when a fortuitous ally shows up and then gets really boring as the nature of their common enemy is disclosed. Could have been much more with a better reader and less of a yawner of an ending.

exceptional read by Ian Douglas
I absolutely loved this book. I've read all of what's available for the Star Carrier series and also could not recommend them enough.
I was in awe getting to experience the author's imagination and enjoyed the emotional waves felt as Dev had moved through his life, disappointment, excitement, luster, power, anger, all of it was there, other emotions that I currently can not put into words.
Thanks, can not wait to pick up book two!

David Drummond's attempts at character voices bad
Drummond's voice attempts grate on my soul and detract from an otherwise interesting book. if he had just stuck with one voice it would have been preferable since his normal tones aren't bad. but ask him to do a female or a child? be prepared for a bleeding brain.
