Sceptical before hand and it was a slow start

That slow start became a fast paced, curiosity inducing adventure. So many questions about the who what where! Looking forward to book 2

A rehash of ST Voyager.

not a bad listen but once it becomes clear that this is a twist on the StarTreak Voyager story line it gets a bit predictable. Still worth a listen as its fast paced and action packed.

It's ok

I feel a bit mean when I leave an indifferent review because it is so difficult to write a book, create engaging scenarios and characters and put them all together, I think the author deserves a lot of credit just for that. However, as my headline says it's ok. Kind of predictable. I've listened to far worse though and it's a short book that feels like part one of what should be a multipart book.

I found every one of the main characters annoying. All orders are questioned despite none of them having any experience in space and they bumble along from one disaster to another, sniping at each other constantly (they'll end up inseparable I expect). They manage to escape by the skin of their teeth each time.(making it predictable) limping around the galaxy in a wrecked ship and that's probably why I'm a little disappointed - thers's no aliens, no great battles you'd tell your grankids about, just a series of disasters.

But I did finish it so I'll give the second book a go because there's the building blokcks of a story there and it has potential to improve.

I didn't buy this book, it's in the plus catalogue so I haven't given a not-so-great review because I'm annoyed I spent money. It's my honest opinion BUT I'm an old man so perhaps not the target audience, it feels like it might be for a younger generation.

Good story but over used plot line

This was a perfectly enjoyable story with interesting characters and good dialog. Both the writer and narrator do a good job of moving the story along.

The only real quibble is that the plot of a ship lost a long way from home and in uncharted and hostile space is becoming over used. Here the addition of senior staff being killed off so that young and inexperienced crew have to step up is also a reused plot device.

How ever it is still an enjoyable listen.

Great book a bit short

An enjoyable book, a little shorter than I would have liked for a credit but the books do seem to get longer as the series runs on!

Fast and Furios

This story moves so quickly it is hard to keep up, difficult to put down and over before you know it. An excellent read.

An easy to listen to soap opera

This is a very easy to listen to soap opera. There is nothing really original in the storyline: group of cadets co-opted onto a ship. Captain dies; cadets take over and set off on a journey through space.

Narration was good. However, it is a story that has been written before and nothing really stands out from the norm.
