About this listen
The Hundred Worlds have withstood invasion by the relentless Hok for decades. The human worlds are strong, but the Hok have the resources of a thousand planets behind them, and their fleets attack in endless waves.
The long war has transformed the Hundred Worlds into heavily fortified star systems. Their economies are geared for military output, and they raise specialized soldiers to save our species. Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many. Genetically sculpted to drive a mech-suit as if he wears a second skin, he must find a path to victory. It's a battle in which he'll never admit defeat, but not even Straker knows the dark truth behind this titanic struggle. With Lieutenant Carla Engels piloting, Starship Liberator explores enemy territory in search of answers.

Good story but slow to gain traction
Great naration, kept with it as first half more ground combat than space, however good character build up, leading to a good story with at times some good light hearted and comically driven naration.

Meh
I found the book started ok but soon became too disjointed. The characters do not feel real to me but stereotypical. The story was very predictable and with all the patriotic self righteous rhetoric got boring.

the story and characters
thoroughly enthralled by this book, reminded me of the old man's war series. everything from the characters, their arcs, and the overall story was excellent. some good comedy thrown in there for good measure that had me laughing out loud at times. I would definitely recommend if one enjoys sci-fi space operas

OK so I'm hooked.. already downloaded book 2!
the chapters rolled by and we got to know the characters one by one, felt them change as stars flew by and people dropped dead!
The performance and voices of the characters really made this booked stand out from other Sci-Fi booked in my library.

Ok but missing something to keep up interest
Ok to listen to, good narrator helps.
Seems a bit routine, gradually building up space ships, one then two then three, you can see the way it is going, but not really feeling involved.
The opposition 1000 world's don't seem evil enough and am unsure if the 100 world's are also now bad too?
At this level similar to AI gene and the Lost starship series, but found both keeping my interest going, as an ongoing adventure.

starts well, but goes down hill
I originally purchased this book as it was on offer for under £3, if I'd paid full price I'd be very disappointed.
the story starts off well with an exciting depiction of futuristic ground warfare, followed rapidly by a revelation that at best was predictable, at worst down right obvious.
The main characters then go on to switch sides every few chapters, gaining allies with little to no Persuasion, allies become enemies, only to become allies again being entrusted with key tasks 5 minutes after exchanging fire with the hero's.
mark boyett, (a narrator I've enjoyed in the past) struggled on, creating some good character voices (Saxby for one) but when the characters are saying things that make no sense, there not much to be done.
The key to a great science fiction story (IMO) is believability, and I just couldn't believe it.
it is my understanding that B.V.Larson is a known name in the Sci-Fi genre, but if this is a fare representation of his work, then I won't be sampling much more of it.
it goes without saying, I will not be purchasing the sequal
