Über diesen Titel

The Terran Commonwealth has proved a nigh-unstoppable juggernaut in its war against the smaller Castle Federation and her allies, but an almost accidental victory by Captain Kyle Roberts of the carrier Avalon has opened a chink in its armor. Desperate to change the course of a war they are rapidly losing, the Federation assembles a new forward fleet with orders to retake the systems that have fallen to the enemy.

Outnumbered but on the offensive at last, Kyle Roberts must take a hastily assembled battle group back to the worlds the Alliance failed to defend. There he will live or die by the skills of his soldiers and the honor of his enemies.

the fights are mainly with rockets and not everything makes sense sometimes, but overall I like the characters. the story is foreseeable on some points, never less is a good one and something you want to finish. if you like part 1 and 2, it's a good addon

a good 3rd part

Kyle commanding a whole battle group is too much for this type of narration, I hope next book he has a smaller command - to add more depth and making sure that less stuff gets missed by the listener (had to go back a couple times to understand all the different things going on at once).

This review might sound negative but it’s not meant to be, this is still a great book I just hope the next one is slightly easier to comprehend!

Great book - not as good as the first 2 but still good

This review applies to the first 7 parts of the series.

TL;DR
Here we have nice, undemanding military sifi for beginners with some weaknesses.
The first narrator does an outstanding job and the second one does a good job.
You can easily hear it in passing.

Nice action, appealing characters and an interesting basic story.
That for the positive.

Neutral would be to note that the author has thrown in therms he heard somewhere and thought "hey,this sounds cool", but he has no idea what they mean.
As an example: there is no Cherenkov radiation in a vacuum. Of course it sounds impressive when spaceships “emit” something like this when they leave the Alcubierre field. In which, according to current mathematics, you don't have to accelerate.
But like I said, it sounds good, so why not.

The main negative thing I noticed was that the author tends to repeat himself. Very often.
If I hadnt understood hat fighter missiles are "stupid" the third time, the fifth or tenth time wouldn't help me either.
The same applies to the fighter pilots.
Yes, they are expendable. I understood it after the first book.
And last but not least, the author's obsession with skin color should be noted. I like it when some things aren't described too precisely. So a beautiful woman in my head is the way I imagine her to be. Not the way the author imagines it. The same applies to skin colors. If I want the Stellar Fox to be a black man, it doesn't help me if it is described 20 times that he has red hair and light skin. Especially when it's completely irrelevant to the story, like here. He is described as large and impressive. that's completely enough.

Nice entertainment for in between

Spannend geschrieben, gute Action. Leider ist der alphabetische Lebensstil so hinein gewoben, dass ich nicht mehr weiter hören kann. Schade. Wäre es nur mal gewesen, aber habe nun drei Folgen gehört und es bleibt und wird immer mehr.

Eigentlich eine gute Story
