About this listen

Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past. The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. 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.

But Avalon has been a backwater posting for 10 years and has problems a mere refit can't fix. The systems along her planned tour have been seeing pirates for the first time in decades, and there are rumblings of Commonwealth scouting ships all along the border. It may be Avalon's final tour, but it looks to be anything but quiet.

OK

This could have been really good, apart from the irritating dialogue every few minutes telling everyone date, time, location ..... every few minutes!!

Why did the author find it necessary to include this repetitive dialogue which, in my opinion, only served to interrupt the plot every few minutes and irritate the hell out of listeners.

Hence the reason for my rating.

Good Plot, well narrated

Interesting storyline with a couple of plot twists. Well performed with good "characterisation" by the narrator.

I could not recommend a better Science Fiction

I could not recommend a better Science Fiction; the performance, the story, the characters. Truly a new age of heroes written beautifully by Glynn Stewart and performed by E M Summerer

Good old swashbucklimg saga....in space :)

This first book sets the scene for the rest of the series. The story is plausable and you will get invested in the characters who all add value to the storyline. There is a real 'feel' of Hornblower, Bolitho.. loved it.

Good listen to an already great book

having read the book prior, I knew what was coming, having listened I can say it was just as if not more enjoyable to relive the story via audio, give the whole series a read and a listen

An excellent addition to space combat series

I'm a fan of space navy series so it's always good to discover a new one.
Covering both fighter and capital class ships this is a welcome addition to my library and I look forward to continuing the series.

Enjoyable Sifi at its best

I liked this book as it tells a good Sifi story, plenty of action with suspense and good characters. It dies not waste time with padding such as flash backs time travel no it’s the real deal
