Summary
Simeon is bored, even with his latest war game. When he hears of the arrival of an out-of-control refugee ship, he welcomes the excitement. But the refugees' story is horrifying: they were attacked by space barbarians. If anyone is to survive another attack, Simeon must turn his war game hobby into the real thing! This tale is narrated by television and stage actress Constance Towers (Capitol).

Abridged into incomprehensibility
I really wanted to like this. But I've read the book repeatedly, and I know what's missing from this abridged version.
Whole conversations are missing. Whole scenes are missing. Whole sub-plots are missing.
Characters are introduced and left hanging with no development. The story jumps from scene to scene with no transition or resolution or conclusion.
While the narrator tries gamely (and occassionally fluffs the accents), she's having to refer in the audiobook to bits and references cut from it.
The Kolnari get no culture or development or character. Patsy-Sue and Gus and even Simeon..... actually, never mind, no character gets much of a developed view.
The plot jerks around crazily with the cuts, the rising tension and desperation is lost completely, and even the rescue at the end is edited into a damp squib.
Find a full version, or read the book. Because this isn't worth listening to.
