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!

And so the Saga begins.
I chose this book on a recommendation of Steve Gibson on a show called Security Now on the TWiT podcast show. And am glad that I did. it was a great listen and a book that a hated to put down when real life intervened. I like the characters and look forward to their over coming of the challenges of their situation. A great read with excellent narration.

Very basic soap opera story
This is soap opera not hard sci-fi. There is lots of reference to ftl drive but no taking light travel time into space battles and general story. Definitely more Star Trek than Expeditionary Force. Probably targeted as Young Adult as all the older characters killed off pretty quickly and command goes to the most junior officer rank. No one left on the ship above ensign / lieutenant?? Main character is naive for someone having gone through officer training. Ok for a freebie but will not bother with the rest of the series.
Upside is the performance was pretty good and enhanced the audiobook.
