Summary

A world recovering from a devastating plague. A brutal enemy threatening invasion. A young man seeking to escape the shadow of his father. A ship manned by a crew of fresh academy graduates. A top-secret experimental propulsion system. A questionable alliance with a mysterious green-eyed woman. 

What destiny has in store for the crew of the UES Aurora is far greater than any of them could ever imagine. And this is only the beginning....

Very reminiscent of Star Trek! Full of cliches, but lots of fun!!! Voyager fans in particular will like this one.

Star Trek?

This was really good only problem was the rather slow tedious boring start for a couple of hours. Once underway in the Aurora story really got going and was good from this point

Slow to get going

That slow start became a fast paced, curiosity inducing adventure. So many questions about the who what where! Looking forward to book 2

Sceptical before hand and it was a slow start

Would you listen to Aurora: CV-01 again? Why?

Yes - It is a compelling story, full of interesting characters and situations, which draws you in. Perfect for a journey.

What other book might you compare Aurora: CV-01 to, and why?

Not so much a book I can think of, but it is very similar to the plot of the first 2 episodes of Star Trek- Voyager - in the best possible way.

What does Jeffrey Kafer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The tempo at which he reads puts you in mind of the procedures of a military vessel- regular and polished.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The passing of command

Any additional comments?

Its a good listen for people who enjoy a good bit of space exploration in their science fiction - give it a go

Great story, despite being occasionaly repetitive

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.

Very basic soap opera story
