About this listen

Star Dreadnought Bismarck is the Vrokan Empire’s latest weapon, a monstrous warship of a size and power never seen before that could turn the tide of the war.

It is the sixth year of the Void Wars, and only the allies of the Commonwealth remain standing against the unstoppable tide of the brutal Vrokan Empire, still unwilling to yield after numerous setbacks. When a fortuitous reconnaissance flight spots the behemoth leaving port, they know they must act before it can break out into open space, and begin its mission. Stopping the Bismarck will not be easy. At three kilometers long, armed with powerful guns, and protected by unbreachable armor, it is a ship built for one purpose: the destruction of anything it meets.

Knowing the danger, the Commonwealth musters every vessel they can find to contain the new threat. Untested battleships, lightly armored carriers, and numerous escort ships are hastily mobilized to hunt down and engage the Star Dreadnought before it can destroy the convoys keeping the Commonwealth from starvation and defeat. Leading the charge is the Mighty Hood, the aging but powerful battlecruiser, flagship of the fleet, and pride of the Commonwealth Navy.

The Void Wars is a brand-new military-sci-fi series by acclaimed science-fiction author Michael G. Thomas. For the first time, experience the epic battles and heroes of World War II set in a fictional futuristic universe, where fleets of kilometer-long starships fight to the death, and entire worlds are engulfed in the flames of war.

Excellent military SF. A no nonsense rendition of the allied hunt for the battleship Bismark set in the deep space of the far future. No padding with romances, political ramblings or other guff. just space battles and an intense hunt. Really enhanced by Nigel Peever's Excellent narration, sound FX and score. 5 stars.

This story is supposedly based around events at Scapa Flow during WW2, forget that and listen to it as a purely sci-fi fantasy novel and it's a good listen, historically if you think that way it is very annoying and although the concept may have been good for me it doesn't work. Nigel Peevers narration is excellent as usual and the soundscape is OK if a little Arcadian, many of the sound effects sound as if they are taken from a pinball machine and whoever heard of interspacial missiles being fired using a rubber band! I've not docked any stars however as I still found it a very entertaining listen and would if given the chance listen to more of the series.
I was kindly given a copy of the book and leave this honest review voluntarily. *****

Forget the History.
