Summary
When Ximon Sabo retires from the Kremniy Republic Scout Force he’s awarded a retired scout ship, the Mantis, but he has to find work to keep her flying. On missions across a dozen solar systems, Ximon and his crew make first contact with an alien species, pull off a daring rescue from a beleaguered outpost, face hostile pirates, and even face a murder mystery. The Mantis team - a female engineer with a drinking problem, a sensor operator who’s also a priest, Ximon’s sexy companion robot, and the ship’s AI computer - must work together to face challenge after challenge, before they run out of money or the ship falls apart around them.
If you like hard sci-fi and space opera novels with a Firefly or Expanse vibe, or if you enjoy inter-galactic role-playing games such as Traveller or Starfinder, you'll love this audiobook. Jaunts of the Mantis will hook you with intense space action, while its rich, colorful characters, and engaging stories keep you coming back for more.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent beginning for an excellent series!
It took me a bit to get used for a woman voice as a narrator for a science-fiction book, its a first for me but eventually it worked up just fine.
Same with the writer Jim Henderson,
The beginning was a little slow, surprisingly as i kept listening it kept getting better and better with amazing unpredictable twists.
All i can hope is that the author will keep going with the same surprises on the rest of the series and that will let me continue reviewing it all.
Oded Ostfeld.
