About this listen

When a hideous accident kills the senior officers of the UNS Hibernia, it leaves a terrified young officer to save 300 colonists and crew aboard a damaged ship on a 17-month gauntlet to reach the colony of Hope Nation. With no chance of rescue or reinforcement, Nicholas Seafort must overcome despair, exhaustion, and guilt. He must conquer malfunctions, mutiny, and an alien horror beyond human understanding. And he must save lives and take them - in the name of duty.

A truly non put downable story that I found myself finding reasons to listen to a few more minutes everyday.

This is the first of a saga I read years ago and have read some or all of the books each 18 months because it is that good!

I hope you enjoy it to!

A must for all Sci-Fi fans

Excellent, compelling with great characterisation and a pacey plot that echoes the best of historical fiction and space-faring sci-fi.

Many sci fi books I’ve tried via kindle unlimited remain unfinished - probably because I sometimes find it difficult to engage with the plot, style or narration. This book has been an amazing find! Apart from the need to sleep, I devoured it on one sitting - I was totally absorbed.

I can thoroughly recommend this book to anyone - from young adults to middle aged old foggeys like me who enjoy futuristic interstellar stories.

I’m off to use a credit to get the next in the series now!

Unexpectedly Addictive.

Where does Midshipman's Hope  rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I would say it ranks near the top of my list, as it was fluid and powerful performance.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Midshipman's Hope ?

The scene when the captain died, as you could hear the grief and saddness in Seaforts voice when he found out.

What about Vikas Adam’s performance did you like?

He brings each character to life, they are full of emotions and feelings which you could feel as times goes on.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I would of loved to listen to it in one sitting, but due to Real Life I had to break it up to smaller chunks and listen to it over a week.

Read the book years ago so was worried I wouldn’t enjoy it as much listening to the story now, I’m glad I was wrong! Can’t wait to listen to the next book
