About this listen

It was supposed to be an easy job: find the Dark Star Revolution Starships, destroy them, and go home. But a booby-trapped vessel decimates the Meridian Alliance fleet, leaving Serengeti - a Valkyrie class warship with a sentient AI brain - on her own, wrecked and abandoned in an empty expanse of space. On the edge of total failure, Serengeti thinks only of her crew. She herds the survivors into a lifeboat, intending to sling them into space. But the escape pod sticks in her belly, locking the cryogenically frozen crew inside. Then a scavenger ship arrives to pick Serengeti's bones clean. Her engine's dead, her guns long silenced; Serengeti and her last two robots must find a way to fight the scavengers off and save the crew trapped inside her.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes, I would recommend to a friend, it was a refreshing storey line to listen to, I hope that there will be a follow on book.

What did you like best about this story?

It was the ship AI's and maintenance drone/bots that were the main characters.

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

I don't think someone else could have played the part, the warmth and feeling came through right to the end.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No, just a satisfied feeling that the fleet came back looking for Serengeti.

Any additional comments?

I hope that there will be other stories about Serengeti in the near future.
Thank you.

Oh dear, where to begin.
The plot starts fine - a traditional space battle, a surly captain, a cocky first officer.....but then we get to the second half of the story. At this point, the narrative degenerates into a children's story, with an advanced warship A.I. talking to its maintenance droids like toddlers in kindergarten.
By the time I was 3/4 of the way through, I was praying for the end....or death, I wasn't sure which.

Cannot recommend.

The first half is a Star Wars style space battle (not really credible). It than goes seriously downhill
