Summary
Start as a RECRUIT...become a SUPER-SOLDIER...end up a GALACTIC WARLORD.
Don your armor, load up on ammo, and get ready for your combat training. You don't become a badass by signing on the dotted line, you gotta earn it the hard way...same goes for your team. You have to learn to fight, how to work together, and how to lose...for the ancient origins of humanity on Earth are dark, devastating, and destined to return. Earth is going to lose, and lose badly when our time is up, but out of the ashes of defeat, we may be able to scrounge up a future if you and the other future warlords can learn how to overcome the losses and turn them to our advantage.
And the one advantage we have is the repository of ancient knowledge left behind when our former masters abandoned Earth during a civil war. They assume everyone died, but a few human slaves remained and now we live only because of that mistake.
But they didn't just make one. Their second was leaving the most heavily defended and valuable building on the planet intact because destroying it along with the others when they bugged out would be too time-consuming. Instead, they buried it and now we have limited access to the advanced technology and database inside. From it we know the truth about our ancestry, as well as the superhuman powers they laced into our genome...and because of those powers, any human not under their direct control carries with them an automatic death sentence.
So when we're found out, we're all going to die...unless you and your team can grow into the war leaders we need, figure out how to use the ancient technology as well as those who created it, and find a way to do the impossible and overcome a galactic empire millions of years old. An empire known as the V'kit'no'sat, which Earth hilariously misinterpreted as a group of extinct animals called the Dinosaurs.

Hard to listen to
The concept around the story is great but the narration is wooden and almost computer generated. Maybe it was.
Found it hard to engage with and get the visual images I normally get when listening to a book.

Good story but bad narration
What can I say. The narrator is very wooden. There are unnatural pauses and mispronounced words throughout. Seems wooden and somewhat monotone. Please try before you buy.

Good story but
Good story but reading was varied, something being robotic. Also strange background sounds at points.
The story was detailed and enjoyable.
Can't believe I still have 96 books to go.

Unprofessional performance of a good story
First of all, I would like to say I appreciate the work put into this. Not every book is available as audiobooks, so this is better than nothing - although barely.
The narration has awkward pauses, and is lacking enthusiasm. It is very monotonous, and the audio is very unprofessional (clearly recorded with a cumputer mic with mouse clicks and stuff in the background).
The story is good, the opening immediately caught me and I wanted to hear more. As the story proceeded I found it a bit repetative and lacking real development, but I will continue. That beeing said, my overall impression is definitely affected by the narration not beeing engaging.
I think this book deserves to be re-recorded.

Audio bad story good
This story is OK the problem I have is the audio is jarring almost like I am listening to a text to speech program this is noticeable if several larger words are used in succession. About 18 minutes before the end of the book when starfore makes a big announcement :-(

Great story destroyed by "production"
The title largely said it all. The Star Force series is unique and while sometimes the "science" gets silly, that is what you get with scifi at times. The strategy and societal exploration is superb. I went through most of the written books and figured I'll add the audiobook to enjoy the origins of the series... That was a wasted credit.
Let me be frank. This recording is, I am almost certain, literally a person in front of a computer at their home. There is no emotion to the reading, it almost sounds as if it was written phonetically to someone who has no idea what the words mean.
Not only that but there are numerous (I stopped counting after a dozen or so) instances of words pronounced totally wrong or the narrator getting their tongue tied in a knot, and IMHO the worst offenders, sounds of the world around the reader, keyboard clicks even the odd car.
I have, honestly and truly listened to better reddit story narrations done on youtube for funsies.
Read the books and stay clear of this abomination.
