Story4.5 out of 5 stars 190
The year is 2650. Seventy-five years ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Without warning. Without mercy. We were not prepared. Hundreds of millions perished. Dozens of cities burned. We nearly lost everything. Then the aliens abruptly left. We rebuilt. We armed ourselves. We swore: never again. But the aliens never came back. Until now. With overwhelming force the aliens have returned, striking deep into our territory, sending Earth into a panic.

In the twentieth century Earth sent probes, transmissions and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy.

Seventy years ago, the interstellar supercarrier Ark Royal was the pride of the Royal Navy. But now, her weapons are outdated and her solid-state armour nothing more than a burden on her colossal hull. She floats in permanent orbit near Earth, a dumping ground for the officers and crew the Royal Navy wishes to keep out of the public eye. But when a deadly alien threat appears, the modern starships built by humanity are no match for the powerful alien weapons.

A reasanbly good yarn, not very well read
- By George on 27-07-14
Summary
The Hundred Worlds have withstood invasion by the relentless Hok for decades. The human worlds are strong, but the Hok have the resources of a thousand planets behind them, and their fleets attack in endless waves.
The long war has transformed the Hundred Worlds into heavily fortified star systems. Their economies are geared for military output, and they raise specialized soldiers to save our species. Assault Captain Derek Straker is one such man among many. Genetically sculpted to drive a mech-suit as if he wears a second skin, he must find a path to victory. It's a battle in which he'll never admit defeat, but not even Straker knows the dark truth behind this titanic struggle. With Lieutenant Carla Engels piloting, Starship Liberator explores enemy territory in search of answers.

Good story, poor writing
I was so, so disappointed with this. Read lots of other BV Larson but this one is so clearly mostly written by someone else and it’s just not the same. There’s so much technical description you just lose sight of what’s supposed to be going on. Shan’t be buying any more in this series.

Average story, poorly performed... this book feels like it w as written by a 10 year old with too obvious wordplay and flat characters. The narrator didn't help with unemotional delivery and annoying one size fits all accents.

Good start
Liked this first book in the series very much. However, there were one or two sections which were not so great. Too much technicality in one or two sections which seemed to go on and made for boredom' hence only 4 stars.
Apart from the boring bits, narration was, as always, very good with Mark Boyett and worth the credit.

really boring
Just couldn't get into this book. Very boring I think BV Larson really needs to learn it's about quality and not quantity and stop turning up ten dozen books a year. a very generic military science fiction nothing compelling in this book whatsoever good book if you've got insomnia and you want to go to sleep.
one of his best books is his first I think it's called Swarm that's a good book and a good series

Not a B.V Larson / Mark Boyett book.
I've purchased and listened to most of B.V Larson's books/series on Audible performed by Mark Boyett (about a dozen books) and they're great. If you love a thoroughly fleshed out sci-fi universe with enough detail in the tech for the story and combat to make sense without being burdensome you can't go wrong with them. And if like me, you enjoy futuristic Starship Troopers style combat (the book not the movie) you'll love they're work as well. ...This is not the same. It's garbage. Halfway in I gave up. Vandyke sucks and an outside (his) influence is clearly evident. I'll reread Iain Banks, Peter F. Hamilton, and Alistair Reynolds before I venture out again. This books was such a waste of time.

Typical Larson. With slow start though.
First half is somewhat confusing as a lot happens without understanding the context of it. Roughly, through the half, things start come together and you can see what these authors are good at. Mark Boyett is great as always.

Super author team fails
Would you try another book from B. V. Larson and David VanDyke and/or Mark Boyett?
Thats a no brainer! They rock (usually)
What do you think your next listen will be?
Something not from this series!
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
It was pretty boring! Not because nothing happens, but because there is no reason to care about the outcome.
Any additional comments?
The book dives direct into action and just keeps going. Action is fun but only when you care who dies and who lives. The book literally begins with NO character development and throughout the book there is almost none to be found. The familiar voice of Mark Boyett does help as does his professional reading, but nowhere near enough to compensate for the lack of content.
Was this book an experiment? Did they want to see who little character development you can possibly get away with? I was beginning to think these two writers were infallible, a sure thing, but I guess they are just human.
Final word: DONT BUY!

A promising introduction to a new sci-fi series
Firstly, Mark Boyett is one of my favorite narrators. He adds personality to the characters and the story without going too over the top.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit and look forward to the next in the series. I don't believe it's available in audiobook yet so I will probably read it now then listen to it at a later time.
The characters in the story are complex and imperfect and you find yourself worrying about what happens to them maybe with the exception of Loco who gets a little annoying at times for all the wrong reasons.
The whole mutual, unmutual debate sounds a bit like the Orwellion socialism in the book '1984'. Its understandable the authors are laying a foundation to the story but I hope not to hear so much about mutuality in the future books.
In spite of the few things I commented on I highly recommend this book especially if you're looking for a new series to follow.

Would you ever listen to anything by B. V. Larson and David VanDyke again?
I might, just not the rest of this series
What does Mark Boyett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He's a good narrator
Was Starship Liberator worth the listening time?
No

Very, Slow... Descriptive to the point of Sleep.!
A struggle to finish, not your normal B.V. Larson read... The plot never really gets going, but you will never lack for details as this book is so long winded, with it's long descriptive narratives, repeated details and failure to catch and hold the readers attention... Save this one for when you need sleep, a cheap prescription for falling off... More boring than counting sheep.

A bit of a let down...
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Only if they are interested in a large dose of feelings, political rants, and some good battle scenes. Book really has a large extremely large dose of why, whining, and over winded pompous stances on morality.
Has Starship Liberator turned you off from other books in this genre?
Yes need ones with less discussion of feelings...
Was Starship Liberator worth the listening time?
no not really. Completed it but was waiting for the end to come. Fast forwarded through whole chapters...didn't miss a thing either.
