Henry Morgan went to a baseball game hoping to catch a pop fly - not an untimely death from a flying lawnmower to the head.

It's the lawnmower he gets. But he doesn't stay dead. Instead, he wakes up to find that a century has passed, and he's being drafted to be the governing AI for humanity's first interstellar starship.

In the year 2117, humanity is confronted by a metastasizing alien threat that's already established itself in the asteroid belt.

It's Henry the starship's job to sail out to it, investigate it, and end it.

Or to die trying.

Box set contains:

1. I, Starship

2. Tin Can Combat

3. The Earth We Knew

4. Revolution Space

5. The Scattering Stars

Performance is great as always from this narrator.

The story is intriguing and I’m definitely continuing to read but I have one issue with a main character.

Will try to be as vague as possible. There is one character that is waaaay too over the top with their bigotry towards the main character. It’s just a bit much.

Everything outside of this dynamic is great though!

Good but some weird things (imo)

The concept of the story is good, but the characters are so frustratingly incompetent and annoying. Nobody seems to have even read the manual or background for the RM. Everyone just assumes that it's an AI without even bothering to validate. He's criticised for not knowing something that he has not been trained on, and none of the ship's crew seems to have been trained on how to use or interact with an RM. They just threw on the ship and assumed they could.

The captain is terribly incompetent: he doesn't know what tools he's got, doesn't know how to use them, doesn't know how to speak to subordinates, and flakes out. He's just rubbish.

The AI engineer goes from hot to cold for no reason at all, just on the slightest little misstep. The engineer's wife is irritating in that she's just completely irrationally unreasonable about the fact that the RM exists and can see a camera, so can humans else on the ship. Every department store has cameras with people watching them. I had to stop listening to it. It was just too annoying.

Annoyingly incompetent characters
