About this listen

A brilliant scientist uncovers a terrifying plot to begin a galactic war. Aided by a talented, but reluctant and embittered combateer, he must stop the deployment of a super weapon he invented. A weapon so powerful it threatens to destroy entire worlds.

Status Quo is the first book in a four part space-opera series called the Elect Saga. It is set in a distant part of the galaxy filled with pirates, bounty hunters, traders, explorers and strange aliens. The stories are inspired by the space-trading and combat simulation games of the 1980s and 1990s.

Dawn Rite Publishing is an independent UK press, founded in 2011. We deal exclusively with fictional works in the SF and Fantasy genres.

The story is good, a little heavy on the references at times perhaps. The narration is generally good, occasionally some of the emotional utterances felt a bit flat, but that might also have to do with sci-fi replacement swearing sometimes feeling a little awkward.

Rebecca attempts an American-sounding accent for a newscaster character at one point, her accent is not bad, but British pronunciation sneaks in, especially on the word "flare", so that's something to work on.

In general I thought both narrators did a good job and it was a fun book.

A good yarn overall

i enjoyed it very much. I've scored the performance 4 Stars simply because i reckon the voice talent can and will be improved in the future. But no complaints really.

Enjoyable story. A page turner for the ears.
