About this listen

"Welcome to the Pelaran Alliance...."

With those simple words, the Guardian spacecraft openly revealed itself to humanity, heralding a new chapter in its 500-year-long mission to cultivate our world. Earth's population must now make its first planet-wide decision - join the most powerful alliance in our galaxy or chart our own course, deciding for ourselves which civilizations are worthy of our trust. Will we be the first world to decline the Pelarans' invitation, or does their offer come with an implied threat?

Aboard Terran Fleet Command's flagship, TFS Navajo, Admiral Kevin Patterson assembles his formidable but untested forces in hopes of defending the Earth. Knowing that an attack is imminent, he must risk everything in hopes of finding his enemy and taking the initiative.

Returning from TFC's first battle, Captain Tom Prescott learns that his frigate, TFS Ingenuity, is more heavily damaged than expected. Now he must race against time to prepare a new ship, then execute a daring mission to save Earth's last and best hope of avoiding full-scale interstellar war.

No problem with the storyline or plot, but the way this author portrays the characters and the way they speak, they’re like androids!
No slang, no shortening of words, very little humour.. just emotionless, plain English.
Not very engaging to listen to

Are these humans or Vulcans?

A more technically minded sci fi approach.

Sets the situation up well, let’s mutually capable people do their thing and allows for the use of supportive AI systems without replacing the initiative of the crews.

This setting is a popular one (the rise of and first contact by humanity) but this is IMO one of the better approaches to account for humanities survival to start exploring beyond the solar system past the usual “we ignore non FTL cultures” hand waving (plus a good driver of the inevitable conflicts of interest that follow).

Spins a good yarn, good performance

I like the characters and the storyline, its light listening. the books are a bit short and all end abruptly as if it is a long book cut up. but I'll continue to the third book and see what happens next....

its good and I want to know more.

Excellent

it's a little corny, but it's good fun. The story is a little padded out with long-winded explanations and exposition though, otherwise an interesting story. Worth a listen

easy listening sci-fi
