Acerca de esta escucha

Lieutenant Travis Long of the Royal Manticoran Navy is the sort of person who likes an orderly universe. One where people follow the rules. Unfortunately he lives in the real universe. The good news is that Travis is one of those rare people who may like rules but has a talent for thinking outside them when everything starts coming apart. That talent has stood him - and the Star Kingdom - in good stead in the past, and it's one reason he's now a "mustang" - an ex-enlisted man who's been given a commission as a king's officer. The bad news is that two of the best ways of making enemies ever invented are insisting on enforcing the rules...and thinking outside them when other people don't. Travis learned that lesson the hard way as a young volunteer in basic training, and he knows that if he could just keep his head down, turn a blind eye to violations of the rules, and avoid stepping on senior officers' toes, he'd do just fine.

But the one rule Travis Long absolutely can't break is the one that says an officer in the Royal Navy does his duty, whatever the consequences. At the moment,there are powerful forces in the young Star Kingdom of Manticore's Parliament that don't think they need him. For that matter they're pretty sure they don't need the Royal Manticoran Navy, either. After all, what does a sleepy little single-system star nation on the outer edge of the explored galaxy need with a navy? Unhappily for them, the edge of the explored galaxy can be a far more dangerous place than they think it is. They're about to find out why they need the navy...and how very, very fortunate they are that Travis Long is in it.

Last 5 hours pure action

Overall very well done. I couldn't stop listening to the last part and stayed up too late. I could do with less of the political bickering, and of Long's misattribution of motives to others. And while the final battle was exciting, after the first engagement I couldn't figure out the situation. It seemed like they were just going from confrontation to confrontation without a consistent overview of the tactical situation.

Travistea Long strikes again and gets snubbed

More of the same but now he's an officer with a love interest. Still a stickler for the rules but still thinking outside the box.

Slow burn

Its a slow burn. High drama for one chapter consists of dog sitting. Don't come in expecting space battles for a looooooong while.

Opps

Any additional comments?

So, my review for the last book was meant for a different series, and Audible does not allow me to correct that :(

So, I would like to correct that in this review.

This series is different from other Weber books I've read (mainly with Steve White) where the focus is mainly on one character and not the universe. I wasn't expecting that, but it was done well.

Action & Intrigue

Great narrator and excellent mix of political and military action. Some hard lessons in indirect lining your pockets to the harm of King and Country.

The Hall of Hero's

This is an extremely well written take, however, it is focused on so many different heroic characters that one must keep track of. The result is a story that lacks focus until the final battle. Not perfect, but a good read.

Absolutely awesome space opera!

Take two amazing Science Fiction authors, add a plot with some really bizarre complications, mix thoroughly, and you have a wonderful read!
