Acerca de esta escucha
When Ximon Sabo retires from the Kremniy Republic Scout Force he’s awarded a retired scout ship, the Mantis, but he has to find work to keep her flying. On missions across a dozen solar systems, Ximon and his crew make first contact with an alien species, pull off a daring rescue from a beleaguered outpost, face hostile pirates, and even face a murder mystery. The Mantis team - a female engineer with a drinking problem, a sensor operator who’s also a priest, Ximon’s sexy companion robot, and the ship’s AI computer - must work together to face challenge after challenge, before they run out of money or the ship falls apart around them.
If you like hard sci-fi and space opera novels with a Firefly or Expanse vibe, or if you enjoy inter-galactic role-playing games such as Traveller or Starfinder, you'll love this audiobook. Jaunts of the Mantis will hook you with intense space action, while its rich, colorful characters, and engaging stories keep you coming back for more.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Historia
Dirriken Friedel used his aristocratic connections to rescue his troops. He didn't plan on starting a war or killing them himself. Now he spends his days in jail, waiting for an assassin sent by his dead officers families to end his misery. When he's broken out by off-duty marines he has a chance to start over, if he's worthy. During his ramshackle escape he collects a broken-down trading ship, a bitter former army officer, a genetically altered religious fanatic, a runaway ingenue, a sham engineer, and a murderous femme fatale.

Historia
Decades after the last footprints were left on the Moon, the US was preparing to return to the Lunar surface in a new class of rockets, when the mission suddenly became much more urgent. It would have to be a rescue mission. Unbeknownst to the rest of the world China had sent its own Lunar expedition. A manned expedition. Until a distress call was received, no human outside of China even knew that the mission was manned - or that their ship had crash-landed and couldn't take off again.

Five thousand years in the future, humankind has spread across thousands of worlds, and more than a dozen different governments exist in an uneasy truce. But human beings have found no signs of other life anywhere approaching human intelligence. This changes when scientists discover a sunless planet they name Danann, traveling the void just beyond the edge of the galaxy at such a high speed that it cannot be natural. Its continents and oceans have been sculpted and shaped, with but a single megaplex upon it - close to perfectly preserved.

It's been eighty years since Thorn split his people into six societies spread across the galaxy. He's known all that time a timeline shift was coming, and the role he needed to play when it did. The mages of his world are ready, including his great-great nephew, Bud. For Bud, living in the shadow of his legend relative hasn't really been an issue, and his role in the timeline shift is supposed to be minor. But Kali has an agenda, magic has its own agenda, and since Thorn is old, and tired of his people's reliance on him, he too has an agenda.

Earth is conquered. Sol is lost. One ship is tasked to free them. One Captain to save them all. When an alien armada destroys the United Earth Space Force and takes control of the human homeworld, newly reinstated Captain Annette Bond must take her experimental hyperspace cruiser Tornado into exile as Terra's only interstellar privateer. She has inferior technology, crude maps, and no concept of her enemy, but the seedy underbelly of galactic society welcomes her so long as she has prizes to sell and money to spend.

They’ve fled, leaving Sansar Enkh to go to the Mercenary Guild headquarters on Capital Planet to stand trial for humanity.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Within the L, a tri-star system located inside the Aquilian Nebula, Jax makes a living trading and smuggling whatever goods pay the best. So far, he’s avoided being caught with anything too damning in his ship’s holds, but when he takes a job for Korinth, an infamous arms dealer, all that changes. The haul is worth 10 times his ship, and when the contents gets him embroiled in a tug of war between the major political factions of the L, Jax has to keep the criminals he works for from discovering that he’s playing both sides.

Good Start
I found the beginning of this book a little hard to get into. There were times when it became a bit to scientific. As the story progressed it slowly got better. I hope the author continues with the series as I would like to see what happens to the characters as the storyline unfolds.

Excellent beginning for an excellent series!
It took me a bit to get used for a woman voice as a narrator for a science-fiction book, its a first for me but eventually it worked up just fine.
Same with the writer Jim Henderson,
The beginning was a little slow, surprisingly as i kept listening it kept getting better and better with amazing unpredictable twists.
All i can hope is that the author will keep going with the same surprises on the rest of the series and that will let me continue reviewing it all.

Transcription Of A Play-By-Post?
This work reads to me like the author was a participant in a long-running play-by-post roleplaying game and thought, "Hey! I could transcribe this and publish it!" I say this because it's very loosely formed; good bones but lacking flesh. There is also a major plot problem in the story of the scout base rescue. It's never explained why their small scout ship (which later on can land without problem on a stretch of unimproved grass by a sandy beach) must land dozens of kilometers from the base, use their ships vehicle to get most of the rest of the way there and then be forced to hike the final few kilometers. Especially when it turns out said base incorporates a cleared landing area large enough for an interplanetary shuttle! If this were a game, I would suspect the Gamemaster imposing these requirements arbitrarily in order to increase the chance of a random encounter with local fauna or difficult terrain. Another hint that this is a transcibed roleplaying game is how - in several scenes - the author's "explanations" of orbital mechanics make no sense at all. This would be fine for a game, assuming that all participants have agreed to overlook such things in the interest of creating a story together. But it's inexcusable in a published science fiction novel. Nevertheless, I intend to purchase the next book in this series, in the sincere hope that the author learns from these early lapses and improves. I am doing so because - despite the flaws - I really like the characters and wish them well!
