Acerca de esta escucha

Once every four years, the Earth Alliance Naval Academy is included in a war game...or rather, the Wargame: On a distant frontier colony, cadets must repair, recommission, and crew a fleet of old, mothballed warships for a simulated fleet action against a group of seasoned veterans using top-of-the-line warships.

After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua. Thanks to a genius engineer, an Army veteran loaned to the Navy for the war game, and an unconventional captain, they make a new discovery which turns her into the most valuable warship in the fleet: the first ever Shieldclad warship.

The crew abruptly finds itself center stage in a real combat action, however, when Earth is attacked by an unknown foe, and a lone squadron of these once-mothballed ships is the Alliance's only hope to respond....

Star ratings are becoming meangless 4 1/2 Stars???

The plot is transparently formulaic and manipulative to the point of being childish. The accomplishments of the two protagonists are so far beyond the pale as to be unbelievable. Examples (Spoiler alert) a first year engineering student - on his first exercise - develops a shielding tech and improved speed that all the minds of the fleet have not been able to invent. He accomplishes all of this before the ship is even out of mothballs. Meanwhile his girl friend who is a second year student and isn't even an engineer figures out how to soup up the ships canons.

I have noticed a lot of ratings inflation lately. There is no way that this book deserves 4 !/2 stars. Audible needs the fix the ratings system. It is becoming meaningless.

It’s the Merrimack EVENT!

Full of action, spiked with humor, a dash or two of romance, and just a trace of mystery twined through the plot, Mr. Tatum has created a near perfect space adventure. And how do I arrive at that conclusion? I can easily picture Harrison Ford as the excelling strategy engineer and add it to the Adventure trail of the Jones’s. I can hardly wait for the next book in the iron-clads!

Excellent story - when is the next one coming?

Was captivated by the story.
Also, there are no unnecessary build ups of characters that can drag even a good story

Awesome start to the series

I can not do this book justice, I do not write many reviews because I do not have that artistic touch but this one deserves for me to try and leave a good review.

This was book 1 and it was a great start. Academy cadets take part in a large scale war game until the unexpected happens.

I like a book that grabs your interest early on an keeps you wanting to know more about the characters. The characters are very likable and has you wanting to follow them through every second of the story. Character building has been good so far and I waiting to see what happens next to the young cadets and in the rest of the story.

Merrimack

A little slow to start. Lot of teen romance/angst. But well done action scenes later on. Excellent performance.

A good Read

This was a good stand alone book. I have listened to allot of Sci-Fi and this has a chance to be a good series. It's a little week on the scientific details and some of the "abilities" the ships have confusing at times. The War Games idea is a good one for the story to start from. I'm looking forward to any additional books in the series.

wow! great story and narration!

what do you get when you combine a solid Sci Fi story, you get that when an author has done his homework and great planning, with Troy Duran's voice?
one of the best SciFi Audio books I've had the pleasure to listen to.
bravo!
