Endurance

The Complete Series

By: A.C. Spahn

Narrated by: James Fouhey

USA Today best seller!

A disrespected ship, exiled to lonely patrol in the dark corners of the solar system.

A crew of screw-ups, written off by the entire fleet.

They're about to change everything.

If they don't blow themselves up first.

Join the Endurance's crew - a trigger-happy first officer, a hyperactive engineer, a shy covert operative, a conspiracy-spouting physicist, and a captain trying to earn his way back into his superiors' good graces - as they explore the galaxy by accident and trip their way into saving the world.

This anthology includes all five Endurance novellas, as well as two bonus short stories.

Loved it

Quirky and cute. This was a fun listen. Nothing objectionable to me, interesting and engaging. I liked the stories & the narrator.

Just good clean sci-fi.

Hey there. Just for starters, I’m not really a “deep literary reader”. This is something you need to know up front.

Each story in this series was a little on the simpler side, but for a person like me who just wants to have fun, it was perfect. Nothing too complicated, nothing too obvious either.

The series gets right to the point without taking any unnecessary time way from the goings on. There was good action, fun characters, and I had no sense of “oh, come on. It doesn’t work like that.” to jolt me out of the story. Your mileage may vary, but like I said, I had a good time.

There aren’t any major content warnings I need to give either, which is something that’s pretty important to me too.

There is some minor swearing, but not name-calling or anything like that. There wasn’t any gratuitous over-description of gore or violence, and there is no sex at all. Just some minor description of a married couple kissing and a peck or two from a new blossoming relationship. Neither lasting for more than a sentence or two.

The voice-acting was great too, I really felt like each character was distinct and you could easily tell everyone apart, which isn’t something I can say for every story I’ve listened to.

Honestly I just want more, but I also feel like Mr. Spahn stopped at the right time. I’m satisfied. There is room for maybe a sister series, but as it sits, the story just works and ends in a satisfying manor.

This one is special.

So I bought this on a lark, and I'm glad I did. I think I thought it would be more military Sci fi, which is fun if mostly brainless. I was wrong.

The first story was a comedy - I kinda felt like it was always on the edge of silly, but it never quite went that far. Just a bit ridiculous.

It was followed by a short story (all in the same overarching storyline), which was not at all a comedy. There was real pathos, real characters. It was *good*. The "bad" character had real motivations, and by the end of the story I wasn't sure which side I was on. And neither were the characters in the story, who understood each others' points of view. Wow.


All the stories have a touch of silly to them, but there's real character development here.


Bravo.

Fun

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the story as well as the various characters. The narrator did a good job. I'll be looking for other books by the author. Thanks. I had a great time.

Quarky and well written

I could see this as a series on netflix or apple tv. Its fun, funny and well written and interesting characters. Highly recommend

A wonderful surprise!

I got this set on a whim, because I like it when a series is complete. I hate reading open series, cause I'm always afraid that they'll never really end. I got it to listen to while I was walking my dogs, but I enjoyed it so much I kept listening to it when I got home. My dog's got extra walks just so I could finish the series. It was equal parts farce, funny, and scary. I loved it!

Quarkt Space Adventure

The stoy read like a series of episode and kept me wanting to hear more. The characters are unique, each with their own flaws that create depth and some funny moment.

Fun Sci-Fi with Suspense Too!

A compiled five-book series, Endurance is a fun ride into the world of misfits and space. Each member of the crew has a uniqueness and special ability that makes their journey to the farthest reaches of the universe a challenge. Once they arrive there, they encounter zombies, aliens, and more. In a rush to protect Earth and their families, the crew tries to outwit the evil and determined aliens. This is where the fun begins!

The author, A.C. Spahn weaves a fun story fraught with danger and adventure. Each character has a depth of personality and presence when appropriate. Each character and plot twist are well developed and executed. Each chapter flows smoothly into the next including the short-style chapters. A misfit captain on a ship of misfit crew members promises to be a fun time.

The narrator, James Fouhey, once again delivers an authentic and distinguished performance. He provides unique voices for each character that further enhances the story and action making the book highly enjoyable.

This book comes highly recommended to those who enjoy light, fun sci-fi books with suspense.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done.

B level space opera 

Predictable, and ultimately forgettable. Doesn't really add anything new to the space opera genre. But if you like this genre as I do, you should still enjoy it. Worth buying if it comes on sale, but I wouldn't use a credit on it. 

I loved it!

Excellent adventures in space. Wonderful character development. The characters feel like old friends now. And I loved the humor. Dramatic problems and crises, aliens, zombies, historical references, and a sweet love story too. Endurance was really enjoyable! I highly recommend it 👌
