StarFire

Vince Lombard, Book 1

By: Mike Lee

Narrated by: Jason Brenizer

Captain Vince Lombard, G-Marine company commander, is tasked with tracking down a stray ship. The Alliance Military Ship StarFire has gone silent, and previous attempts to locate her have resulted in the loss of more ships. After two previous wars with xenospecies humanity bumped into while expanding into space, no one knows what might be the cause of StarFire's missing in action status. And internal politics between Fleet command and the Galactic Marine Corps might mean that, unless something is done, humanity may get the news it's at war with yet another new race about the time they show up to attack one of the human systems in the sector.

A prequel to the book Fey, this story is a novelization of the story Vince related to Blondie in the previous book, which many readers requested. I'm happy to accomodate my readers by providing this novel-length version of that story.

Wow! Hard to put it down

The story is outstanding and well read. It's the first time I can remember being thankful that my morning commute was delayed by an hour, so I could continue listening to the story.

Great book!

Great military sci if book, performance was 5 stars. Can't wait for the next book.

Good but dwells on things a bit

Would you consider the audio edition of StarFire to be better than the print version?

The story is good and i want to know what happens an i will listen to the next one. but it may get pushed back for more favorable authors. I prefer a fast paced book, i am not a hardcore read me the serial number sci fi fan. i like it fast pace action pact hero driven book. but the story will make me keep coming back, because the hero here gets in a spot and i really want to know what happens and i like him. if he wouldn't tell me so much about marine procedure and why and don't of everything he does. oh and he repeats some of the same things to.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Solid Narrator, i could identify each character by his voice. he lead questions to questions and statements to statements i was never confused ny the meaning.

One of the Best Books I've Listened to on Audible

This was a great listen and I would highly recommend to anyone that likes military scifi, JAG or general scifi/mystery type books. It is probably in my top 5 of books from Audible (out of about 75 listened to so far). I liked the way the author approached the topics and kept it VERY interesting from the very beginning. Some of his thoughts and strategies on military action in space were also quite novel, not to mention thought provoking. Only disappointment is that the 2nd book in the series is not available at the time of this review.

Wonderful space adventure

Wonderful story had a hard time putting it down. Wonderful writer just discovered Mike Lee recently really like his works. Jason Brenizer is very good too very enjoyable to listen to.

Second and Third time through this

I re- listening to this book and will be also listening to FEY again as well. This author really knows how to tell a good story. You won't be disappointed if this type of material is your thing!

Great read, one of the best I've listened to

One of the best stories I've listened too. Great story and narration with good detail into the story. A must read.

interesting, despite the narrator

the narrator does hist best to convine you to stop listening. he reads every part in a clear monotone voice, that almost made me stop listening a few times. but i am so glad i did not.

this is a grwat listen, well worth you time and money.

The future with accurate military framework

The story digs into the missions that can be understood by the marines of today. This is as close to the officer enlisted relationships that will be familiar to any marine today. The story brings the world into a believable framework that is exactly what any military member will relate to. Loved it!

I was surprised

I was thinking it was a simple space sci-fi but I didn't think it involve court hearings in it. Good story and a little surprising twist.
