About this listen
The year is 2650. Seventy-five years ago, an alien fleet attacked Earth. Without warning. Without mercy. We were not prepared. Hundreds of millions perished. Dozens of cities burned. We nearly lost everything. Then the aliens abruptly left. We rebuilt. We armed ourselves. We swore: never again. But the aliens never came back. Until now. With overwhelming force the aliens have returned, striking deep into our territory, sending Earth into a panic. Our new technology is useless. Our new ships burn like straw. All our careful preparations are wasted. Now only one man, one crew, and the oldest starship in the fleet stand between the Earth and certain destruction: ISS Constitution.

This is a well constructed and relatively light Sci fi space opera. Interesting and convincing plot. I have read everything over the last 50 years and I can commend this book to future readers. It's not earth shattering such as early Niven (Ringworld) or late A.C. Clarke (Rendezvous with Rama) or more recently the fabulous James A Cory; however in accordance with contemporary Sci fi: it scores 5* because it's up there with the best of John Ringo (as sole author), any of Ryk Brown, B V Larson or Joshua Dalzelle, but not quite as good as the best of John Scalzi. To the author - we need less fighter jocks, heavier Sci fi, larger galactic range, more humour, a complex romantic interest and a greater use of polysyllabic words (I take it that you are writing for adults? In which case I like to learn something from every chapter. I should also add that Greg Tremblay did a superb job, I actually liked his strange Scottish accent - trust this assists. Rexcellent space opera

Where does Constitution rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Just finished listening to this book with tears streaming down my face as the climax and finish is very emotional as the writer has embroiled you into the main character of the Constitutions captain. The books finish leaves quite a few questions unanswered which I do hope means that we will be presented with a sequel to this novel, if so cannot wait. Give us more.Fantastic space opera

What made the experience of listening to Constitution the most enjoyable?
Two factors, having a solid story that I would love to read, and a great performance.What other book might you compare Constitution to, and why?
Other books, not so sure. But story wise it has elements of Battleships and Space Above and Beyond, both a great film and TV series, (back in the day)Which scene did you most enjoy?
I have to admit getting towards the ending. Where Tim is with Abe in the sick bay. Worrying over the state of his own life and then picking his backside up and not settling for giving it anything but his all.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Jessica - the fighter pilot whose thoughts flitted to her comrades and her family. Giving all she had and never letting go of the fact it was still her duty to be there, to die to protect them all.Any additional comments?
I have to admit, I've been a member of Audible for some many months now, and got a few books on my list, listened to a few part way through and lots of samples. However, this is the first book I've listened to from beginning to end. I'm not an easy pleased reader, or I found listener, the story itself and characters were a hard to track at first, and the chapters too short for me, but the names began to register and the more I listened to this story, the more I fell in love with it. The narration itself was what kept my interest, from the differences in character's speech and traits, it was very easy to listen to and to get involved with. When I anticipated something was going to happen, not only did the performance keep up with it, it kept me guessing till the last minute.I already bought the book, and pre-ordered the next audio. It's been a great few days of listening (in my van at work) now what am I gonna do. lol...
Excellent job to both writer and narrator.
A must buy, great all round. :)
