it just ends

well trying not to give a spoiler, its not a bad story but after listening to it all it just sort of ends - like that happened see ya - no outcome or ending, its like the author got fed up writing it and went sod it, it's finished - disappointing

Really compelling story!

I love naval stories and sci-fi so this blended perfectly! Strong story, looking forward to seeing how it developed.
Only a couple of things that dragged my rating from a 5 to a 4 overall (recognising I put 5 to the only two sub options!).
Firstly, for a full audible credit it’s quite short at 4-5 hours, so in terms of value I’d suggest this would be better value as part of a bundle (which I’ve seen done elsewhere).
The narrator has a wonderfully therapeutic voice (reminds me slightly of Ringo Starr doing Thomas the Tank engine!) and really brought the characters distinctly to life. But a couple of small mispronunciations but me more than they should - coxswain should be “cox-un” rather than “cox-wane” and I think I forecastle is “folk-sl”.
Either way, did enjoy so will find the rest of the series!

Really unique book 

I really enjoyed this book, very unique and a great way of telling a UFO encounter. I’m really keen to listen to the other two books in the series I hope they get released soon

Not Master and Commander meets Stat Trek

It’s a good book. But I pulled the trigger after the Constant Face Book advertising. It’s the first FB advertised I’ve bought and it’s the last.

Well narrated. And Nautical terms are accurate.

It’s also short. I have a rule not to waste a credit on a book < than 10 hours.

While interested in seeing what happens to Alex Burns. I won’t be buying the next books.

concept

way too far fetched for me and the narrating didn't match tye situations. when characters were shouting or breathless, the narration was calm and ordered etc

Waste of a credit and over advertised

Good idea for a story but I don’t think it worked. Became a bit of a struggle to get to the end

Couldn’t finish this

This is a decent story idea, but two factors meant I couldn’t finish it.
Firstly: The monotone delivery of the narrator, no change in tone, inflection, or pace to suit what was actually happening, if this guy could read my kids’ bedtime story they’d be asleep in 2 minutes.
Secondly: this is basically a short story that’s been artlessly padded out like a student trying to meet a word count on a report. Whole chunks that felt like they were lifted from a google search of ‘how a naval cannon works’, ‘why ships have female names’ etc, and the pointless ‘plot device’ of one of the characters only speaking Gaelic so everything he says has to be translated, to name just the two most jarring.

Total Rubbish

Poor story poorly read in a monotone
listened to many books on Audible and this is the 1st time I've felt compelled to write a review... nothing good about this book.
