About this listen
The union jack takes to space! All-new alternate history science fiction from New York Times best-selling author Steve White.
In an alternate future where the British empire never crumbled, the spaceships of Her Majesty’s Navy work to keep the spaceways safe. Commander Robert Rogers of the Royal Space Navy is a defense intelligence officer known for his unconventional ways. Rogers is American born and raised, a loyal citizen of the Viceroyalty of North America. He’s a descendant of the founder of the highly effective, pro-British Rogers’ Rangers during the Colonial unpleasantries of 1776, and he’s inherited his ancestor’s intelligence and drive in spades.
But there are those among the stars who are not so happy being subjects of the British Empire. In the Tau Ceti system, a cauldron of trouble brews as a terrorist faction of the rebellious Sons of Arnold attacks the empire from within, and warships of the theocratic Caliphate enter the system, prepared to do their worse to destroy the hated empire head-on.
Yet standing against the coming anarchy and tyranny is one intrepid spy prepared to risk all for queen and empire: Commander Robert Rogers, her majesty’s American.

For such a short book I felt that White went into too much unnecessary detail, for example a listing of planets and statistics about them. His characters spoke far too formally and with some definite cases of verbal diarrhea. While he does put a lot of effort into his re-imagined history it was often distracting rather than of any benefit.
The narration by Matthew Lloyd Jones was mostly fine but some of his accents felt weak and his dispassionate alien voice was perhaps too good in that it was hard to listen to.
So, maybe some good ideas but this was a book that simply didn't work for me.
Not the Book I Was Looking For
