Summary
Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past. The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.
But Avalon has been a backwater posting for 10 years and has problems a mere refit can't fix. The systems along her planned tour have been seeing pirates for the first time in decades, and there are rumblings of Commonwealth scouting ships all along the border. It may be Avalon's final tour, but it looks to be anything but quiet.

Sci Fi in setting only.
Disappointing. Up to and including chapter 5 which is as much as I could manage, I don't know how it has so many good reviews, it's like a poor man's Hawaii 5 O in on a space ship. The author seems to have thought that if you set your book in a system called Amazon and repeat that location every time the scene changes it'll get you an audible book.
If you like space operas where things actually happen and time isn't spent doing inventory after inventory and digging up old reports about assaults on female offiicers to inject random violence in an attempt to spice it up a bit, I suggest you listen to something else.

Good listen to an already great book
having read the book prior, I knew what was coming, having listened I can say it was just as if not more enjoyable to relive the story via audio, give the whole series a read and a listen

Very enjoyable story with good characters
Good story easy to listen to some plot twists and characters you want to know more about.
Well narrated good pace and tone of voice.
The only problem I have is it feels like it starts half way through a longer story.
It is possible this series follows a story I've not listened too this doesn't hurt the story or plot in anyway.
If you like stories like Empire's Corps or Ark Royal by Christopher G. Nuttall you will like this

Good Plot, well narrated
Interesting storyline with a couple of plot twists. Well performed with good "characterisation" by the narrator.

Space naval battle story. OK
This is an OK story. Lacking the real strength of the best of it's type. Nowhere near a Five star. But fine for a free series. I did finish the whole series. Still not a five.

Nice enough. Ticks along
I wouldn’t stop you from getting this. I’d just let you know not to expect a wonderful story foul of amazing characters. But it’s got space ships and explosions. That’s what I wanted it for and it delivered.
