About this listen
The Terran Union is engaged in a vast interstellar war against the Krag Ruthless aliens intent on exterminating humankind. In 2315, the wily Max Robichaux is given command of the USS Cumberland, a destroyer with state-of-the-art capabilities but a combat record so bad, she’s known as the “Cumberland Gap.” Capt. Robichaux’s first mission: to take his warship to the Free Corridor, where the Krag have secretly been buying strategic materials, and to seize or destroy any ships carrying enemy cargo. Far from the fleet and under enforced radio silence, Max relies only on his determination and guile…and the support and friendship of his chief medical officer, the brilliant Dr. Sahin. Because even as he deals with the ship’s onboard problems and the stress of carrying out her risky assignment, Max and the doctor discover that the Cumberland and her misfit crew are all that stands in the way of a deadly Krag attack that threatens to end the war - and humanity - once and for all. A far-future story in the tradition of “ships of wood, men of iron” novels, To Honor You Call Us and the Man of War series combine the adventure of exploration, the excitement of war, and the dangers of the unknown through the eyes of a ship and her crew.

Entertaining Military Sci-Fi
I liked this one. An entertaining Military Sci-Fi story with well described characters and interesting world building. The story has been done many times. A misfit captain is given a poor ship and has to deal with treachery on board and an invasion. The lack of futuristic weaponry is a plus. narration is excellent with a good range. A great start to a series.

Sharpe/Hornblower In Space
What was one of the most memorable moments of To Honor You Call Us?
Being Ex/Royal Navy I enjoyed all of the call backs to Naval Traditions, but with new updated nicknames. The updated lyric to Hearts of Steele (Honsiger’s version on Hearts Of Oak) gave me Goosebumps
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Navy Day
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
There's a rat in galley, whatcha gonna do?
Any additional comments?
The prologue of this book is very cheesy but once the book “starts properly it builds steadily, introducing somewhat varied characters (the main characters are all “Spacers” so are somewhat of stereo type of futuristic sailors/servicemen.) The technology is explained enough so you understand not enough to boar or baffle. Basically it’s a rollicking good (holiday) listen in the (updated) style of Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe or C.S. Forester’s Hornblower.

Brilliant
Fabulous space farer yarn with a real feel of swashbuckling on the high seas. An unexpected gem; looking forwards to the rest of the series.

Patrick O.Brian Homage
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
This series would appear to borrow from Patrick O Birans series around Aubrey Maturin. Good Sci-Fi story with rounded characters. Worth a listen, I am getting the second book.
Would you recommend To Honor You Call Us to your friends? Why or why not?
Would recommend as a an easy read. Characters worth developing. Lets see where it goes.
What does Ray Chase bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
A good range of both British, American and Euro-Asian accents helped to ID the characters easily. Good pacing and pleasant delivery.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I never do, However I did take the opportunity to listen to this as quickly as possible. I.e. taking every opportunity.
Any additional comments?
If you like Military Sci-fi and or Naval Fiction with some character development then give this one a go.

Modern space opera with a classic feel
I really enjoyed this book. It's not a hard SF book chock full of details about warp fields and science; but for me it has a bit of a classic feel to the story - men are men and women are sadly absent with action and adventure all the way! The story is engaging with enough off ship action to get the feel of an actual universe filled full of independent human offshoots and completely alien non-human species and cultures.
The narration was a bit of a let down for me. Chase has a good variety of accents and distinguishing features for the cast, but the voice he uses for the Doctor was so soft I often had trouble hearing the words.

Don't think So
I found the awful southern drawl of the narrator both irritating and off-putting, which is why I only managed 3 chapters.
