Summary

Alone and unafraid. Sometimes you prevent war by hunting down your enemies.

Integrated with a superdreadnought, the artificial intelligence known as Reynolds takes his ship across the universe in search of the elusive Kurtherians. He comes to a revelation. He’s better in the company of living creatures.

He needs a crew. He needs information. And he needs to continue his search and destroy mission.

Needing a crew and getting a crew are two completely different things. Reynolds is out of his element as he tries to reach out and make friends. Through it all, he has his vessel, the superdreadnought, the most powerful warship in the galaxy.

Or so he believes.

I got quite a bit to say here so I will start with the negative. The story is quite meandering at first glance as the ship goes from thing to thing and there is only a gentle threat connecting them but honestly, I find that quite irrelevant. The only big issue is at the start, it is a bit of a build-up and I almost DNFed it but I am SOOOO glad I didn't!

That is because of the great parts. The characters are absolutely magnificent, they are funny, feel like real people. There is genuine chemistry that you see in friends and a tight crew that is on a mission but does not quite have, yet somewhat tries, to have the air of military around it. There is swearing in the story in a natural way, they don't feel too vulgar nor too formal for what they do and it is all balanced and befitting to each ones personality and history as far as they are revealed in this book.

There are plenty of hilarious moments, setting fitting sarcasm, witting and much else. A great read if you ask me and I'd recommend it time and time again despite its meandering story because that is not that relevant with such a great cast!

And the performance by Phil Thron, absolutely fantastic, greatly done. Could try to make the voices a bit more distinct but he does the job well enough and his execution of all is marvellous. I recommend this to any scifi lover.

Meandering But Great Entertainment

This book looked interesting but at first listen I was thinking of returning it as the thought of listening to an AI with multiple personalities did not sit well with me. I gave it a second listen and to my surprise the human characters completely changed my thoughts on this book so much that I have pre ordered book 2. So do not be put off this is developing into a great story line and I greatly look forward to all the following books

Really enjoyed this book. Ordered book 2 before I was half way through and thrilled to see there were even more. Reynolds et al were laugh a minute characters and Phil Thron is, as usual, utterly brilliant, he being the reason I opted to listen to this book in the first place. Well worth a listen.

Humorous Sci fi

Had read a few reviews saying it was hard to get in to at first, I didn’t find this the case. The story has a good pace interjected with sci fi movie quotes that sci fi geeks like myself will appreciate.
Only criticism is that I was not happy when it ended I was hoping it would go on indefinitely.

Loved this book

But reminds me most of all on the good old teen movies i used to watch back in the 80'.
Now I'm in my mid fifties and the book are clearly aimed to a much younger public.
Anyway I found the entertainment value basic, not at all intellectually challenging but not that bad or boring that I abandoned the story.
If you, as I, just want some light listening to fall asleep to, it's recommendable but if you're looking for something deeper, scientific and socially/politically interesting, don't take this path. The story merely scratches these points.
There's a lot of sarcasm and humor in the story, not the kind that makes you laugh out loud, just a lot of invert hahas.
Still I'm going to listen to the next book in the line. 👍🏻

Kinda good entertainment
