Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 461
The royal family of a powerful empire are visiting Belvaille for an upcoming diplomatic summit. But their plans are somewhat interrupted when the galaxy’s premier assassin shows up and eliminates every single aristocrat. All except for one child who had been hidden. Hank is happy minding his own business. Of course, his business entails robbing, extorting, eating lots of food, and fighting. But compared with the rest of the criminals of his city, he’s practically a saint. However, Hank’s easy existence is interrupted by the chief of security.

A year ago the Kher Empire was forced to retreat, but they were not beaten. In Orion Fleet, they return with a new weapon. A huge ship driven by AI begins methodically grinding inhabited worlds to dust. This unstoppable enemy is without fear or remorse, and the Rebels begin a desperate battle just to slow its advance. Leo Blake takes Earth's first warship into space to find a counter to this deadly new attack. The Imperial Fleets take notice of Earth's interference, and they're intent upon revenge. Even if he wins, Blake might have doomed our homeworld.

Lots of Action, But a Little 'Comic Book-ish"
- De Striker en 03-05-15
- Wings of Steele: Destination Unknown, Book 1
- De: Jeffrey J. Burger
- Narrado por: Kevin Clay
Sexist and annoying.
Revisado: 06-30-15
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No. The story is not too bad, but the sexism shines through in a bit of a revolting manner.
The female characters are all one dimensional, [to the author] inexplicably mysterious in mind, are there for the convenience of men, and "gives a women's touch" to new found alien artifacts.
All that said, the main reason I had to stop listening to the book, was the "IN A WORLD WHERE..." movie promo narration got too much on my nerves.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Couldn't endure to the end.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kevin Clay’s performances?
No.
Was Wings of Steele: Destination Unknown, Book 1 worth the listening time?
No. How do I return it?

School reel
Revisado: 06-30-15
Would you listen to Drifter: Drifter, Book 1 again? Why?
No. I love Dietz writing, his prose gives you pause at times, to ponder the art of the sentence he just crafted, regardless of the subject; however, this particular narrater breaks up the sentences in an aggravating manner, not unlike the way old educational school reels used to do.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Angel. Very complex character.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Bill Quinn?
No. I will avoid this narrator. Bill Quinn may have reverted me to reading books again instead.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, if by another narrator.
Any additional comments?
This is great writing, and I will read the remaining books instead of listening to them.

After almost a century of peaceful exploration and colonization of space, the United Earth Space Force stumbles across a shockingly xenophobic alien race that has more and better armed ships and refuses all attempts at contact. As the outgunned Space Force is driven back in battle after battle in what appears to be a war of extermination, one officer experiences precognitive visions that help him blunt the enemy onslaught, but he can't control or predict when they occur.

Read like a dull machine gun, the story was as exciting as a particularly boring after action report. There's such a thing as moving a story along too briskly.

Booklist calls the world of Hugo Award winner Elizabeth Bear’s spellbinding Jacob’s Ladder series “magnificently populated, well worth visiting.” Here the trilogy that began with Dust and Chill draws to its stunning conclusion. The passengers of the generation spaceship Jacob’s Ladder have found a new home at last. But the planet Grail is already inhabited - and its population of genetically engineered humans has no intention of sharing the world.

If you could sum up Grail in three words, what would they be?
A pleasurable listen.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Mallory. Can't argue with a levelheaded necromancer.
Any additional comments?
This final chapter brings clarity to the entire series, and is, as the others, a delight to consume.

War is forever. The people on Earth no longer remember how the human race was nearly obliterated centuries earlier during the terror visited upon them by the merciless Xul. But the Star Marines, 30,000 light years from home, know all too well the horror that still lives.
