The Syndicate Worlds continue to splinter as more star systems pledge allegiance to President Gwen Iceni, General Artur Drakon, and the new government they're establishing at Midway. But the toxic legacy of Syndicate rule continues to undermine their efforts as the rebels encounter difficulty trusting one another and believing their new leaders' promises of freedom from tyranny. Before Iceni and Drakon can put their house in order, they must deal with an even greater threat.

From Joshua Dalzelle comes the follow-up to the number-one best seller Warship. Captain Jackson Wolfe survived the initial incursion of a vicious alien species into human space...barely. He had assumed the juggernaut that had devastated three Terran systems was the herald for a full invasion, but for the last few years it has been eerily quiet along the Frontier. Jackson now struggles to convince the Confederate leadership the threat is still imminent and needs to be taken seriously.

In the 25th century, humans have conquered space. The advent of faster-than-light travel has opened up hundreds of habitable planets for colonization, and humans have exploited the virtually limitless space and resources for hundreds of years with impunity. So complacent have they become with the overabundance that armed conflict is a thing of the past, and their machines of war are obsolete and decrepit. What would happen if they were suddenly threatened by a terrifying new enemy?

Story was a little slow at first and a little jarring as background info was no given until later in the book. Narrator did a good job with pacing and voice inflections.

To the Kleese, the Earth is nothing more than a planet full of conscripts to fight in their numerous wars of aggression. The Kleese are one of three large Galactic Empires that control the majority of the galaxy. To them, Earth is an extremely dangerous planet due to the aggressiveness of the humanoid species that inhabits it. The humans that inhabit Earth will make excellent conscripts, but something must be done to prevent them from expanding out into the galaxy.

the Narrator is horrible.
Revisado: 06-15-15
The narrator needs to be fired. He's a speed reader and has no idea what punctuation is. Good narrators pause between character dialogue and non dialogue story elements. Also the voice inflections he added to many portions of the story made it hard to listen to. I'm not sure he actually understands the period and commas mean. I wanted to give the story more stars but the narrator actually ruined that too. I'm sorry to be so harsh but there are may better narrators used by audible and the use of such a bad narrator made the story too hard to listen to.

Ensign Andrew Dahl has just been assigned to the Universal Union Capital Ship Intrepid, flagship of the Universal Union since the year 2456. Life couldn’t be better…until Andrew begins to pick up on the facts that (1) every Away Mission involves some kind of lethal confrontation with alien forces; (2) the ship’s captain, its chief science officer, and the handsome Lieutenant Kerensky always survive these confrontations; and (3) at least one low-ranked crew member is, sadly, always killed.

Easily as good as Hitchhikers Guide, Wil Wheaton brings that All-Star narration to an outstanding book. Also the Fans of Star Trek TOS and TNG finally get a inside look at how the red shirts really feel.

Captain John "Black Jack" Geary's legendary exploits are known to every schoolchild. Revered for his heroic "last stand" in the early days of the war, he was presumed dead. But a century later, Geary miraculously returns from survival hibernation and reluctantly takes command of the Alliance fleet as it faces annihilation by the Syndics.
Appalled by the hero-worship around him, Geary is nevertheless a man who will do his duty. And he knows that bringing the stolen Syndic hypernet key safely home is the Alliance's one chance to win the war. But to do that, Geary will have to live up to the impossibly heroic "Black Jack" legend.

Excellent Sci-Fi
Revisado: 10-01-12
Would you consider the audio edition of The Lost Fleet: Dauntless to be better than the print version?
I don't own the print version.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Lost Fleet: Dauntless?
The very begining of the book. I don't want to spoil it for anyone who has not read the book.
What does Christian Rummel and Jack Campbell bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Yes. I think Christian Rummel is one of the better narrators on Audible.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not really, but the overall flow of the book is excellent.
Any additional comments?
Overall one of the best Space Battle book I've ever heard.

This is the story of Michael Talbot, his family, and his friends: a band of ordinary people trying to get by in extraordinary times. When disaster strikes, Mike, a self-proclaimed survivalist, does his best to ensure the safety and security of those he cares for. Book one of the Zombie Fallout Trilogy follows our lead character at his self-deprecating, sarcastic best. What he encounters along the way leads him down a long dark road, always skirting the edge of insanity.

What about Sean Runnette’s performance did you like?
The narrator brought the main character to life, to the point of making the listener feel that he or she may actually know someone like that.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The event with Eliza and the Armory Zombie.
Any additional comments?
The story is so compelling (if your a zombie novel fan) that I didn;t with to get more credits to get other books in the series.

Not bad but not great.
Revisado: 03-19-12
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
No, it wasn't among the better of the zombie genre.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It seemed to end too abruptly, as though the writer was still in the middle of the story but then just decided to end it.
Did Michael Kramer do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
Yes, the narrator did a good job.
Was Dead City worth the listening time?
Yes, but only if your really a fan of the zombie genre
