About this listen
A Warship Named Sky-A Hero's Story is a story you won't forget. The twists and turns will catch you off guard and you'll be left wondering what is going to happen next.
Excerpt: A Warship Named Sky;
Whoever was there wasn’t speaking a language he ever heard. He stuck his head around the edge of the door and saw an alien waving their arms at the front of the ship as it talked loudly. He looked closer and saw that the alien was the same species as the one that came to look at his ship earlier, only this one was a female; That repairman must have contacted her immediately after he left. He thought about what to do and finally decided that he couldn’t just do nothing. He stepped inside the door and cleared his throat. The female alien whipped around holding something in her hand. He held both hands up as she lifted her arm and pointed some kind of device at him. He suddenly felt a presence in his thoughts as she smiled and pressed a button on the device that he could now clearly see was a weapon.

Dr. Beth Parker is a space archaeologist, documenting the history of planetary expansion and colonization for Kalok Enterprises and the Interplanetary Mining Guild. A piece of alien technology embeds itself in Beth's arm, giving her the ability to see the energy impressions of long-ago people and events. When Beth uncovers proof of genocide that could bring down the big mining companies, she's the target of assassins. Wyatt makes a split-second decision to intervene, launching them both into a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with some of the most powerful organizations in the system.

An attitude? Why not? After all, what would you do if you were abducted by aliens and transported into a strange new universe away from your home, your family - everything familiar to you? Would it make you happy? Not likely! Now imagine you're stronger, faster, and more coordinated than every alien species you encounter. Would you start kicking some ass? Of course you would! This is the story of human superiority in the galaxy, a gritty, realistic profile of a young Navy SEAL who doesn't like aliens very much - and he makes them pay for the bad mood he's in.

Long after most other REVs were dead, burned out or "retired", Zac was growing stronger, more powerful. He was also doing what no REV had ever done before during a Run. He was beginning to think.

Once every four years, the Earth Alliance Naval Academy is included in a war game...or rather, the Wargame: On a distant frontier colony, cadets must repair, recommission, and crew a fleet of old, mothballed warships for a simulated fleet action against a group of seasoned veterans using top-of-the-line warships. After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua.

Story
Benjamin, Mark, and Chloe were all set to graduate college in a few weeks. Ben had ordered a strange object from eBay to use as cover art for a book he was writing. It looked really cool, like a slightly charred old military artifact from 70 years ago. It was possibly part of an engine. After cleaning it up (it was found in a cow field), he placed the strange device on his dorm room desk directly over the wireless charging port. That woke it up. Unknown to him, the disabled starship hiding on the moon could now communicate with the missing part. The ship needed two things: 1) The missing ...

Appropriate narration
This title is, in part, about a computer on a spaceship. The virtual narration fits the story perfectly.
I wouldn’t want this tour of narration for every title, not for every genre. But it fit well here.

Short, sweet and to the point.
I speeded up the narrative a little and it flowed better. The story caught my interest from the first and kept it to the very end.
The Author kept the pace of the story complete and concise. (Spoiler alert) I cried when the hero died but the story concluded satisfactorily. I am going to recommend this story to my space fantasy friends to read. A definite keeper.

Although it felt a little rushed at times, the story was enjoyable and compelling.
The virtual voice was...ok...I can't help but feel that it would have been a more enjoyable read had it been voiced by a human.

I Suspect I Would Like it More W/O Virtual Voice
I enjoyed the story and the unbelievable successes of Angle would probably be easier to accept with better delivery. The virtual voice did detract from my enjoyment of the book. The story is especially unique and not like much I have heard or read. How the author hold some information back till key points reminds me of Asimov's stories. Definitely worth a listen especially once the narrator is a person (and it is presumably no longer free).

A Good book to listen to when I travel
This will be one of those "go to" books when I'm looking for a light, feel good title. I thought the AI narrator was very well done.
Had back surgery and this was a great book to get me through recovery. Friend passed away.... this book was good for this time too. Long , cold, winter days... this book helped me through.
