About this listen

What happens in the wake of Failure Mode?

The Aftermath of a stunning victory—especially an unexpected, complete, and final victory—should be high-fives all around, listening to politicians give boring congratulatory speeches, and a well-deserved rest for the Merry Band of Pirates. Yes, the galaxy is still a freakin' mess, but that is nothing new, and for a change, that can be someone else's problem.

Until, you know, something really bad happens, and only the Pirates can deal with the problem... Or not.

"And what was your eldest son's very first words?"

I was initially worried about the massive time jump from the previous book, until this exact moment (when Skippy asks Joe the above question). The answer (which I won't spoil) had me coughing and choking on the potato chips that were in my mouth.

I love this series.

BEST BISHOP EVER you must listen to this story

This is a great story! It keeps you guessing all the way to a well developed ending.

However, the best surprise is Joe Bishop. He’s still the same guy we love, but he has moved well along his arc. What a great job of taking all the main characters through their journey, and bringing the listener along.

Best book of the series!

I went through mourning for nothing!

When I finished book 15, Failure Mode, I was devastated because I thought the series was over! I seriously went through a mourning period and didn't listen to any audio books for about 3 months because nothing could fill that void.

The character development throughout the series has been beautifully done and I cannot wait to see how they will adapt and change in the books to come. With all of the possibilities left open for this story to follow, I anticipate some major shock and awe moments in the future!

Even if I hate any books that come to follow, I will listen to them all the same thanks to the dramatic and dynamic voice of the narrator. I really think it is his voice that pulls me so deep into the storyline that I loose track of reality, which I greatly appreciate.
