Publisher's summary

USA Today best seller!

A disrespected ship, exiled to lonely patrol in the dark corners of the solar system.

A crew of screw-ups, written off by the entire fleet.

They're about to change everything.

If they don't blow themselves up first.

Join the Endurance's crew - a trigger-happy first officer, a hyperactive engineer, a shy covert operative, a conspiracy-spouting physicist, and a captain trying to earn his way back into his superiors' good graces - as they explore the galaxy by accident and trip their way into saving the world.

This anthology includes all five Endurance novellas, as well as two bonus short stories.

Loved it

Quirky and cute. This was a fun listen. Nothing objectionable to me, interesting and engaging. I liked the stories & the narrator.

This one is special.

So I bought this on a lark, and I'm glad I did. I think I thought it would be more military Sci fi, which is fun if mostly brainless. I was wrong.

The first story was a comedy - I kinda felt like it was always on the edge of silly, but it never quite went that far. Just a bit ridiculous.

It was followed by a short story (all in the same overarching storyline), which was not at all a comedy. There was real pathos, real characters. It was *good*. The "bad" character had real motivations, and by the end of the story I wasn't sure which side I was on. And neither were the characters in the story, who understood each others' points of view. Wow.


All the stories have a touch of silly to them, but there's real character development here.


Bravo.

Fun

I enjoyed this book. I enjoyed the story as well as the various characters. The narrator did a good job. I'll be looking for other books by the author. Thanks. I had a great time.

A wonderful surprise!

I got this set on a whim, because I like it when a series is complete. I hate reading open series, cause I'm always afraid that they'll never really end. I got it to listen to while I was walking my dogs, but I enjoyed it so much I kept listening to it when I got home. My dog's got extra walks just so I could finish the series. It was equal parts farce, funny, and scary. I loved it!

Quarkt Space Adventure

The stoy read like a series of episode and kept me wanting to hear more. The characters are unique, each with their own flaws that create depth and some funny moment.

Fun Sci-Fi with Suspense Too!

A compiled five-book series, Endurance is a fun ride into the world of misfits and space. Each member of the crew has a uniqueness and special ability that makes their journey to the farthest reaches of the universe a challenge. Once they arrive there, they encounter zombies, aliens, and more. In a rush to protect Earth and their families, the crew tries to outwit the evil and determined aliens. This is where the fun begins!

The author, A.C. Spahn weaves a fun story fraught with danger and adventure. Each character has a depth of personality and presence when appropriate. Each character and plot twist are well developed and executed. Each chapter flows smoothly into the next including the short-style chapters. A misfit captain on a ship of misfit crew members promises to be a fun time.

The narrator, James Fouhey, once again delivers an authentic and distinguished performance. He provides unique voices for each character that further enhances the story and action making the book highly enjoyable.

This book comes highly recommended to those who enjoy light, fun sci-fi books with suspense.

There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook, it was well done.

B level space opera 

Predictable, and ultimately forgettable. Doesn't really add anything new to the space opera genre. But if you like this genre as I do, you should still enjoy it. Worth buying if it comes on sale, but I wouldn't use a credit on it.

I loved it!

Excellent adventures in space. Wonderful character development. The characters feel like old friends now. And I loved the humor. Dramatic problems and crises, aliens, zombies, historical references, and a sweet love story too. Endurance was really enjoyable! I highly recommend it 👌

sci-fi with a comedy twist

I do not want to spoil too much. That being said, if you enjoy shows like "the Orville" or "Star Trek" this is the right book for you. Plenty of entertainment for everyone.
