More than 100,000 copies of the Slaver Wars series were sold in 2013.
Operation First Strike is coming to an end. It has succeeded in buying the Human Federation of Worlds valuable time to prepare for the coming invasion. Now Fleet Admiral Streth needs to get his remaining warships back home to aid in the defense of the human worlds. The AIs and the Hocklyns are determined to follow the admiral and annihilate every single human in the federation. The humans are massively outnumbered, but they have a daring plan that just might save their worlds. However, the AIs have a plan of their own--one that will ensure the end of the human race if it succeeds.

I think the voice actor doesn't help here either - he uses the same enthusiastic cadence whether reading an intense battle description, or banal banter about, say, a particular character's liking for hamburgers. This just works to highlight the weak points in the writing.
The battle descriptions and the story line is much better, and manages to make the book, and the series, interesting enough that you want to know what happens next. But a masterpiece it is not. Be aware of that, and don't go into it expecting any literary merit, and you might enjoy it.
Another thing I have to mention is that about half way into the book, the audio quality degrades and varies noticeably. Not a serious complaint, but a complaint nonetheless.
Action packed, but weak character writing

Would you try another book from Raymond L. Weil and/or Liam Owen?
This series is one that I hate to love. The writing is amateurish. The dialog between characters is unnatural. And the reliance on adjectives is over the top. Finally, while placing females in positions of power and authority, the author failed to give them strong voices. In almost every situation, females are portrayed as demure and event passive...not strong presence one expects from Captains and Admirals. All of this is distracting to what is a great story. I find myself suffering through the poor execution in order to find out what comes next. I salute the author for creating a wonderfully compelling story. My advice to you is to fire your editor. He/she did not do their job ensuring your writing lived up to your vision.How did the narrator detract from the book?
Unfortunately, the narrator let the story down as well. He places emphasis often in the wrong parts of a sentence or passage. His vocal range is too limited to do strong female voices effectively. In this story, there are many strong female leaders. Yet the narrator makes the sound mousey and weak. This was a very weak performance by a narrator with limited skills.Any additional comments?
I can't wait to buy and suffer through the next one.Great story poorly executed

What does Liam Owen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
The voices seemed to dramatic and at times it sounded like they were recorded in a bathroom.Any additional comments?
Well done, other authors could learn a lot from this author. The story was without the unnessary profanity of other authors!Well done, other authors could learn
