About this listen

Calvin, an intelligence operative, is sent to eliminate a dangerous traitor. But, as he chases his prey across the stars, he realizes they are both pawns in a shadowy chess game. One that threatens humankind everywhere.

If he is to uncover the conspiracy he must confront - and embrace - the darkest elements of the galaxy. And throw himself, his career, and everyone he loves into the line of fire.

A great book

This is a gripping story of lies and deception. I have high hopes for the rest of the series.

Mediocrity Defined

It's not horrible, but it's also not good. It's the audio book equivalent of eating plain white bread that has started to go stale but remains edible if you're really hungry.

Story is okay, performance is excellent!

This story takes place in a Star Trek-ish universe, with various classes of star ships, a handful of alien factions, and remote outposts. Fairly standard trek-style universe, to the point that previous exposure to star trek may actually be a prerequisite to putting yourself into the world. The story itself is compelling enough that I'll give the second book a listen, but it almost completely lacks one of my favorite aspects of this type of sci-fi: world building. We don't get much description of the ship itself, aside from the fact that it has corridors, and bridge, engineering, and an observation deck. Gravity is assumed, ships have energy weapons and shields, but unless it's specifically relevant to what's happening at a given moment, there's zero description of the ship or what life is like on board it beyond there being three shifts.

The plot is enjoyable, with well developed characters, very good action, and appropriate pacing.

Matthew Ebel's performance is excellent, with consistent and recognizable voices for each of the main characters/species.

Could not finish

This book could not hold my attention. I quit when the X.O. decided to pretend to tempt the Captain with her body. I don't know what happened. I turned it off. Very slow
