Reading the comments, I had no idea how many closed-minded people read sci-fi. The book is from 2018, long before hardly anyone had heard the word 'woke' let alone thought they knew what it meant. Ditto CRT. Sit back and enjoy, it's free! (PS - thanks to the uploader!)
Like Star Trek, the crew seems incapable of doing the obvious without an order. Surely evasive maneuvers and returning fire should be automatic when ambushed? Also a marine escort for the captain should be S,O.P. With no complaint from the captain.
In the military you often don't have the option of doing the obvious at your own discretion - especially on a ship. It takes an order from an officer or the Captain to move the ship or fire a weapon system. The job of the crew is to be ready to instantly obey those orders. Enemy ships operate the same way and under the same restrictions. Equipment plus the better use of it, and better tactics are what make the difference.
@@TedBronson1918 Agreed, there is very little freedom of action in larger groups. Won't work. If you are on a three man patrol, it could work... but on a ship with hundreds if not thousands of crew members cannot survive making things up as you go along!
@@ericblair3009 It's sort of funny... that lack of personal discretion and inability to fire back when threatened was one of the reasons I decided to join the Army Infantry instead of the Navy. The same type of situation may occur - holding fire until the order is given etc... , but a soldier often has far more discretion when his personal safety and that of his unit are concerned.
Well guess what, every single person is racist to some extent - not on moronic things like skin color but because we all (to some extent) dislike people different to us. But better to keep the big pretense going that we all "have" to love each other - uh, we don't. If we did truly love each other there would be no war, no stealing, no murder and no arguments. If someone can explain why these human traits existed since the beginning of our species and what to do about them, then you will have solved racism and get a big emoji in thanks.
I find grandiose space ships boring. No sailors would waste a single micometer of space. They would stuff every in. Compare it to Spanish armada. As in all instance were the commen becomes the rare. The average citizen would be packed in like the emigrant of the 20 centurie. A few rich but most of them would have private. What kind of humanity is willing to step in to the cold fires of stellar space. And all that awaits.
@@Puddin-Tamir is definitely a commentary on the sjw insanity plaguing our society and nation. Still, it's really hard to listen to. Crazy how a book can evoke such a visceral emotion. It's like the author took the events of evergreen state college and wrote them into his book verbatim.
This book is designed to highlight the batshit crazy nature of sjw culture and beliefs. There is a conflict of universe destroying proportions and the civilians are consumed by their perceived social issues. Their lives are so empty and meaningless that they elevate every little thing to catastrophic proportions
Like anything else on this entire planet too much of anything food sex even water is really bad for you moderation is important I mean your against something with the word justice in it everyone has to be extreme
The arguments are way too cheesy. Everyone is acting as though they are children including the protagonist of this book. It’s almost unbearable. The plot is nice though so I endure. If only the arguments were a little more well structured and not so blatantly fallacious this would have been the perfect space fantasy novel.
This book is ridiculous, half way through the story thinking theres more to the story, nope the main character is having problems implement procedures that damping racism. Its written in a way that make it seems that fighting racism is preventing this man from doing his job. Because he has to take sensitivity classes and bend to the demands of people upholding civil rights he was losing respect of his crew. Now his whole crew is pissed that they have to take racial sensitivity classes.Yeah he have to takes sensitivity classes. because he might have some racist tendencies tour other aliens. This guy really said that he's not racist because he has aliens friends. This book should have focus on the bureaucracy but the main focus is racism. Let's point something else out. He was accused of only hiring humans and his excuse was there not enough aliens who have the qualifying skills. There are billions of aliens in the galaxy and he couldn't find enough aliens to qualify for his ship. Ridiculous smh
Kind of reminds you of what? How this author may of seen reality in the system we are in? You can see it in certain branches of the government jobs/ town jobs, and military branches ,,,Maybe not as much now as before.. But it still there..Only reason I giving this a shot is your description ..We already fear Aliens without even knowing them... Even the local Aliens we want to wall out lol
That's not what he said about why his ship was more humans then other aliens if you would have read the other books you know what he said was true the other aliens where less war like then humans who where made to be soldier's by another race so it would be a fact that more humans choose to join the military then anyone else there for there is going to be more humans then anyone else how is that his or anyone else's fault or a racist statement his best friend is a alien his mentor and him where the only ones that didn't hate aliens when all the other humans did so wtf
@@Doomchaser1 fearing aliens without knowing them? who does that? when you say we.... whos ...we ?. isn't it very possible that there are lacking very large groups of people unfamiliar with certain requirements needed for really any position ? is that racism ?
One hour in and bored to tears. Sometimes I prefer some action in a military adventure book. 2/5
This narrator could read the dictionary and make it enjoyable
Mark Boyett is one of my all-time favorite narrators for science fiction. that is the only reason I'm listening to this story😂
Very good. Yes, pt. 2 plz
i know it's kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to watch newly released series online?
The fact that this PC stuff among the citizens is allowed to continue in a timenof war is not believeable... It really weaken the plot.

Brilliant reading. Pathetic story. Not for me.
I hope to God, the scenario on this ship is fiction - so much else has obviously been taken from recent reality.
Next book please, if you don't mind?
Good series, can you upload book2 please please please

It seems like a parody of what is going on in the United States right now.

Why do people compare Spaceships to Naval vessels they have little in common when you really think about it .
