About this listen
One thousand years after Earth was destroyed in an unprovoked attack, humanity has emerged victorious from a series of terrible wars to assure its place in the galaxy. But during celebrations on humanity’s new Homeworld, the legendary Captain Pantillo of the battle carrier Phoenix is court-martialed then killed, and his deputy, Lieutenant Commander Erik Debogande, the heir to humanity’s most powerful industrial family, is framed for his murder. Assisted by Phoenix’s marine commander Trace Thakur, Erik and Phoenix are forced to go on the run as they seek to unravel the conspiracy behind their Captain’s demise, pursued to the death by their own fleet. What they discover about the truth behind the wars and the nature of humanity’s ancient alien allies will shake the sentient galaxy to its core.

Where does Renegade rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Up there with the best but just as much a normal fiction story just happens to have some sci-fi themes.What other book might you compare Renegade to, and why?
EE Doc Smith: Big crash bang with a good story.Have you listened to any of John Lee’s other performances? How does this one compare?
John Lee's performance as usual is a solid American delivery.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I wanted to know what happened next rather than laugh or cry.Gripping story from the start set in sci-fi

The sett-up:
The human race has long since joined the other space fairing races in the spiral galaxy. We come into the story as the human race and it's allies celebrate their victory in a massive war. On the surface this should be the start of a long peaceful age...but trouble is brewing.
Very much a book made for an epic scale. Numerous races, thousands of years of history, galaxy spanning politics and massive spaceships.
The downside is that it is very exposition heavy, and it's a lot to keep track of while new information is continuously getting added to the pile. The characters are generally well written and easy to follow along with.
Might be easier to keep track of everything with a text version instead. Not a light read, but a good one. would recommend.
The start of something big.
