About this listen
Prodigy. Deserter. Commander.
At 22, Commander Ellen Ryu is a little young to be "retired". Yet she’s planned - and bled in - more battles than veterans twice her age. And, well, she didn’t exactly retire so much as desert. Betrayed by her superiors, turned into a science experiment, and nearly driven insane, Ellen seized the chance for freedom when a shadowy organization offered her a ship of her own and an elite, all-female crew. She's got a new mission now: get revenge on the scientist who almost destroyed her. Nobody is going to get in her way this time. Especially not the merc who's just shown up at her cargo hatch, looking to hitch a ride.
Mercenary. Convict. Renegade.
In the middle of an op gone wrong, cyborg mercenary Kael Sidassian gets stuck with a mission he can't refuse: carry a capsule to safety, the contents of which would bring the galaxy down on his head if anyone knew what was inside. But he’s also got damaged hardware in his head and a plan to escape from the barbaric merc company that forcibly conscripted him over a decade ago. So when a humanitarian ship grants him passage, he thanks his lucky stars for a job that'll solve all his problems at once. That is, if the attachment he’s forming to the ship’s commander - one that goes way beyond duty and loyalty - doesn’t get in the way.
As a new threat rises, the prodigy and the renegade discover far more in common than they ever thought possible. Now both their missions will have to wait, because if they aren't audacious enough to work together, they'll never survive what's coming for them. For lovers of romantic space opera, Lois McMaster Bujold, and David Weber, The Empress Capsule is the first volume in the new Audacity series.

Fun YA Military Sci-Fi with diverse characters
I found this to be a very entertaining Y.A. military sci-fi story.
It has well-rounded characters, with a well paced story.
There is very good world building and many interesting locations visited along the way.
There is a diverse cast of characters, with some strong female characters.
The characters had very convincing motivations and consistently made intelligent decisions to further their goals.
Overall a very fun story, and I'll certainly be looking out for book 2...
I received this book for free, but left this review voluntarily.
Very good narration, handles multiple character voices really well.
