Bad decisions

it took a little bit of time to get into it but then towards the middle I began to enjoy and was eager to see where the story would go. however it became clear that the characters were being prompted to make some bad decisions. I hoped it would be a red herring and that they'd persevere and it would all be alright. But nope they went with the bad plan. With barely any protest, and I can't say I enjoyed it.

Immersive

I have been following author Scott Bartlett for some time now. Having now listened to the Forever Ship I found it to be both immersive and expansive with excellent narration with deep character story/development. I am looking forward to the next book ind the series.

Good Military Sci Fi story

As well as the main story, also included is an extra prequel story and side story.

The book was a good start to what will hopefully be a long series of stories about mankind overcoming their enslavement at the hands of a cruel alien overlords. With the help of an Ancient AI controlled spaceship.

You will love it

The world pictured in the book has a genuine feeling of menace and of human life being next to worthless. Reminded me of books set in occupied Europe during ww2. Very well done with characters you can "feel".
The human crew of a starship, under oppressive alien occupation, encounter a miracle. An ancient sentient ship who offers it's help. But at what cost.

Another captivating series!

Buckle up, space cadets! "The Forever Ship" by Scott Bartlett and Joshua James is a stellar addition to the sci-fi universe, and it's no surprise that this book has truly rocketed to the top of my favorites list. If you’re ready for a ride that’s out of this world, this book will take you on an interstellar adventure that’s more thrilling than a supernova.

Scott Bartlett, with his signature cosmic energy and passion, has once again proven why he's one of the brightest stars in the sci-fi constellation. His writing in "The Forever Ship" captures the same electrifying essence that fans have come to expect from his previous works. This novel isn’t just a book; it’s a warp-speed journey through a universe filled with intriguing characters and breathtaking action. Whether you're a veteran Bartlett fan or a newbie to his galaxy, this book is a fantastic introduction to a new series that’s bound to become a classic. I’m already counting down the light-years until the next installment.

And speaking of stars, let’s talk about Mark Boyett, the voice that truly brings this story to life. Boyett is the undisputed captain of sci-fi audiobooks, and his performance here is nothing short of stellar. From his work on "Expeditionary Force" to "The Ember War," Boyett has always been the voice that launches a thousand ships. In "The Forever Ship," he delivers a performance that’s as smooth as a zero-gravity glide and as powerful as a photon blast. Boyett’s narration ensures that every character, every twist, and every moment of suspense hits harder than a meteor shower.

Scott Bartlett, Joshua James, and Mark Boyett make a cosmic team that’s unbeatable. Their collaboration in "The Forever Ship" is a supernova of storytelling, one that promises to light up the sci-fi skies for a long time to come. So, if you’re ready for an adventure that’s light-years ahead of the competition, this is the book for you. Prepare for launch, and enjoy the voyage!

Hooked

When I chose this book to listen to, as usual I hoped for a good listen, it turns out it was more than I expected, not finished it yet, but I am hooked and not long to the finish, when the next book is available, I will purchase and continue the vision being portrayed, so far very enjoyable, and as usual I will relisten after a month of finishing, that will be the real test, I have quite a few books, but only a few that make it to the list of re listen go to books, so I will post again when I have read book 2.

very good so far.

Layout

This book includes a prequel a short story and some explanation of the vessels. It would’ve been more useful to listen to this first before listening to the main body of the book.

Mysterious ship, awkward crew

Narration was hit and miss. many times during it I didn't realise it was a female character speaking which was frustrating and confusing and struggled to put the characters name to the voice. The story was the typical sci-fi fare humanity in peril fighting against a nefarious alien race, a theme I do enjoy but again the narration was my biggest gripe.
