About this listen

The third trilogy in the hit Ark Royal series begins now!

HMS Vanguard is the most powerful battleship ever to be commissioned by the Royal Navy, but she is not a happy ship. Her commanding officer is eccentric, rarely seen on the bridge; her former XO has deserted his post; and her first middy is resentful because he hasn't been promoted as he deserves....

But when a first contact mission goes badly wrong, HMS Vanguard and her crew are plunged into an interstellar war against a new and deadly alien threat. And if they don't make it back to friendly space in time, they will merely be the first to die in a new interstellar war.

Best Trilogy of the 17 Arc Royal Books I have listened to so far.

I almost punctured my ear drums in the first 8hrs but thank goodness I did not. It suddenly explodes like an A Bomb, it gets better in the 2nd book of Trilogy (book 8 of series) going into meltdown and then goes off like an H Bomb in the concluding book.

An outstanding space opera. The best.

Just make sure you have no sharp objects nearby when listening to first half.

Slow steam powered start but then goes Nuclear!

Good characterisation with the introduction of of new people and the return of old ones ten years on.

Another virtual page turner.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I Liked the Story, but there were times when there was a jump in the story leaving you wondering if a chapter had been left out, a chunk of download missing. It gave me the impression that this had been hurried. Was this worth the purchase, I think only if there will be a followup Book 8 in this series.

Not quite as Expected

Really enjoy this series of book since the beginning with Ask Royal. Vanguard Book continues this great form with the Royal Navy in space. It is very refreshing from the staple of American super hero movies going on now. Though I don't see any of these books being changed to movie format which is both good and bad. Can't wait til book 2.

The Great Series continues
