About this listen
Earth is not alone. There is a towering civilization out in the galaxy, far greater than anything we can imagine. But we are isolated from the galaxy...until now.
When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship - and their lives.
To Steve the captured starship represents a great opportunity, one to establish a new civilization away from Earth and its increasingly oppressive bureaucracy. But with the aliens plotting their revenge and human factions suspicious of the new technology, it will be far from easy to create a whole new world....

Great narrator, poor story.
This is probably the first book I stopped listening to and want to get a refund for.
The timeline is unrealistically fast, the main character is unbelievable and hardly likable.
The science is, well non-scientific at best and rarely plausible.
The political overtones and statements were grating, and it was written from the point of view of a gun nut as opposed to a nerd.
There are gems in there, but too much bad story telling for me to keep listening.

Basic story is fine but lots of politics
Found the premise of the story to be fine but at times the book felt like a vehicle to present right wing politics. Very simple solutions to complex world problems. I found this distracting from what the story was. Enough here to get me on to the next in the series though.

Innovative story. A bit too red neck for me.
Pretty good story line . Kept me engaged. However the whole gun toting thing was too much for me.

cliche but original
a book about every space cowboys dream of alien technology making life better. great listen. a number of typical ideas but mostly original in ways. Although lacks details about the technology itself. Book just says "its a laser rifle" and thats it...
otherwise its great fun listening to. A big space strategy game in book form.
