About this listen
One starship will either save Earth or destroy her.
A century ago our star erupted, destroying Earth's wormhole network and closing off trade with her colonized planets. After being out of contact with the younger worlds for so many years, humanity is shocked when a huge ship appears at the edge of the solar system. Our outdated navy investigates, both curious and fearful. What they learn from the massive vessel shocks the planet. The lost colonies have survived - but the reunion isn't going to be a happy one. Our descendants are vastly superior in the art of warfare. Worse, there are other beings undreamed of beyond the human frontier: strange, unfathomable...alien.
Battle cruiser Defiant, the first capital ship to darken Earth's skies, is tasked with exploring new passages to the younger planets. Old Earth must reunite with her children...but can humanity survive the inevitable conflicts? Captain William Sparhawk, determined to follow a path of honor and truthfulness, dares to rise to the challenge. Battle Cruiser is a military science fiction novel by best-selling author B. V. Larson.

Good story, but laboriously written.
Pretty long winded and some really unconvincing parts of the manuscript.
I'd give anything for just about ANY other narrator on audible too.

A good read
Not quite the suspense and punch of other books by the author but a good read none the less.

Great story
Great story but the protagonist with help from the narrator makes him sound and act like he has Asperger's syndrome.

Punching the refund button after an hour
What would have made Battle Cruiser better?
Better narrator to start. Sounds like a copycat of other stories.
Navy Pilot, son of rich parents don't approve of him in the navy. I stopped when he spotted a beautiful girl after being summonsed to earth by his rich father.
What will your next listen be?
Not sure
Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Edoardo Ballerini?
anyone
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Eh...
Main character states/complains that he is subject to prejudice with people believing he gets special treatment due to having political parents, then in the next chapter is requested by name to leave his post to attend a political event being hosted by his parents. He is meant to be security but drinks with the other guests.
If the main character was having a hard time I'd enjoy it, but because he is an entitled complaining dishcloth of a person the book isn't enjoyable.

2 dimensional
The narrative is stereotypical and Disneyesque. The characters are clichéd and the dialogue is wooden. The Narrator managed to make the hero sound constantly panic stricken.
