About this listen
Jack has undertaken to return rescued Tirarge, a hitherto unknown species, to their home planet. The first problem? The Tirarge cannot speak—they're telepathic. The second problem? They don't know where their home system is located. The third problem? Another starship is following Fearless, likely seeking revenge.
Oh wait, there's another problem. Two other species also inhabit this unknown planet, and they can't speak either.
Surprisingly, that's not the end of Jack's problems.
Jack, while sympathetic to the issues facing the planet and its people, has no standing apart from Fearless and his three bots and the Eagles and the SAC scouts and a squad of Black Company marines and a warrior squad of Tirarge and an AI or two...
The rulers of the planet, ignoring civilized conventions, have a simple yet elegant solution. They re-name their world and nominate Jack as its new owner. They engrave the title to the planet on a massive diamond, a jewel worth more than Jack can ever dream of. The new name of this world? Jack Foster's Planet.
There are enemies on their way, possibly a GalFed destroyer or two, and a planet to protect. Join Jack and his team—ever increasing—in their venture to help their new friends against slave traders and Jack's Planet against illegal mining.

Light reading, style is still a bit stilted but some fresh ideas.
I've listened to all three of the series. They are ok light reading. The ideas are better than most though the execution comes across stiff and sometimes stilted. The narrators manage to save some parts.
The overall style is almost didactic, with lots of detail that may be interesting to some but is not necessary to carry the story arc.
it is "space opera" so be ready for the over the top hero with despicable relentless villans and a Bond-like ability to attract formidable women. if you read with. the expectation of a bit of light fun then you'll likely smile and get the next in the series just to see if the hero really does end up running the known universe!
John, from your bio you are making a serious go at this, you've got a great imagination but some of the turns stretch my "suspension of disbelief" to the breaking point. can I suggest you focus on either making this a really good detective story or a galaxy spanning political thriller. Apply a bit of the "Lee Corey" Expanse model hold a few key threads and weave some more believable characters.
keep going I'll buy the next one just to see where this all heading.
