About this listen
A mysterious entity may be the key to a starship’s survival - or a terrifying new threat - as the Odyssey One series continues...
The Empire has set its sights on its next target: human Terrans. As effective allies of the Priminae, the denizens of Earth have proven themselves enemies to the Empire, and now the Imperial forces know more about the Terran home world than ever before.
The battle for the planet’s survival will see the Odysseus first into the breach. But more perils loom for Commodore Eric Weston and his comrades. They’re at odds with the political conflicts dividing Earth’s government and challenged by the mysterious presence haunting their vessel - its intentions unclear, and the extent of its powers unknown.
As the Empire brings the battle home, the crew of the Odysseus will need to determine whether this entity will support them in their fight for survival, or prove to be another dangerous foe.
There’s no turning back...and the only way forward may be a pathway to doom.

Really hope he continues this series
I loved it. I would have liked more info about the hail Mary at the end - but then it wouldn't have been a surprise. Maybe felt a little rushed compared to the previous books, there were time chunks missing at the end. In saying that I really enjoyed it and can see so much scope that hasn't yet been explored.

A series that griped my imagination
This series was one of the most excellent sci-fi stories that I have ever enjoyed!
Of course, that's my personal opinion and this story type is to my liking.
Here are a list of pros to me that may be cons to others:
Detail - Evan Currie would seem to love detail! From space battle description to weapons to ships to armour to physics to stellar behaviour and everything in-between. I LOVE it! A lot of the concepts utilised heavily are speculative but are based in solid scientific theories and expanded upon thusly.
Semi fantasy-like inclusion:
Odysseus, Giai, Sol, and Central: all of these characters are Gestalt beings. I have never encountered this concept in sci-fi, and in many ways, the unexplained nature of their existence feels fantasy-like. To me, I thought that would ruin the feel of this series at first, but I quickly grew to enjoy it as mysteries were dangled in front of me about what they are, where they came from, what their plans may be - and as is alluded, what Gestalt is pushing the empire.
Final pro for me that I think might be a con to others (there are MANY other purely pros from me that I could babble about).
Repetition:
So certain points, or many points for that matter; are repeated in varying ways throughout each story. I do believe that if I were a listener just doing normal stuff that would annoy me sometimes.
But as this is what I listen to during my work and I don't always listen consistently, I find the repeated points to be good to jog my memory back to their point at hand or the details that were expanded upon previously.
I loved the characters, I do feel some could have been more fleshed out. I also feel that with the described durations of time between events that there could have been more character-driven shipboard or planet-bound relationships or circumstances to consider.
I LOVED the imaginative take on current science, scientific theory, popular culture inspiration and human social evolution.
I am moving on to Archangel One in the hopes that it is at least as good as this.
Thank you for the fantastic novel Evan!
