What did you like most about Steadfast?

It seemed to be inspired not to remain stale but started to use existing characters to get back you interest in a new story.

What other book might you compare Steadfast to, and why?

The previous book.

What does Christian Rummel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

He is one of the best and he brings the story to life every time.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes.

Seemed like a filler episode

If you could sum up Steadfast in three words, what would they be?

Missed the mark

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Disappointed that the story didn't seem to resume from the stuff discovered in the last book, but rather drifted into new plotlines at an unresolved tangent. Perhaps this is the intention of Mr Campbell, and both storylines will re-combine in the next book. I certainly hope it does!

What about Christian Rummel’s performance did you like?

Great narration. Didn't have any issue with Christian Rummel's performance in this Audiobook. Keen to hear more of his work.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Not really. After the plot lines from the last book remained unfinished after the first part of the audiobook, I finished the second part kind of zoned out while working. No major spoilers to be had that drew me back in. Even while barely paying attention I could see where the story was going, and thought it was becoming pretty silly.

Any additional comments?

Not a great book for Jack Campbell (I've come to expect pretty epic reading from him in the past, this is merely good). I'd strongly recommend it to people who have followed the series, as it does have some really nice emotional interactions between Blackjack and other characters, and you find out some more about what's happening in the Syndicate and Alliance worlds. Not a great deal mentioned regarding the other empires of man that exist on the other side of earth though. So I am pretty disappointed about that. Thought it would be a really interesting new path. Hopefully future books will address that and the Enigma's more.

Still keeps the interest but getting predictable

While the story doesn't have the same excitement of earlier books it still interesting to listen to. Maybe we know Jack Campbell too well, or maybe he's stuck in the universe he created, but the main plot points are a little predictable. Hopefully the next book will through up something unexpected.

Christian Rummel is a great narrator, there is absolutely nothing your can fault with the performance.
