About this listen

Ten thousand years ago, a single alien super-ship survived a desperate battle. The vessel's dying crew set the AI on automatic to defend the smashed rubble of their planet. Legend has it the faithful ship continues to patrol the empty battlefield, obeying its last order throughout the lonely centuries.

In the here and now, Earth needs a miracle. Out of the Beyond invade the New Men, stronger, faster and smarter than the old. Their superior warships and advanced technology destroy every fleet sent to stop them. Their spies have infiltrated the government and traitors plague Earth's military.

Captain Maddox of Star Watch Intelligence wonders if the ancient legend could be true. Would such an old starship be able to face the technology of the New Men? On the run from killers, Maddox searches for a group of talented misfits. He seeks Keith Maker, a drunken ex-strikefighter ace, Doctor Dana Rich the clone thief stuck on a prison planet and Lieutenant Valerie Noonan, the only person to have faced the New Men in battle and survived to tell about it.

Maddox has to find a place hidden in the Beyond and bring back a ship no one can enter. If he fails, the New Men will replace the old. If he succeeds, humanity might just have a fighting chance...

Enjoyable Sci-fi with strong old school flavour

Enjoyable Sci-fi with strong old school flavour - reminiscent of Deathstalker series maybe? Check it out and decide for yourself . I am continuing with the rest of the books. Recommended.

Pretty good, except for the Scottish accent

I'm enjoying the book, the story is engaging, the tech interesting but not overwhelming. just that Scottish accent is nothing like I've heard before.

Good story, good performance

The story wasn’t to out there like some other space operas I’ve listened too and it didn’t over explain every technical detail like some obviously feel the need to. Would recommend.

Best time "onboard" a spaceship

What did you like most about The Lost Starship?

Love the journeys that Audible takes me on and what better way than on a spaceship. The Lost Starship was an awesome story and glad I picked it up. Look forward to listening to the remaining 4 books in this volume.

Worst Scottish accent ever

Fotunately the Scottish accent was so bad, I could imagine that it was eastern European, so, with a bit of an adjustment, I was able to enjoy the story.
