Acerca de esta escucha
Not long ago, the starship Freedom was a museum ship. A relic of a bygone era. A rusty old warship converted into a tourist trap.
Then the aliens attacked. Now, once more, the legendary Freedom flies to war.
The war is brutal. The enemy is merciless. The rahs, vicious arachnids from deep space, crave only one thing. Human flesh. Before this terror, Earth’s fleet crumbles. Starships burn. Millions die. But the Freedom still flies. James King, her gruff old commander, still fights.
The Freedom will never surrender. The Freedom will never flee. The long, cold night has come to Earth, but the Freedom shines bright. The survivors of the fleet rally behind her. All brave souls heed her call. The Freedom sounds the cry of Earth: We will win!

Historia
The starship Freedom was once a mighty warship. Today, she's a tourist attraction. The space wars ended long ago. The Freedom is now a flying museum; the tourists love it. The Changing of the Guard, the starfighter aerobatics, the starboard cannon salute...it's the best show in the galaxy. James King commands the starship Freedom. He hates his job. He was a real soldier once, back when the Freedom was a real warship. He never imagined himself running a tourist trap. Right after Christmas, he plans to retire. Then, on Christmas day, the aliens attack.

Historia
Out of the blue, a young Space Fleet officer's dream becomes reality: He's made captain of a starship. Just in time for the return of humanity's most terrible enemy, after 50 years of peace. To survive against this enemy, Captain Tad Thatcher will have to do more than learn how to become an effective commander, or how to wrangle his wayward crew. He will need to reinvent space combat. From scratch.

Historia
We hide in shadows. Our planet is lost. We are the last humans, and we must go home. Two thousand years ago, aliens destroyed Earth. Our fleets shattered. Billions died. The last humans fled a burning planet, heading to the stars. Today we are still refugees. Hungry. Afraid. Our enemies hunt us everywhere. So we hide. On distant asteroids. In rundown space stations. In deep caves on frozen worlds. And we dream. Of green hills. Blue skies. Golden fields. We dream of Earth. And for the first time, we have hope.

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

Historia
In the 20th century Earth sent probes, transmissions, and welcoming messages to the stars. Unfortunately, someone noticed. The Galactics arrived with their battle fleet in 2052. Rather than being exterminated under a barrage of hell-burners, Earth joined their vast Empire. Swearing allegiance to our distant alien overlords wasn't the only requirement for survival. We also had to have something of value to trade, something that neighboring planets would pay their hard-earned credits to buy. As most of the local worlds were too civilized to have a proper army, the only valuable service Earth could provide came in the form of soldiers....

Years after clean energy ended the world’s reliance on fossil fuels, a lull of peace encompasses all of humanity. Some think we should travel to the distant corners of the galaxy; others oppose the idea, thinking that the harnessed singularity reactors are unnatural.

Years later, Lieutenant Commander Kyle Torres comes face to face with old friends, as he’s thrown into an assignment that could change everything.

This was the mission where it all began. Two centuries before the Fall of the Benevolence. A simple covert mission to spy on the Krixis, a telepathic alien race, turns into a desperate bid to save mankind when Silky and Eyana uncover a plot to use a secret super-weapon. But the weapon, a lost piece of ancient technology, holds secrets that neither side expected.

What a great god damn book
These books are like if the 80’s had a space baby with Startship Troopers.
It’s somewhat corny but is able to grab you and make you care about almost every character and even the ship.
Quite amazing

Becoming Sicence Fantasy
The first was a half way decent sci-fi Alien Invasion story.
How did this happen? The aliens now can teleport, survive in vacuum, drug environmental protected soldiers(but only men). The aliens seem to have become fantasy vilians instead of cruel hunters.
The darkland two paths chapter was the BIGGEST load of cringe I have ever heard, I noticed a few massive plot holes as well.
This book needs major rewrites to fix the glaring problems.

The Cost of Freedom
I like theunderlying story, but the bombastic style of the “everything for freedom”, it can be a bit over-the-top for a modern far future story. I do appreciate the references to Nebraska though, it brings it home I suppose.

In my mind I hear Adama from the original Battlestar Galactica whenever King speaks. A hard bitten, hard fighting, never say die character. The rest don’t disappoint either.

Disappointing
As I commented in my review of the first book, the author's constant use of "hallucination" to describe the deliberate mind vids or illusions really bugs me. Hallucinations are unbidden and a result of drug use. The word doesn't fit the characters' conditions. With respect to the story, it veers away from sci-fi into fantasy which isn't my genre.

The cost of freedom
We explode into motion as the rahs fleet continues to pound the Freedom and her allies. James King and company are back for round two against humanities sinister enemy. Masterfully narrated, and well written The Cost of Freedom is an engaging fun listen. If Battestar Galactica meets Aliens sounds like fun do I have the book for you.

This series could be Awesome
The first two books were waaaay too wordy. They could also benefit with some plausible science. Having said that the story is good and the narrator is really good.
