Resumen del Editor
The complete Torchship series in a single volume!
Torchship: A captain who’ll take any job if there’s enough money in it. A pilot with an agenda of her own. And a mechanic with an eye on the pilot. The crew of the Fives Full are just trying to make enough money to keep themselves in the black while avoiding the attention of a government so paranoid it’s repealed Moore’s Law. They’re not looking for adventure in the stars, but they’re not going to back down just because something got in their way.
Torchship Pilot: War is bad for business. The crew of the freighter Fives Full want to enjoy the profits of their dangerous voyage, but when war breaks out, they're pressed into service for missions a warship can't do. Winning the war demands pilot Michigan Long act ruthlessly...and may cost her her conscience and her marriage.
Torchship Captain: Michigan Long blackmailed her enemies into joining the war against the AIs. Now, the secret she used is leaking out, and the Fusion is shattering. Caught in the middle of a civil war, she will have to use any weapon that comes to hand - her wits, her ship, her mate.

Within the L, a tri-star system located inside the Aquilian Nebula, Jax makes a living trading and smuggling whatever goods pay the best. So far, he’s avoided being caught with anything too damning in his ship’s holds, but when he takes a job for Korinth, an infamous arms dealer, all that changes. The haul is worth 10 times his ship, and when the contents gets him embroiled in a tug of war between the major political factions of the L, Jax has to keep the criminals he works for from discovering that he’s playing both sides.

Historia
At a time when Humans were just starting to venture forth into the Galactic Union as mercenaries, Martin Quincy survived long enough to do something no one else had - he retired. There was only one problem: He got bored. After battling aliens for many years - killing aliens and getting paid - retirement didn’t suit him, and he decided to strap on the combat armor and go back to the stars. Along with his old friend Kal, Martin joined Cartwright’s Cavaliers, humanity’s best merc company. Life was exciting! But he got bored. Again.

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.

It has been over a year since the UnArcana Worlds of the Protectorate of the Mage-King of Mars seceded, shattering the unity of the human race. The new Republic of Faith and Reason has raised new banners in defiance of the power of the Protectorate's Mage aristocracy. Now, Hand Damien Montgomery commands a relief mission to a Republic world ravaged by famine. His humanitarian mission collides with a newborn military beginning to flex its muscles - and a newborn nation prepared to accept no violations of its sovereignty, regardless of their needs.

The galaxy was once terrorized by the Sturm, a group of “species purists” intent on destroying any human with genetic or cybernetic enhancements. Fashioning themselves as the one true “Human Republic,” the Sturm cut a bloody swath across the stars, killing billions before finally being defeated and driven into the far reaches of Dark Space. Centuries of peace bred complacency. Everyone believed the Sturm had died out in the Dark. They were wrong.

Great Story but Weak Narration
I very rarely listen to a book twice, and never before one that lasted 39 hours, but I enjoyed it both times through. The story is compelling and adheres to the laws of physics admirably. I was initially confused by the accelerations of manned ships at 10 or 20 G's until I realized that a "grav" in this series is 1/10 of a standard gravity (about 9.8 meters/second squared). The storyline is compelling and has enough twists and turns to hold the listener's attention firmly in place. If Robert Heinlein were alive today, this is the type of book he would have written. I really can't say enough good about the story.
The narration is a different issue. Laura Gallagher has the irritating habit of halting mid-sentence, as in "He opened.... the locker." The combination of her slow, simplistic narration, and mid-sentence halts, combined with her excessive inflections often presented for female voices was bad enough that when a friend or family member would overhear the narration, they would always ask me to turn it off because it was so irritating. I have three adult sons who enjoy a good space opera and would love this story but each of them upon hearing the narration, elected to not listen to the series.
