Historia
For generations, we colonized worlds, and the human race spread throughout the galaxy. One discovery could end it all. They called the ship Lady Vengence, and her Captain, Gavin Andal, was young, a bit arrogant, and the perfect fit for a bunch of misfits more interested in shore leave than work. Nobody was interested in being a hero. Sometimes there's no choice.

Historia
Ben Dailey's Viper Company has one motto: Play hard and fight even harder. The crew is comprised of some of the most elite fighters in the Fleet, though occasionally overconfident and, some might say, obnoxious. So when Dailey is handed down a mysterious, high-security mission that's ostensibly a search-and-rescue for his once-upon-a-time academy rival turned brother in arms, he's convinced there's more to the job than meets the eye. Soon, the USF Murphy is on its way to the edge of the Void to track down what happened to Capt. Rick Bearing and the Asher-5.

Captain Konrad Bradley commands the decommissioned battleship Oberon, the last remaining Titan of the fleet. Mocked as a flying museum-too expensive, too cumbersome, too old-Bradley and his crew of outcasts from a long-vanished colony lead a dull life on the farthest edge of human hegemony. Bradley's hope to go quietly into the night ends with the arrival of the legendary Strike Group 2 and the delivery of a secret so great it could end the war. That's why Lagunia was chosen for its construction.

On the battlefields of the future, death is not the end for a soldier. The Revenant Program collects badly wounded soldiers broken by war and converts them into unthinking, unfeeling cyborg weapons. Their bodies are immune to pain, their minds impervious to fear and doubt. All controlled by a neural implant called the Imperative. They are the ideal force for any mission too deadly or too difficult for normal men. A force that answers to the darkest corners of the military.

Chase had it all planned out. Do a little time in one of the emperor's jails, say a four-year stretch, for getting rid of some trash that no one would miss, and when he got out, the path to leadership would be wide open. Unfortunately, his bastard of a father, the same one who left his mother to die in poverty and him to run wild on the streets, took an interest. Seeing him sitting on the bench when his case went to court was a shock. But not as big a shock as being sentenced to ten years in the Imperial Navy.

To make matters worse, there’s a murderer running loose on board the ship, critically low fuel levels, and the Grish are back, in fast pursuit and ready to finish what they’d started. Only by sheer luck - and a good measure of cagey smarts - will Quintos be able to rise to the challenge.

But one fateful night off the coast of South Africa, a ship nearly crashes into him and his loyal golden retriever, Jacques. Not just any ship. A starship. Though its alien pilot is dead, the rare extraterrestrial animal inside is not. Fin learns the creature is being smuggled across the galaxy when a pair of interstellar visitors respond to the crash. But those same investigators accuse Fin and his dog of crimes he didn’t even know existed.

Resumen del Editor
Humanity is on the brink.
Piloting drone fighters from inside the fleet's most durable ships, drone pilots wage space battles thousands of kilometers away. Their success is unparalleled, and for years, they have held the invading Baranyk at bay. But when the alien enemy develops a new weapon that renders the fleet's drone fighters inoperable, humanity is on the verge of destruction.
Callan "Coda" O'Neil joined the Terran Fleet Academy with dreams of becoming a prestigious drone pilot and restoring honor to his disgraced family. Fleet Command, however, has other ideas.
To counter the alien weapon, Commander Chadwick Coleman, a legendary pilot from the early days of the Baranyk War, is assembling an experimental new squadron that will place real pilots in the cockpit of real starfighters. And he wants Coda to be part of it.
With the enemy pressing in, and forced to train under impossible conditions, Coda and his fellow wingmen must learn to fly as one. Failure means the destruction of the human race.
And time is running out.
If you're a fan of Ender's Game, Old Man's War, and Starship Troopers, then Wings of Honor is for you. Strap in and start listening today!

Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Chase had it all planned out. Do a little time in one of the emperor's jails, say a four-year stretch, for getting rid of some trash that no one would miss, and when he got out, the path to leadership would be wide open. Unfortunately, his bastard of a father, the same one who left his mother to die in poverty and him to run wild on the streets, took an interest. Seeing him sitting on the bench when his case went to court was a shock. But not as big a shock as being sentenced to ten years in the Imperial Navy.

War often changes things...
Craig Andrews premiers his science fiction action space adventure “Wings of Honor” which is the first audiobook in “The Forgotten Fleet” series. I was rather excited to see that this initial title was narrated by Shamaan Casey, whose voice I have come to enjoy very much during my audiobook listening sessions. I could not think of a better fit for his voice. During the opening, this story reminded me of watching the original Battlestar Galactica series TV show, which is not a bad thing at all. There are large battle cruisers along with squadrons of smaller fighters providing protection to both it self and others. This tale is more a coming-of-age story which takes place in the deep reaches of a very unforgiving portion of space. There are hostile aliens and a continuous battle where you are always trying to limit the skirmishes and wounded. The non-aliens have created the ability to battle mainly using drones and are always able to keep the upper hand. This all changes when we see that the aliens have some new technology giving them the upper hand and making their opponents drone ships sitting ducks. Here we begin to see the tide of war shift. Now those who were previously the victors see that they are now on the run to survive. It is at this point the story gets interesting as a team of younger pilots needs to train in older ships (not drones) and find a way to surprise and defeat the enemy. This all make for an enjoyable listen, and I liked the story’s progression. If you also like coming-of-age space tales, I can recommend this one even though it is the author’s premiere work on Audible.
We learn rater quickly that this group of younger and inexperienced pilots will need to work as a team to complete their mission. However, we also begin to see cracks in this team due to personal agendas and direction. There are some that hold such strong convections that they do not care if the team succeeds or not. They will selfishly desire their own outcomes over others, no matter the cost. We see these young pilots grow and mature over time and even some begin to learn the life lesson that the world does not revolve around them and their desires. Instead, there is a greater goal which is needed to succeed and survive. To add in some dynamics and complexity, our main character carries with him a disadvantage of his father being a known wingman who abandoned his squadron, and lives were lost. Other characters also knew this and held grudges against him for these actions. Like with many coming-of-age stories, there is one person that comes alongside these cadets and is given the undeniable task of getting them ready for battle in actual fighters and the probability of success it near zero.
What I enjoyed was the scale of this story along with the characters having their own purposes and drive. We have someone that wants to right a suspected wrong against his father and family, another that is driven by competition, and others that have other goals. Yet, it is clear they will need to all come together and put their personal agendas aside in order to complete this nearly impossible task. I also found the use of older tech to overcome some of the limitation of the more high-tech drones a bit of a twist along the way. In some ways the story was a mix of Battlestar Galactica meets Top Gun if both had occurred in space. There is that cocky nature of the individuals, yet as a team they work much better as a single unit. Being able to humble oneself and learn from others with more experience is never an easy pill to swallow, yet in this story it is necessary. The author also wove in some humor as well as tragedy. This has an impact as one begins to like the many characters and when things go wrong, there is an emotional impact. Everyone quickly learns the lesson that during war, one’s perspectives are very different than in peace time. And, because of this, all those I the squad quickly mature and focuses on the main goal. If you were to ask me who my favorite character was, I think most would agree that Tex is the best.
Regarding the audiobook’s narration, I have enjoyed anything I have listed to by Shamaan Casey. His voice can become one that commands attention but also has both a smooth and soothing tone. It is a rare talent that only few narrators I have listened to have. The audio quality was top notch, and the character voicing was precise and consistent. If you are not a fan of space fiction, I would suggest nearly anything else he has narrated in a genre you prefer.
For parents and younger listeners, there are some sections containing slight sexual banter between some of the key characters, but I can say that this is not used frequently. There was also a time where the team partakes of alcohol, but other than these, I can say that there was little content that would be rated for mature audiences. I think the story could be enjoyed by all, as long as you are aware of these small situations.
In summary, this was a rather enjoyable action adventure taking place in the deep and unforgiving area of space. We can easily see the growth and maturity of these individuals, even if they have their own agendas. The narration was up there with some of the best I have listened to. I look forward to seeing where the story goes in future releases. Keep up the great work you two.

Action-Packed Space Opera
Legendary Commander Chadwick Coleman aims to assemble a team of skilled and talented pilots for piloting actual starfighters instead of unpiloted drones. To qualify for the exclusive and desirable mission, candidates must conquer their insecurities, emotional baggage, and past, as well as contend with some unfriendly competition. With luck, determination, and strong leadership, the team will come together in time to defeat the alien race from annihilating the human race.
The author, Craig Andrews, skillfully combines within this space opera a coming-of-age journey that encourages self-discovery with the importance of collaboration and growth. The pace of the storyline is deliberately slow to allow the listener to become fully immersed. The characters are richly developed, displaying depth and authenticity. The dialogue is authentic and keeps the story moving forward. Andrews carefully sets the pace of this narrative, fully immersing the listener despite its leisurely speed.
The narrator, Shamaan Casey, fully embraces the deliberate pace set by the author, staying true to the narrative’s rhythm. Casey embodies each character with a rich and fitting tone. Casey expertly conveys action and emotion through intonation. I enjoy performances by Shamaan Casey!
The author presents an action-packed space opera with real-life themes such as self-discovery, confidence, growth and more. Together, Andrews and Casey provide an entertaining and captivating experience.
There were no issues with the quality or production of this audiobook.

Top Gun in Space!
The plot was pretty easy and convenient, starting with Coda and his rival Moscow getting into yet another fight prior to their graduation from Fleet Academy. Coda’s dad was responsible for a dereliction of duty that killed a lot of people, and while this remains a mystery throughout the book, we learn that Moscow (the #2 pilot) is great at antagonizing the situation. Fists fly, but instead of failing out, an opportunity for top secret pilot training comes out of the blue at the last second.
Anyway, what we get is Coda and Moscow having to learn to tolerate each other to make top secret pilot training successful. There’s a lot of training in both simulation and in real ships while the new squadron gets a crash course in real piloting to beat a new weapon that has made the usual drones obsolete in the war effort. The good part is that Coda isn’t naturally spectacular, so I would call him “talented but needs training”. He has to put in extra work for his acceptance into the program and generally just do better – an enjoyable twist.
While we don’t actually get any information about what the aliens (the Baranyk) want or why we are even at war (a bummer for me), Andrews focuses on building Coda’s crew with hilarious characters like Squawks, Tex, Captain Coleman, Noodles, and a bunch of others that I enjoyed meeting.
Even with a predictable plot, there’s plenty of action and banter and character relationships to keep things moving. I liked Coda which helped a lot, since he was actually trying to improve and be the bigger person instead of being the insufferable version of the same trope. Even Moscow grew on me.
The tension and level of danger stays high throughout which I liked too. Andrews isn’t afraid to kill off a few side characters to keep things realistic although I’m pretty sure this is a YA book. The content is so low which can help enjoyment when one needs an easier read. It’s got a lot of good themes for teens like understanding your rivals, working together, being a good friend, and getting away from your parent’s shadow.
This is getting long so let’s talk about the audiobook:
It’s very rare that a narrator can equally keep me very engaged and put me to sleep, depending on the situation. Casey has a beautiful deep voice for the Commander and for Moscow, then pulls a ton of different tones and accents across a wide range of pilots and radio chatter for everyone else. They all sounded great. His voice is also soothing enough that when I’m trying to crash after work and want to listen for a half hour, I’m ready to drop off by the end. I gave the story 3 stars, but Casey gets a solid 5⭐ for the performance and definitely smoothed over any real issues I would have had! I’ll be checking out his backlist for sure
Overall
Despite my gripes, I enjoyed this one a lot and had already gotten the kindle ebook for the second book, Wings of Mourning, when I was offered a code for the audible! The name is ominous and I liked the characters enough to need to know what happens next!

Giving Me Top Gun Vibes (And I’m For It)
4.5 out of 5 stars
Discovering Wings of Honor, the first book in The Forgotten Fleet series was akin to unearthing a hidden treasure in the vast expanse of audiobooks. Initially, I admit I struggled with the slow pace, yearning for a more rapid narrative. However, as the story progressed, I realized the deliberate pacing was a masterstroke by Craig Andrews. It allowed me to immerse myself in the universe he created, gradually unveiling its complexities and nuances. Much like the proverbial frog in slowly boiling water, I found myself acclimating to the pace, only to be pleasantly surprised by its acceleration.
Andrews’ narrative is not merely a space opera but a profound exploration of character and self-discovery. The protagonist, Coda, embarks on a poignant journey of growth and introspection, grappling with his identity, past, and legacy. Through Andrews’ deft storytelling, Coda’s evolution feels organic and authentic, resonating with anyone who is navigating their own path of self-realization.
One of the standout aspects of Wings of Honor is its ability to deliver a satisfying narrative arc within the confines of a larger series. While the story concludes at a natural stopping point, it leaves enough narrative threads dangling to pique curiosity and anticipation for future installments. This balance is a testament to Andrews’ skill as a storyteller, offering a complete and fulfilling experience while laying the groundwork for what promises to be an epic saga.
Shamaan Casey’s narration is the crowning jewel of this audiobook, elevating an already engaging story to new heights. His delivery is pitch-perfect, perfectly capturing the essence of each character and scene.
