By: Rick Griffin

Narrated by: Piers Ryman

The best-laid plans of geroo and ringel often go awry. Nobody knows that as well as the crew of the White Flower II, the geroo ship whose captain still bears the literal scars of his last failure. Despite their best efforts, his ship and its crew still languish in slavery to the cruel krakun. But when a new opportunity for freedom presents itself, will the geroo be able to pull off an even more daring escape plan - right under the nose of a krakun overseer? The Captain's Oath is the second installment of The Final Days of the White Flower II Trilogy by multi-award-winning artist and writer, Rick Griffin. This science fiction epic continues the exciting story of struggle against oppression that began in Traitors, Thieves, and Liars.

The contining story of the White Flower

I was provided this review copy free of charge by my request and provided this review free of charge. This the second book in the author's expansion with many additional details that enrich and provide many more details of ship board life on White Flower a multi-generational ship. I look forward to the book in the series

Wonderful sequel in a great sci-fi

Fantastic sci-fi both familiar and alien in great balance. I love how the characters have proper facets and flaws that play into who they are in the best ways. I look forward the next one with open excitement!

This one hurts

This one was harder to read because I have some trauma that is partially related to an alcoholic parent and trauma experience when young. So this one I felt personally.

This is when the series really takes itself seriously. we have a very real mother dealing with trauma and alcoholism now having to deal with a conspiracy that may set them all free or get them killed. the heaviness and the realness of the characters hits hard in this book. Upon finishing, I am desperate to finish this trilogy once and for all.

My only warning to other readers that there is a pretty graphic and horrifying part near the end. Rick Griffin unknowingly has a fantastic hand at wwriting thriller and high stress scenarios. the moment was fantastic but wow the horror of that scene lives rent free in my head...

in a good way, mind.

Amazing!

A fantastic adventure with plenty of heart, this second book is even more gripping than the first. Heartwarming characters who struggle in their quest to be free make this series a joy to listen to! I can't wait for book 3!

a tightrope between your dispair and danger

I enjoyed listening to this series. it kept me at the edge of my seat. The characters are made with care and the author really runs them through the ringer. The performance is excellent, the characters' voices distinct without being overworked. The pacing is good, and there are spots that riled my emotions while listening.
