great story but way too short for a full credit!

why not make 1 and 2 one book? too rich for my blood. too bad too because I love the story

really good.

this was overall a good entry in the series. good amount of action and moves the overall story forward. overall all the characters are interesting. this author is doing a good job with giving the some depth.

Good but need to be longer

The story is enjoyable, but is really short. Seemed to be over before it really began.

Absolutely a Stunner!

There's not been very many times in my reading history that a book so surprises me that it takes me a good minute to ratchet my jaw back closed but Rings of Haven did it! From the moment I started the book, I became transfixed and never came back to daily life until the ending had demoed me to reality. It was non stop action with everything! The home planet had a new ship with abilities to guarantee wins over old enemies and with new enemies . They would do anything to capture their ship; crazy pilots; agents sub rosa; tyrants who believe they're God; a bare bones crew with amazing abilities that were stepping up in every conceivable way; and don't forget: the green eyed fem fatale who dispassionately does whatever is necessary to keep the revolutionaries ahead, even murder! Get the book! Don't pass up on an adventure out in the universe!

For Star Trek fans

I am not a Star Trek fan, never really liked its style. I have listened to the first two books of the Frontiers Saga and find them about as exciting as a Star Trek episode, that is not at all. It’s not bad at all, just dull.

Second in the Series, Just as Good!

After enjoying the first book in this series, I immediately purchased the second knowing there were a total of 13 additional books waiting to be enjoyed if the writing and narration continued within the high bar set in the first book. I am pleased to say the story and narration have grown beyond the first book and give me confidence in the rest of the series. While admittedly a bit short at just under 6 hours, this book is well worth your time as there is as much action filled within this 6 hours as other books take 10 hours to present.

I haven't enjoyed a series like this since reading The Lost Fleet and look forward to continuing the story with the rest of the series.

Very Compelling!

If you could sum up The Rings of Haven in three words, what would they be?

Getting Home Saga

Who was your favorite character and why?

Captain Nathan Scott

What about Jeffrey Kafer’s performance did you like?

I must say his style takes a little getting used it!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was just so entirely good that I just kept on listening and listening!

Any additional comments?

Once you start listening to this Saga, you won't be able to put it down!

Started out very slow and boring but ended up ok

it was bit predictable and boring and was very short for having to waste a credit on it but it did make me get the 3rd book which is rare

Excellent Sci-fi!

Great story
Great narration

Now I
need to figure out the next book!
Looking to be a splendid series!

Good, but lacking

While still a good read, Haven lacked the intrigue, excitement, and pace of Aurora. Everything is a struggle for survival and after a while you become some what bored with the experience. The book also becomes slightly predictable. I would still recommend this book though as certain parts are integral in the rest of the series.
