À propos de cet audio
Abandon ship, or go down in a blaze of glory.
Commander Predaxes, former Marine in the Lazaab military, has been recommissioned to Prison Station 12, known colloquially as Purgatory. On the outskirts of the Centridium, PS12 relies solely on a wormhole for contact with the government—not to mention supplies. His newest inmate, Samea Malik, is more than a bit of trouble.
Son to the Minister of Justice, Malik is the target of both assassination and recovery. When the station is attacked and chaos rains down upon them all, those onboard must abandon their posts for the closest habitable planet, Faebos. With what little planning they could do, Predaxes and crew discover an old, defunct mining colony and quickly discover why the project was deserted.
Faebos is home to violent and nasty creatures, but also great beauty. Survival will mean cooperation between PS12’s captives and captors. But will it be enough? Faced with hardship no one expected, needing to tap into old skills and new, Predaxes and Malik find themselves in their own form of Purgatory.
Rogue Stars is a brand new military space opera series by #1 Audible and Washington Post bestseller Jaime Castle, creator of the Black Badge series. Perfect for fans of David Weber, Larry Correia, JN Chaney, and Rick Partlow.

Most of the ideas here have been worked before, but Castle is pretty good at it. The military tech is imaginative, the action is very well-choreographed, and the chief protagonists (Ex-Space Marine/warden "Commander Predaxes" and Ex-Space Marine/prisoner "Samea Malik") are interesting. The author relies too much on tropes and peripheral characters are cookie-cutter.. but I enjoyed the book.
On the less fortunate side, the narration is "adequate" overall. Both James Patrick Cronin and Marc Thompson are technically flawless readers - and Recorded Books Inc. sound engineers provide exemplary technical support - but inconsistent character interpretations plague the audiobook (truly inspired android/AI character portrayals are overwhelmed by over-the-top growly veteran soldiers and cartoonish - frankly silly - accents for alien allies).
Altogether, I give 'Purgatory' - Book One in the 'Rogue Stars' Series - 8 stars out of 10. If you're looking for some admittedly formulaic Space-Marine action, this book is a fun roller-coaster ride. As a 'Plus' option, it was a satisfying investment of time, but better options beckon if they ask for a Credit.
Enjoyable Military SciFi
