À propos de cet audio

Some starship captains explore strange new worlds, seeking out new life and new civilizations. Some lead missions of discovery through wormholes to the other side of the galaxy. Then there's Captain Iridius B. Franklin, someone who spent too long seeking out strange new bars and new alien cocktails.

After graduating bottom of his class at Space Command Academy, Iridius Franklin hasn't had the glamorous career he envisioned - instead he hauls cargo ships full of mining waste, alien land whale dung, and artificially intelligent toy dogs across the stars.

Iridius does have talent, though - he is exceptionally good at breaking starships. So, when not hauling freight, he is captain of a shakedown crew, a skeleton crew used to test newly constructed ships for faults before the real crew takes over.

While on a routine shakedown mission aboard the FSC Gallaway, soon to be pride of the Federation Fleet, Earth is attacked by an unknown alien life-form. With the galaxy in chaos, Captain Iridius B. Franklin finds himself, unqualified, understaffed, and completely unprepared, in command of the most advanced starship in the galaxy.

Now, he just needs to not break it.

fun story. Silly main character. Unrealistic goofball chaotic scenarios. Stereotypical characters. Which makes it perfect. You can’t take this book seriously. It’s a misfit light comedy hero story. Just sit back and enjoy it.

I did get distracted puzzling out what it means to “stop” in space. What are you stopping in relation to? The sun? The earth? A specific planet? The closest sun? Galactic center? Does zero momentum actually exist? And how much different is it than the average speed of planets and how do you determine it. It doesn’t affect the story, I just got curious.

Oh, and how the narator says “ensign” bugs me, otherwise good job.

I’m not usually into the science part of Sci-fi and even though this one had a fair bit of that, it didn’t detract from the story for me. It was still easy to follow and had good flow. I feel that the characters could have been more well rounded - they seemed a bit one dimensional. Even the main character.

Not bad

The MC is stupid and smart. He is a man who can use creative, intelligent tactics but has a level of insane stupidity and ego that expresses itself in easily preventable self genocide and a complete lack of responsibility.

Smart or Stupid?
