Wish audible would have a special on this series

Would you consider the audio edition of Rise of the Corinari to be better than the print version?

Yes by far and even better then the text to speech version

Any additional comments?

I read all 9 books in the series and then listen to all 9 books with my son using text to speech. We both love this series... My son saw that this book had a special whispersync price of $2.99 since we already had the kindle version and bought the audible version. He told me that the audible version was a 100 times better than the text to speech version. These books are too short to waste our credits, too expensive to buy so we are hoping to get them during an audible special.

A page turner

I have enjoyed this series. I had chosen to read Ryk Brown’s books because he is a local author. Many years ago my mother suggests that I always attempt to read authors from our area. I have done that over the years but now with e-books and the machine that our local book store has that prints books up while you wait more local people are writing, some good, some bad and some are great. For avid readers like me it’s exciting to have access to such an array of books. Ryk Brown is one of the self published Amazon e-book authors that has gone on to great success.

This is book five in the series. In the last book, Aurora arrived in Corinari in bad shape and the second in command, Cameron, needing a hospital. In this book the people of Corinari are helping to refit the Aurora and install newer more sophisticated technology.

I found it great to see how Brown has developed our key protagonist, Nathan Scott, from a rash know- it- all young man into a mature leader. Brown is also taking this time to develop the other members of the crew. It seems that Brown is using this book to develop the characters more and further flesh out the plot. While Aurora is being refitted the crew is helping in the defense of Corinari. It appears that Nathan and Corinari are forming a new alliance of planets in the Darvano system to rebel against the Ta’Akar. Toward the end of the book the Aurora’s repairs are completed and for the first time she has a complete crew with volunteers from Corinari and allied planets. Aurora and new crew is test when two Ta’Akar warships arrive it system and battle begins. Brown writes good space battle scenes and seems to improve with each book.

Needless to say the book is well written and moves at a good pace. The suspense keeps building and the reader knows that a big fight with the Ta’Akar is coming. Jeffrey Kafer does a good job narrating this series. Kafer is a voice over artist and a 2015 Audie Award finalist for audiobook narration.

Continuing saga-keeping me reading!

Would you listen to Rise of the Corinari again? Why?

Yes, definitely. I am already reading the next in the series.

What other book might you compare Rise of the Corinari to and why?

The Slaver War series is similiar and also very exciting.

Any additional comments?

A method of incorporating a few illustrations showing the ship and it's layout would help in visualizing what the author is verbalizing would be helpful.
The narration is excellent.

continuing saga of decent space opera

continuing story. still feel the first couple of books could have easily been combined 1&2, 3&4 would have kept pace better. still good enough to continue to see what happens next.

Nice story!!

Only complaint is the plot twist we could all see from miles away :) The various characters are what drew me into this story and its what continues to keep me interested. They have all grown up in a very short time. I cant wait for the next book as it seems to me that will be even more interesting to see how they handle coming home and what they find and the reaction to what they have done.

Building to Something Great!

This book stands on it's own well and is a necessary building block to a final showdown with the baddies in the series. Be prepared to pick up the next in the series to see this final showdown in action. If you've gotten this far in the series, you know you're hooked anyways.

Really is is more a 2.5 star

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Still had me wanting to spend a credit on the next book to see what happens but at the beginning there is a 10 min story line on training a guy to fly a fake spaceship and the supposed real world physics. This coming from a series that has FTL and jump drives but they can't figure out that it might be a good idea to add seat restraints on the Aurora so people don't fall out of the chairs or hit their heads in a console during a battle

Has Rise of the Corinari turned you off from other books in this genre?

No but that might be because I have OCD and I want to see if this "Captain" gets back to earth and gets a court martial

How did the narrator detract from the book?

the voices are all the same except for the russian

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

blah

worthless woke scum.

book started out good, but this bull sh*t woke agenda is getting real annoying.. I'll try one more book and if this stinking author doesn't stop making the captain out to be a worthless fa***t and at least kill off the worthless feminist bi**h xo then I'm out.
