About this listen

An explorer tug captain, Alex Racine detects a damaged alien craft drifting into the system. Recognizing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make first contact, Alex pulls off a daring maneuver to latch on to the derelict. Alex discovers the ship was attacked by an unknown craft, the first of its kind ever encountered. The mysterious silver ship's attack was both instant and deadly.

What enfolds is a story of the descendants of two Earth colony ships, with very different histories, meeting 700 years after their founding and uniting to defend humanity from the silver ships.

Has a feel of the old style sci-fi, the better ones. It has the feel of an introduction to the real story; the action is only just starting sort of thing. Definitely worth the listen, and I'm going to start on the next in the series now.

Where does The Silver Ships rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I rate this book at about the 70% level in my Sci-Fi Library books.

What other book might you compare The Silver Ships to, and why?

This book is simlar to Ryk Browns Frontiers Saga, finding another civilization that is more advanced than the main charactors home world.

Have you listened to any of Grover Gardner’s other performances? How does this one compare?

No not at the moment but I'm willing to give him a fair crack of the whip!!

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

No, but I listen to my books on the way to work and when walking my Golden Labrador.

Any additional comments?

The title is unrelated, but this is a good start for a series focusing less on the unfortunate side of humanity and more on what is good or better. And there maybe little green men in the future. A good read that only life interventions caused me to put down ... occasionally.
