I picked up Battleship Leviathan, book #1 in the series of the same name, written by Craig Martelle, and narrated by Shawn Compton on sale as part of an Audible daily deal. I really enjoy military SCIFI and space operas and there were some really good concepts in the book, but overall, I found it lacking.
First, the author provides literally no worldbuilding, but simply drops the reader into the story. There are some interesting characters, and a lot of action, but I did not find that I was given much insight into any of the main characters, other than their exterior one-dimensional personas. There were some fun parts, but while I am very familiar with military banter, I found some of it a bit adolescent. Overall if found the book to be a disappointment.
If I ever find audiobooks in the series at the library, might consider listening, to find out where the story goes, but I definitely will not buy them.
