if you’re looking for a story with aliens, space battles, romance, convoluted entanglements of characters. this is not the book for you. that being said it is one of the most enjoyable books that I’ve ever listened to. I can’t give you a reason why. it’s fairly mundane, it encompasses a man’s life through getting on a freighter and working his way up through the lower ranks. like I said there’s no action romance convoluted flips of stories or hard sci-fi this is strictly a story of a man in a career working his way up through the ranks. I guess the only bad thing or issue with this book is that he is a little self-righteous he is friendly hard-working good friends no conflicts and has a smooth yet overly goody-goody career. that being said well written well narrated and even though nothing spectacular happens through this book it is intriguing and is a book that you will list to from the first to the last page.
