About this listen
Nate and his video gamer friends are given the chance of a lifetime, a six-month tour aboard the Alliance’s newest battleship, ANS Dreadnought. She’s the first in her class, and is the most powerful ship in the sector. Bigger and better protected than any ship before her, Dreadnought carries an arsenal of deadly weapons that can annihilate a small armada and can travel between the stars in a matter of days. There is no deadlier vessel in existence.
Two years at the Academy has tested Nate’s flying, combat, and technical skills to the limit. But nothing will come close to his greatest test. Captain Gaunt, one of the Alliance’s most decorated officers plans to use Dreadnought to start a war, one that will engulf the region and cost many lives. As Dreadnought rolls out her guns to engage the very people Nate calls his friends, he has to make a decision. Does he stand by and let war spread through the sector, or will he lead the cadets in a mutiny against a beloved hero of the Alliance?

Story5 out of 5 stars 167,167
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Simplistic
The narrator did a good job, but it took a while to get used to his fast pace. The story itself started slow, but got more interesting. I would classify this as a juvenile, with simplistic plot and characters. The parallels to present day politics were too obvious, as well as the author’s leanings. The main “bad” character summed up his philosophy as “Humanity First”.

OK
The book started slow but it picked up as it progressed. I kept thinking the author would bring something new or a twist that I did not see coming but unfortunetly not. This book for me is predictable, however, it is not a bad read and others might like it.

Total Dreadnought Recall!
If you could sum up Star Crusader: Dreadnought in three words, what would they be?
Cookie Cutter Story
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
They way they got to the ending was enjoyable enough but was basically predictable.
Which character – as performed by Andrew B. Wehrlen – was your favorite?
The narrator was the star of this production. The characters all sounded the same for the most part but his voice was splendid. I would definitely listen to him more and he does have a hint of range. The story sounded more like a diary of a cadet.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Crimson Tide in Space.
Any additional comments?

I did enjoy the story. Just found it to be typical. I did like the touch about virtual reality though. Just did not feel actionay enough.

Good space opera for a drive.
Would you listen to Star Crusader: Dreadnought again? Why?
I'm not sure I would listen to Star Crusader: Dreadnought a second time if I were reading the series. This is the type of series I collect and, when they are complete, I binge read it.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Star Crusader: Dreadnought?
The story flows smoothly from action to action after a slow start. The action subtly builds with out jilting revelations or twists. It is a very smooth read.
What does Andrew B. Wehrlen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Andrew B. Wehrlen does a yeoman’s job reading the book to us. I am a fan of his, and I know he does better. I believe the speed of the audio is a major contributing factor. My impression tis the playback was speeded up. I have never liked the machine gun feel of dialogue and storytelling at even 1.10 X normal. This performance feels like that.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The story reminds me of some of R. A. Heinlein’s juvenile works. That’s not to say the themes, war, death and betrayal, are particularly juvenile. The situations that precipitate the young cadets into making life and death decisions are pushing contrived. The characters are two dimensional, but lack of character development is almost a hallmark of YA fiction. The science is almost anachronistic for warships in the interstellar arena with barely a nod to AI.
With the negatives out of the way, the story itself addresses issues of race hatred and bigotry in a manner that does not browbeat the reader.

Nothing new
What disappointed you about Star Crusader: Dreadnought?
The book offers nothing new from sci-fi story perspective. The story here is pretty basic and juvenile. It follows a formula and doesn't deviate much. At no point did I feel wowed. Please note that there's nothing particularly "wrong" with the story. It's just - not exciting. I've read such stories numerous times and I could tell what would happened next with my eyes closed. The characters too were on-dimensional with clear good vs evil tropes.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Mostly bored and disappointed.
Any additional comments?
I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review.
