A review by andimontgomery
Warship by Joshua Dalzelle
4.0
Warship is the first book in the Black Fleet trilogy, a military sci-fi space opera featuring an out-of-favor captain, an aging battleship scheduled for decommissioning, and a mostly ragtag crew that end up getting involved in an alien war.
Captain Jackson Wolfe is assigned a new second-in-command, Celesta Wright on the ship’s last mission to drop off a politician on a distant colony. Once they arrive, they discover that the entire colony has been wiped out.
What follows is an unexpected and fast-paced investigation and alien battle. The strongest characters were at the forefront of the story. Captain Jackson Wolfe is a savvy and decisive leader, Commander Celesta Wright is an unexpectedly capable first officer, and Chief Engineer Singh is a competent and knowledgeable engineer overseeing the ship’s mechanics.
I really enjoyed this one, although there were a few minor issues. For example, Celesta was told that the Captain was a buffoon and had no respect from his crew, but it was obvious he was liked and respected by most of the staff. There were a few scenes reminiscent of Star Trek. However, Warship was still a fast-paced and enjoyable ride. The audiobook narrator also did a fantastic job.
Fans of Michael Mammay should enjoy this one. I’ll definitely continue this series.
