A review by fineplan
Off Armageddon Reef by David Weber

4.0

I enjoyed this audiobook a lot and perhaps it not being five star for me is the product of two things that aren't the book's fault at all. The first is that it was rather complicated to listen to, rather than read -- especially as many names sounded kind of the same. The second is that sometimes I don't really read much of a book's description before reading it. So many of them hint at enough that it spoils surprises in the plot. Because of thus, I was super excited by the prologue and the story of humanity's last stand. Then it turns out... Nope, none of that is going to be resolved any time soon. It's a very different story and a quick peek at the summary of book nine doesn't indicate the story I was most interested by is coming soon.

Despite my thwarted expectations, the story is quite fascinating and I can think of tons of people I would recommend the book to. For me, I may go on to book two eventually, but I'm going to have to read instead of listen to it.
