Summary

Get the Flight of the Javelin box set, featuring all three books in the Amazon best-selling series. Space opera action perfect for fans of Jay Allan, Jennifer Foehner Wells, and JN Chaney.

Fifteen years into a 20-year voyage, war veteran Captain Throttle Reyne is looking forward to taking a break from dealing with malfunctions, glitches, and the hassles of monitoring a thousand colonists in cryo-sleep.

But when her colony ship breaks down in the middle of nowhere, Throttle and her crew must leave the colonists behind to search for help. They find a ship that's not only missing a crew...it's clearly not from their star system.

It's the discovery of a lifetime. All they need to do is tow the mysterious vessel back to their colony ship for further study, and Throttle won't ever have to work again. One problem. While they're away, the colony ship is stolen - with the colonists still on board.

Throttle gives chase to a lawless star system on the outer rim. To get their colonists back, they must take on the pirates and ganglords who will do anything - and sell anyone - to make a buck.

They play dirty. But Throttle and her crew play dirtier.

Don't miss your chance to experience this space opera thrill ride in this special edition omnibus. Fast-paced, action-packed, and full of unforgettable characters both human and alien.

Books included in the set:
Book One: Black Sheep
Book Two: Free Station
Book Three: Rogue Planet

Simple but flowing space story

The performance I gave 5 to as it is generally fine, I only give less on the whole if it really grates with me, this did not and sometimes it is very much a personal preference.
The story if fairly straight forward but engaging, it flows well and draws you along, it is not majorly original if you listen to a good amount of SciFi but that is no bad thing. It is futuristic but not fantastical science and that is a part of it which I like life in the deep dark is still a struggle. Care relationships and characters are generally good and you can relate to them. The salvage, revenge aspects are straight forward and it does feel like you are getting an insight to the daily life of the characters which I liked. Overall I did enjoy it and would say it is worth a listen. Once I have gotten through my backlog of titles I would be happy to consider another book from this author.

Excellent work, well thought out story

Enjoyed the work, characters and narration. All up to good standards.
The story carries you along, and the characters have enough depth to make investment in their efforts worthwhile.
Emily Woo Zeller performs the tale well, making subtle changes when required for character or storyline.
A space opera about the discovery of an AI ship with a history, by a group of characters striving to do the right thing, but willing to cut corners to do it.
The author isn't afraid to dispose of characters, but even those not involved in the main narrative get a good development.
The story develops across the 3 books shifting with the main protagonists in good style.
Well worth a read.

The three books where well read by the actor

I like the space of the three books and the way the actor created the characters was well thought out. I look forward to hearing book 4

More to come?

Although this says it is a complete series books 1-3 the last book leaves you wondering if there will be another book, if not it was left with a lot of unanswered questions. I did enjoy the series and the narrator was quite good. This is a typical space story, captain - ship - crew and battles along the way. Plus 3 books for 1 credit is a bargain.

Great book

I enjoyed listening to the book. It felt like I was in Emily's own room because I could hear a clock in the background while I was listening to the story

really enjoyed this one

good story with strong female lead. Although it's a series each book could stand alone - no cliff hangers though each book does set the next one up. Loved the narrator!

Unfinished Story

This story starts off well and by the end of book three is getting really good, unfortunately it then ends with the story unfinished.
