The Lost Battleship

Lost Starship Series, Book 24

By: Vaughn Heppner

Narrated by: Mark Boyett

The effort almost killed him, but Maddox temporarily closed the breach to an alien dimension, one where genetic supermen rule humanity as gods.

The trouble is the master race’s Ninth Assault Fleet is still inside Commonwealth space—and destroying worlds with hellburner missiles.

Without the hyper-spatial tubes of the smashed Nexuses, the Grand Fleet can’t jump straight to battle. To win, Star Watch must relearn maneuver warfare across light-years against super soldiers bred for war.

Lord High Admiral Haig commands the fleet—but Captain Maddox has the plan that might save them all, if he can make anyone listen. Politics, assassins, and Directive 87 threaten to shatter Star Watch just when humanity needs unity most.

THE LOST BATTLESHIP is the 24th book in the Lost Starship series, a star-spanning saga of deadly space war by millions-selling author Vaughn Heppner.

The structure of the story

I liked how well the story built a framework from seemingly minor actions into major issues, I liked the structure of a great introduction that added small items from the previous book, the body that keeps you engaged and entertained and the conclusion that has surprise after surprise. I loved the presentation by the most outstanding Mr Mark Boyette. Overall a masterpiece and one step in this most brilliant series.

Family

I have listened to the complete story of Maddox and find myself hungry for more and more. The series never seems to run out of hurdles that Maddox and his crew(family) must over come, enemies to outsmart and defeat and constantly superiors to convince that he knows what to do.

More to come....

Looking forward to the next book in this series. The characters are rich and the story line is awesome!

Captain Maddox comes through again

Great story Love this series keep them coming can't wait for the next chapter in this series

Heppner & Boyette are the best duo in the business!

I honestly think Lost Starship is the best Sifi series on audible, and I’ve heard them all. Great series development, twists and turns every which way. If Heppner writes 100 books I will still be here.
