About this listen

Once every four years, the Earth Alliance Naval Academy is included in a war game...or rather, the Wargame: On a distant frontier colony, cadets must repair, recommission, and crew a fleet of old, mothballed warships for a simulated fleet action against a group of seasoned veterans using top-of-the-line warships.

After some meddling on the part of the Admiralty, many of the Academy's best are assigned to the oldest, smallest hulk in the Wargame, the unfortunately named corvette, Chihuahua. Thanks to a genius engineer, an Army veteran loaned to the Navy for the war game, and an unconventional captain, they make a new discovery which turns her into the most valuable warship in the fleet: the first ever Shieldclad warship.

The crew abruptly finds itself center stage in a real combat action, however, when Earth is attacked by an unknown foe, and a lone squadron of these once-mothballed ships is the Alliance's only hope to respond....

A well thought out book that covers all the bases.

This was an excellent listen. The characters are well developed. The action is consistent while not getting overblown.
I kept listening late in the evening, I couldn’t stop! When I review a book I don’t like I tend to point out inconsistencies and I’m very opinionated. Probably not a good thing. However I will encourage anyone who likes a great SCI FI, don’t hesitate to listen to this! Five stars to both the storyline and the narrator. I have a message to the Author. WHERES the next one in the series. We deserve it! This was so well written.
