Though he relied on archetypes for some of the minor characters (e.g. I had absolutely no problem following the action, even though I listened to the entirety of the story while working. At least in Warship, Dalzelle's style was remarkably lucid. I haven't read anything from the Omega Rising series, and this was my first exposure to Joshua Dalzelle. I honestly was a bit hesitant to believe all of the reviews, as I had never seen so much glowing for the first book in a series. All of the other reviews have pretty much said all there was to be said, and I echo their words. Boyett has definitely become my favorite military scifi/space opera narrator, and with Warship, he once again gives a performance that is nothing less than stellar. Yet, somehow he still can make me believe that I'm in a completely different universe with a whole different set of characters, all of them with unique nuances. After listening to every Star Force, Undying Mercenaries, and Troy Rising audiobook with other standalone novels he performed, I feel like I've heard the full spectrum of Boyett's voices a dozen times over. I was initially drawn to this book because I was looking for other Mark Boyett performances. A compelling and satisfying underdog space opera
