Story
The Catherine Kimbridge Chronicles is a pure science fiction series following the adventures of a future "Horatio Hornblower"-style character called "Admiral 'Cat' Catherine Kimbridge" ...It's a sci-fi adventure series that is chock-full of real-world cutting edge science ranging from VASMR drives powered by liquid fluorine thorium reactors to entangled quantum communications.

Story
Did you ever wake up wondering where you were…and perhaps equally important, how you got there? Yeah, me too. The only the thing is, it usually happens when I've been drinking…and I'd been dry for the better part of two years. I'm Commodore Jeremy David Riker…my friends call me JD or just plain “Dog.” I have the dubious honor of running a starship boneyard in the middle of nowhere.

Chase Weston never would have thought that being the bodyguard for an archaeologist could be so dangerous - even this archaeologist digging for the remains of an alien civilization on another planet. But everyone wants what Dr. Angel Cortez has found. Because beneath the dirt and stone, an ancient mystery lies, a secret history, and a warning of an implacable alien enemy. And if the warnings are true, then corporate mercenaries and Sea Dragon commandoes are the least of Chase’s worries.

Story
Quicker is a near-future SciFi/Thriller whose young heroine, Ell Donsaii, is an intrepid athletic phenom who reminds one of David Weber's Honor Harrington. Like Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Ell is also a mathematical genius who, instead of counting sheep, works on her own theory of quantum mechanics to help her drift off to sleep. At once shy and concerned about her social skills, yet well loved by those around her, she finds herself at the center of a terrorist plot at the Olympics.

Story
Imperial Intelligence couldn't find them, the Imperial Fleet couldn't catch them, and local defenses couldn't stop them. It seemed the planet-wrecking pirates were invincible. But they made a big mistake when they raided ex-commando leader Alicia DeVries' quiet home/work, tortured and murdered her family, and then left her for dead. Alicia decided to turn "pirate" herself, and stole a cutting-edge AI ship from the empire to start her vendetta. Her fellow veterans think she's gone crazy, the Imperial Fleet has shoot-on-sight orders. And, of course, the pirates want her dead, too.

Six Stars

Publisher's Summary
2067 was the year I died for the first time. It was painful. Had I known how often I'd be expected to die over the next several millennia, I might have made a stronger effort to stay dead. The year actually started off rather nice. I finished my PhD in high energy physics and was promoted to lieutenant commander in the United States Air Force. My first posting after the promotion was to the Lunar One Air Base where I worked with my father, Dr. Robert Kimbridge, on "The Project". "The Project" was our name for a VASIMR Ion Drive interplanetary space craft that used thorium LFTR reactors for both shielding and power. Capable of a sustained point-one G of acceleration, our prototype was expected to make the Mars run in less than a week. By the end of November the ESX Arizona was ready for her first trial runs and I was her pilot. History has an odd way of repeating itself.
Uncounted millennia ago the uncreated Creator reached forth a hand and touched a series of disparate universes. The touch set in motion ripples that created life in the Creator's image...a life that was self-aware...a life that aspired to be more than it was...a life that sought to create in its own right. Love and fear walked hand in hand. Thus the stage was set for an epic conflict that would span the universes. These are the adventures of one brave soul and her quest to protect all life. These are the Catherine Kimbridge Chronicles.

A Welcomed and enjoyable experience
In a sea of sci fi settings that often focus on the technological, this one is a refreshing change by retaining the spiritual side of humanity. It isn't the central focus of the plot, just a part of the setting where so many others treat the subject with extremes at both ends of the acceptance/rejection spectrum. The story itself was entertaining and engaging, from a strong female lead to a wonderful supporting cast, Ken and Ben, both the AI and the character who adopts the name later in the story, are my favorite. I would go into reasons why, but listing them would head into spoiler country. There is tech for those who like to geek out over it, like me, action, with vast battles in space, meeting strange new civilizations, touching on the different types of alien life forms (not just the suits or prosthetics added types), the 'risk all' taking chances to win, and not just a fight, but winning over that new life and new civilizations. It also wraps up the plot nicely by the end, while at the same time leaving open other stories that could be told in this wonderful setting with the character who informally is called Cat. Alexis does a wonderful job reading this story, the inclusions of accents were well done, enough so I wish some minor characters with specific ones were around longer in the story just to hear more. For some characters the voice used for them were so distinctive, I knew immediately who was talking without the 'he said' or 'she said' that names the speaker. All in all, a wonderful experience that I shall definitely repeat listening to this first chronicle of Catherine Kimbridge.

The Audiobook was pretty much what you would expect from Space Opera. Not amazing, but nice to listen to while working. The Narration was good, and my only complaint would be that the voice of the AI's was a little low compared to the other voices. Good read.

GREAT/AWESOME book. BAD narrator.
My only complaint is the narrator and how certain words were pronounced. Take Admiralty its pronounced as "Admiral" then add "TY" to the end. not admiralality. Dont know why that got to me so much but it did. That in turn made me focus more on the narrator and less on the book. Still a great book just ask the narrator to do a better job.
