I mean, if the admiral is confused, how confused would we be? I’m aware that this puzzlement is purposeful since it’s a first person narrator, but having a confused narrator AND no setting is a quick and easy way to turn off a reader. We don’t know anything about this sci-fi world, and we are left to figure it out by ourselves, with almost no information to begin with. Although I could see that his style of writing would please me, because all descriptions were well-written and never took too much space, Danker just made us leap into the cauldron. I was as confused as the Admiral was, considering that, as it is stated in the summary, he wakes up to a strange situation. The beginning is just plain confusing and frustrating. In spite of how this review will start, I have to highlight the excitement I got from reading this book. It would be an alternate between flat parts and ascents, and then the end is a slight descent. The first 50 pages of the book are the first descent, and the rest of the book was… an infinite ascent? No, no. Reading the summary and getting excited to read it would be the first ascent. Reading the title could equate to me strapping myself to the seat. As it is often the case with roller coasters, I ended up with a smile and the happiness to have gone through it. I would like to thank NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for providing me with a copy of Admiral!Īs a whole, this science-fiction book was highly entertaining and suspenseful and fast-paced! It’s the kind of books that could be made into a movie! They are marooned on a strange world, their ship’s systems are failing one by one-and they are not alone.
Whether he is an Evagardian admiral or a spy will be of little consequence if the crew members all end up dead.
He wears no uniform, and he is ignorant of military protocol, but the ship’s records confirm he is their superior officer.
The label on his sleeper pad identifies him as an admiral of the Evagardian Empire-a surprise as much to him as to the three recent recruits now under his command.
