Mutineer by Mike Shepherd
3.0
On the story itself - yes, I generally got sucked in and will likely try another in the series. Characters are I think better rounded than Honor Harrington, but the plotting not a shade on Vatta's War.
As for the audiobook - I almost dropped it as Dina Pearlman's narration was a real grind: No, not everyone needs to sound like a pre-pubescent valley girl! She can't pull off a Scottish accent for chips. And when the text says "she mumbled" then don't ignore the stage direction!
I think the audiobook producer must have been asleep at the wheel. However persistence paid off and by the end of the book I'd pretty much sublimated my narration hangups.
