The Ship

Wow! The Ship is a twisty time travel alien ride! I enjoyed the tale and was surprised by the ending. I got totally attached to our main hero, Casey. She showed a lot of stamina and independence. The set up was really good too as I love a good wrecked ship escape story. In this case, it was an alien spaceship. Casey and three others (Earl, Donovan, & Bill) wake up totally confused on this wrecked ship. Let the Survival Games begin! The last quarter of the book was my favorite. By this point, Casey has figured out what is going on with the time travel and this alien ship. Yet Casey now has to make some very tough choices and I honestly didn’t know how things would ultimately fall out until I got to the very end. I was sitting on the edge of my seat, wanting justice for humanity but also wanting a happy ending for Casey. Very tense and satisfying! 4/5 stars. Zachary Johnson is also a joy to listen to and I enjoyed him here too. Even though the main character, Casey, is female, nearly all of the supporting cast is male, so Johnson was a good fit for this story. He had a believable voice for Casey (and the 3 other ladies who got a handful of lines). His kid voices were also good. He excelled at the creepy alien voice (who sometimes inhabited other humans), especially Casey’s evil dad.
