Its stories like this that makes me wonder why Hollywood are constantly remaking things instead of searching for new materials.

[@jowens1126]

Because they only reward each other. If you aren't in their click, you don't exist. That's why their creativity has become completely bankrupt. Now they are doomed to doing remakes and producing woke garbage.

[@teknyte-1]

They are the nobility in this story

[@outersketcher]

Also, the nobles of hollywood are more interested in the movies they produce as platforms to preach and lecture us commoners.

[@ELMOcall911]

1984.

[@dotnet97]

Remakes and sequels are low risk. The material is already known to be liked, so there's a built-in audience. That's why they feel safe blowing hundreds of millions of dollars on each show/movie. New material means risk, people may or may not like it, and the big studios have grown too fat and risk averse to try that.

[@terrillhester704]

This is MAGNIFICENT book/story. I'm addicted. The Black Ship is a must listen to if you are a Syfy fan. The characters are well developed. I'm not exaggerating when I say I have listen to this story at 10 times. I had rather relisten to this story than watch TV.

[@303Gaming1]

I am honestly just astounded at this being 11 and a half hours long from chapter 1 to 25, I didn't think its was THAT long of a story. Still, worth every second

Same here. It's a good story. And some decent science fiction.

[@MrIzzyDizzy]

for this type of story its very good. you might look for murderbot diaries or red rising - read by sonny burton. or the weekly stories by p.e. rowe to name 3. there are many others too, but there is a lot of crap out there too. btw pe rowe puts out a story every thursday. or a chapter in an on going stpry. he writes it. reads it ,and even makes his own thumbnails. give him a shot 1st. amazing guy. also teaches writing.

[@nautdead3197]

​@MrIzzyDizzy tried red rising a few times just can't get into it. Don't know why should be exactly what I like

[@MrIzzyDizzy]

idk - The sonny burton version is the better one i think, But. id give it a rest try it again sometime later. That can make a difference. Other good YTubers are Gerald Kilby, Craig A Falconer, LARS, Lyssa Dream and the Sentience Wars saga on Aeon 14 channel. Also ASN - agro squirrel narrates. with his non stop scifi radio. and other stories. and others. Also DUST - for some good low budget videos. There is a lot of good stuff, but eventually the really good stuff will dry up unfortunately. Some gets removed too.

[@dockaos924]

As a tech engineer I can appreciate the technician being a tad pissed off about the ship being wrecked after the days of work on it and then having to rebuild it

[@khriswildt5633]

I completely agree with you I thought that added a very personal touch to the entire book!

It's what every aircraft mechanic wants to say, but never do.

Ignorance is bliss as they say. If the tech had realized that it was because of Wyatt's actions that he was still alive it might have made him change his tune... naw, knowing techs he would still be pissed.

After listening to the first 15 minutes of this story, I immediately went to Audible and searched for it. I was disappointed to not find it there. I'd happily pay for a downloadable copy.

[@sedonamudsquid]

Sometimes when I find a really good story on YT I use a program called 'free you tube downloader.' It's simple, and easy to choose MP3 as the desired output file. But it doesn't divide it into chapters, unfortunately.

[@razor1uk610]

After making a kofi donation or giving a YT Channel Subscription to the author,... There are allegedly a few good online convertors for 320 Kbps Mp3's, that are reasonably safe to use (infrequently) 'YT video to mp3 online ripper' sites online, plus a few others if you especially have a pop-up blocker,... Ignore the converter sites that just spam alternating DL site pages in a Mobius Loop of spam links, or try to force you to install some sort of app, windows fix or dake page warning. and ignore those which ask for details or membership logins, ..all those ones are definite criminal laundering/phishing scam sites.

This is a good book. It’s the AI voice that cracks me up. How it changes the voice for the same characters at times. It’s has like an outburst or puts emotion where it doesn’t belong. I mean it’s just funny to listen to. Lol. Sounds like it’s suffering from some sort of mental issues at times. Still the stories worth a listen.

Wow! Excellent narration from one person, you sir kept me focused on the story from start to finish.

Honestly, i believe i heard "head tilt" "smirk" "chuckle" and a few other words more in this video, than in my entire life. That said, this is probably one of the best stories i came across so far on these channels. And i kinda want another 100 hours of it, at least.

When the story continues, I'd like an aside with Wyatt approaching Jincho asking him if Jincho and his team could design a special two/three seat fighter/escape craft that would carry Clara, Cynthia and either Wyatt or another pilot to safety in the event of the Noir Navea being boarded. Wyatt's instructions would be to make the fighter the fastest, most heavily armed craft in its class. Jincho would take the instructions as a challenge and immediately go to work with his team. Secretly Wyatt intends to teach both Cynthia and Clara to fly the new escape fighter. While Clara immediately takes to flying the little craft, Cynthia proves less adept at flying. Clara treats the small nimble craft as a personnal gift from Wyatt and Jincho, Her very own fighter which Wyatt names Reaper's Blade.

I just binged Listened this today, and it literally took me to the end to realize this isn't a book! I was looking for the rest of it and was horribly disappointed, but elated this is someone's content! I the 40k vibe sits there, but it has a bit of a softer appeal instead of brutal grimdark, As much as I love 40k, It's nice to have an apprieve. I imagine that this can be taxing, but I'll echo everyone else's request for Book 2 Plz When, but with the caveat that I'm more than happy to wait for you to write it well, or if they're are delays, I'm sure we'll all understand. TLDR: Great Job bro, Can't wait (But don't rush.)

[@Soundwave119]

There is 40k vibes in this story, particularly with the Royal Marines. Back in chapter 13 part 2 when I mentioned Royal Marines gave me Warhammer 40k Space Marines or Adeptus Custodes vibes when talking with EkhidnaWritez. EkhidnaWritez wrote back saying the closest to Tempestus Scions.

[@scy1038]

Just finished chapter 15, so about half way through what this video contains. I have to say, I think it's brilliantly done. As an HFY, it leans into the space opera genre in a good way. It has real "classic scifi" vibe but doesn't hang onto played out troupes. It reminds me of Gordon Dickson, or even some of Clark's later stuff. This is a series I'll continue to follow.

@@KarterBigs Well the thing that complicates matters more is that neither Scifi Stories or EkhidnaWritez were the original person started to write this story.

This is for the author and not specifically the channel. I've read a lot of sci-fi, like, a lot. I read around 100 books a year, from the classics to the more obscure stuff. So your story needs a little polish and a bit of rework from the help a literary agent, not for content but to help with flow and wording and stuff. That being said, the story content and plot are among some of the best I've heard/read. You should be working with an agent to get this book published by Saint Martin's Press. That's super hard in the sci-fi genre so here we are. I hope you keep writing, because you have a true talent.
