About this listen

When a mission ends in disaster—there is no way to achieve the objective, no way to regroup and try again, no plan B, no hope—all you can do is fall back into FAILURE MODE and try to salvage whatever you can.

...if it is even possible to save anything, or anyone.

The galaxy is doomed. Monkeys may be clever and too stubborn to give up, but Skippy The Idiot Who Got Played knows the harsh truth: this is a fight he can’t win. The odds are not only stacked against him, he was designed not to win this fight.

Maybe he can salvage some faint memory of the civilizations that inhabit the galaxy, but those beings are doomed. Doomed. Including the Merry Band of Pirates.

Interesting twists, though it seems the author was getting confused with his own story line.
Still an enjoyable listen, will miss the characters!

It didn't read like the climax it's supposed to be. After all that hype, the elders turned out to be a dead fuse. Once again Joe and Skippy come up with something in the last minute to save everyone when the odds are completely stacked against them. Very lazy and unimaginative writing overall.
