About this listen
Complete new version. Newly narrated in June 2018.
"This is not your usual alien vs humanity novel"
You have to feel sorry for an alien who wakes up on Earth after hibernating for millennia only to find his own race gone - destroyed centuries earlier by a ruthless hive of artificial intelligence. All that remains are humans, who have yet to evolve sufficiently to bypass their own shortcomings and unify as a race to work toward a common goal.
The alien, Zirkos, chooses to befriend a US Vet named Zeke Callaghan who possesses a rare component he needs to complete his spaceship's revival - an exotic meteor fragment currently buried in Zeke's head. A bond is forged between the two bringing with it remarkable technological advances in personal safety and an end to humanity's incessant demand for war. The breakthrough ultimately proves a catalyst to launch humanity into space.
From there events quickly take on a life of their own as the duo battle to bring Earth to a state of readiness to defend them from the approaching threat of 'The Nubl'.

Really enjoyed this
I very much enjoyed this book.
The story has great potential for a long series.
Narration was great, though i’m British so i would say that.
The only downside for me, is the added sound effects.
They are not needed or wanted. And can be distracting at times.
Overall a great first book in the series.

Sorry, Really bad regional accent ruins it
The write up made this an audio book to try so I did so. Really bad regional accent does this story no justice.
The writing leaves something to be desired even though I only got 10 minutes in before I had to stop listening, I could not continue listening to the voice.
Probably a good story on Kindle which I also got so might try reading instead.

love the idea of a "pattern" surviving the aeons
Would you listen to The Pattern Ship again? Why?
Yes. Love the story.
What did you like best about this story?
Did like the interaction between the age old pattern ship, its occupant and a "down-and-out" rising above the world government order.
What does Liam Owen bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Relaxing to listen to - very good reader.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes - keenly awaiting the follow on book - hopefully to be published soon ....

Would have been better without the sound effects
The background sound effects were irritating and drowned out the voice of the narrator. It would have been much better without it.
