It's a nice space adventure, but I feel it's too much junior David Weber: instead of the ship's captain with all her troubles and angst, we have a lieutenant with troubles and angst. Moon is still trying to insert horses into the story, I guess for the teenage girl market, but it's very forced. Too many stretches of boring information about the structure of the ship which begged for a map. The battle at the end is pretty good and there are some exciting bits with some of the crew outside during FTL travel. I liked the characters, it's got decent dialogue and sense of place, but it's not interesting enough to make me want to go on with the series.
