Everyone, from her ship's seasoned crew to random strangers, annoyingly remarks on 21-year-old Kylara's youth and "exceptional" poise.

Richard C. Drew said If you like military SF, well developed characters and a great storyline, get this book!. Every couple of months I look for a new series or author - shame on me - I had forgotten how much I liked Moon's books written with Anne McCaffrey - the Planet Pirates series, one of my favorites from many years ago (wow - over "If you like military SF, well developed characters and a great storyline, get this book!" according to Richard C.

Carnathan Very slow to get moving -- probably the first half to two thirds of the book is a long set up for the adventure that almost lost me at times -- but then things get rocking and rolling and are good fun for the last 1/3. Good enough that I am now part way through book three in a matter of days. There are a god awful lot of amateurs out there self-publishing some very marginal stuff these days. I find myself reading some of it because there's just enough of an idea. Warren W. Ward said Awesome book!. I enjoyed this story from beginning to end! It took the author a bit to finally develop more than one character, but she finally did- excellently! I don't cotton to the feminist idea that relegates men to useless idiots, but she restrained herself. The female captain was not a feminist gratuitous placement. She made the story!I really look forward to the next one, as soon as I can afford it. Kindle Books are my sole recreation now, and this one was thrilling!
