If your into science fiction / Space battles this is a must read . It's well edited and written unlike some of the e-books I've been reading of late . It's author portrayed life in the military in a most realistic light , with the crew and the officers floundering around dealing in reality . The flag officers looking to throw them under the bus if the politics require it to save them selves . The equipment tired and out dated but found to be more reliable than the new and improved death traps . It's a good parallel of what's happening to are current military as they retool to fight insurgents .  It's a sad fact when you design a weapons system to fight a specialized target you loose flexibility . What the guys at the sharp end tells them what they need and what the powers that be end up giving them . We're always ready to fight the last war but very rarely the next .
