Review: A quick and entertaining sci-fi read

This book is about rookie captain's first major space voyage (a 38 week round trip to Pluto).  Originally, the crew's main concern was how they could stay sharp given the many hours of boredom such a long voyage through the void of space would entail.  But the trip quickly becomes anything but routine.The book was a quick and fun "read", but also a bit generic.  It has a kick-ass female captain (as does the sci-fi trilogy Sequoyah), space pirates (as does the sci-fi book Poor Man's Fight) and more (which I will let future readers discover for themselves).  At the end, though, the book felt like an introduction; so there are probably more stories featuring this no-longer-a-rookie captain (Nicole Shea).The book had more Kindle "goofs" than other books I've read, more descriptions of sexual activity than I'm used to in a sci-fi book and a bit too much hand-to-hand (and laser-to-laser) fighting for my taste.
