This was a good book, but the weakest of this series.  As others have mentioned the POV flips need to be smoothed out.  Also, little seams to be accomplished in this book compared to the first two.  New dawn, he rebuilds an brooken down tramp freighter into a state of the art manufacturing/education ship.  In Fools gold he takes a dying star station and system rebuilds, defeats pirates, and starts local goverment on path to Federation membership.  In this book he mainly goes from point A (pyrax) to point B (new system)  with a few stops along the way to drop off supplies.There was a poorly done mystery subplot tossed in to add danger, but it quickly got tedious with the guilty party too easy for readers to figure out.  There was also a romance angle to this book, but with a woman that doesn't seam strong or interesting enough to balance the Admiral out.  It also just sort of peeters out without a satifing conclusion.Hopefully, by next book in the series the Admiral will be out from under the Pyrex cloud and back to fighting pirates and building a navy.
