Review: Good space opera with some (small) lacunae

Good characters, even if our heroine is not very likeable a a person, varying unpredictably between a normal competent woman and officer to a pi-headed martinet.  Good action segments, good set-up of a universe.  Hard to understand how the only captured alien switches side so readily. Harder to understand earth taking the fight to an enemy of unknown but demonstrably superior strength with only three space going vessels in existence. Impossible to understand how the captured alien is left in the charge of a ship's captain, with no one from high command wanting to take part in the debrief. The mutiny is simply not believable in any way.  Aside from these small holes in plotting, it is a pretty good read and I look forward to another instalment.
