Review: Non-stop action Space Opera
Rating: 3 out of 5

Space operas with non-stop action, like this one, are some of my favorites.  I really enjoyed reading the space battles, intrigues, and individual combat scenes.  I wanted to give this book 4 stars for having so much that I enjoy reading.  Unfortunately, there were too many distractions related to military discipline which reduced my enjoyment of the story.  I can accept that there will be different norms for military discipline but this story went too far for my tastes.  I found it implausible and distracting to the story that military discipline was in force when tenured senior officers are present but then devolves to insubordination as the norm once the command structure changes.  Occasional insubordination might be bearable but such wide spread insubordination was not plausible to me, especially when at other times it was not tolerated.  Overall, if you like an action packed space opera and can put up with some setting issues and no hard science then I expect that you would enjoy this story.  Sequel novel,Badger (Jacob Hull Series), has been published.No significant editing issues were noted.  Wolfhound is 5,737 Kindle locations long - including a short excerpt for the next novel.  Standard length "paperback" novels seem to run in the 4,500 to 7,000 plus Kindle location range.  Long novels can range from 15,000 to 20,000 plus Kindle locations.
