I like space opera with a strong female role.  Think Honor Harrington, Kris Longknife among the better ones.  Well now comes Katana, who is in their class.  A starship captain who can strategize with the best.  Not afraid to bust balls or order men to die.  She take no guff from outsiders or her staff.  And I like how the author tells her story through her eyes, does not make up technology just to solve a battle problem, and leaves out gratuitous sex (in fact there is none in this book which I really appreciate as well as leaving out bad language).  The battle situations are easy to follow and the orientation to classic naval battles seems very new and yet satisfying.I hope this author continues this as a series, but this book can be enjoyed as both a stand alone novel or continued on with a follow up.
