Review: My take on this work, no major plot spoilers
Rating: 2 out of 5

Story of humanities first ever space warships (only three, and very sparingly described) obliterating handfuls of warships from a much older and more experienced race. Basically the story is very similar to a one man and a companion or two saves the world script, just substitute people for warships. In true keeping with that genre whenever the author needs  something to perpetuate his story it appears. Need intelligence on the enemy? Just slaughtered an enemy ship? No  problem find an unbelievably accommodating alien in a few weeks time she's a one dimensional character loyal to the captain actively fighting her species and spilling all she knows. No reason given why she betrayed her people but remember  it's about what the author needs at that time to perpetuate his story. Over and over you see this m.o. fro  the author as things just appear. Honestly substandard workIf your looking for space operas/science fiction there are plenty of other books out there just skip this one.
