Do you like Honor Harrington series by David Weber?  You will love this new book by a great promising new author. Perhaps not a single hero stands out as in the Honor series, but several.Young lieutenants learns the hardship of command and a peacetime navy politics fall apart under the pressure of a real war.  A powerful fleet defends Victoria and it's wormholes which are the backbone of its economic power.  No single enemy can stand against the largest fleet in space.  But what about an alliance of three enemies combined with ships built in secret and secret weapons.  Before they even understand who they are fighting the fleet is ambushed & crippled, the Queen is dead and the Princess, the new Queen, is fleeing for her life outnumbered, outgunned and only a few desperate ships between her and total destruction.  She brings with her the space base that can perhaps form the backbone of a new fleet and build new ships; if it can survive.A rollicking good book highly recommended for all fans of military space battles and the pressures of war.
