If one can lay aside logic and common sense for a while  this is an excellent book for young boys who dream one day to become a dragon slayer or vanquishing pirates in space. It is a bit exaggerated to have a boy finishing his final school exams (admittedly with outstanding grades) and not knowing what to do with his life and two months later piloting a space ship upgraded to military standards and winning space battles (and with a crew of three and their trusty IA's). Once you get into the action, however, you cannot get out of it. The characters are well shown and their growth plausible, the science seems to be well researched and support their actions, and it is edited almost professionally. Overall, a very good book for young people - it might get them interested in other things like video games. I will purchase the second book
