The second book in the Ark Royal series. A simple setup: an obsolete warship turns out to be not so obsolete when aliens with plasma weapons attack. Lots of space battles and we follow the doings of the several protagonist characters in the quiet times. Good stuff!I have one beef with Mr. Nuttall. When something in orbit is blown up, the debris does not rain down on the planet below. The pieces merely go into slightly different orbits. Two satellites (at least) circling the Earth have been blown up and the bits of them are still circulating as space junk. Read your physics textbook again, Mr. Nuttall.
