Review: space opera of the finest kind

This book is what I usually term "space opera". Please do not misunderstand.  I like the genre.  What sets this apart from many "space operas" is the development of the characters.  I found all of the main characters to be fully formed and complex individuals.  The overall plot is simple and a bit predictable and yet it is not merely a simple and predictable plot. This is classic "space opera" on steroids. The Scrapyard Incident is a most enjoyable read.  The plot goes far beyond the typical boiler plate of many science fiction stories and supplies an very enjoyable experience.
