Forced, disjointed, and badly in need of a line edit. Also, the story would be less disjointed if the writer used a symbol between segments.That said, its obvious the writer has a grasp of military tactics, and how a firefight proceeds, if not of strategy. There is no way a Fleet Commander would sacrifice most of his fleet to ensure survival of one person even if that person is his daughter.  A more realistic plot device should have been used here.A more thorough description of the alien species would be a plus.Complaints aside, i have to admit I was fully engaged in the story. I'll probably follow it in hopes the writers skills will develop. I'd recommend reading some Elizabeth Moon to understand pacing battle scenes.
