I have read several of Nuttall’s other works of science fiction and this ranks up there as one of the best of them.His writing was very competent and I liked his style, the action was pretty much nonstop but also on the realistic side, the science seemed realistic as well, and did not slip into the realm of fancy terminology and “handwavium,” nor was there some magic gizmo that saved the day.In addition, I liked his characters, and they and the dialog between them also sat well. The book reminded me a little of Campbell’s “Lost Fleet” series, except without the intense shipboard intrigue, and I’m hoping that there will be a sequel or sequels to Ark Royal.
