I read through about a dozen reviews, AFTER reading the book.  I agree with all of them!  The story is basic, yet fun.  Full of flaws, but easily overlooked.  The writing is not technical, but it doesn't need to be.  The characters are often one dimensional, but perfect their roles.  There is a kernel of good story around every corner in this book.  The book doesn't ever really get to any of those stories, but does not suffer from it.  It is what it is, and what it is a fun, quick reading story that makes you want to keep on reading!I agree with Daniel A. Womack's review that there are so many implausibilities or unexplained things.  How for example, would Sonia know all the intricacies of the engineering system on board this vessel, a class she had never seen or worked on before? Some how, she has encyclopedic knowledge of every bussway, circuit, and power junction....and yet, there are whole sections of the ship she's never been in.  Things like that stand out all over the place, but they don't subtract any of the enjoyment of the story.As stated elsewhere, you get a great story that's fun to read, and satisfyingly long, for a great price!  I am ready for the sequel!
