I just discovered this series. As there are about four more to it, if this opening novel is any look as to what to come, then my one click button will be getting a workout.The plot line as listed above is spot on.  The premise is unique, well presented, believeble, and the characters well drawn and actions appropraite in line with the plot.  The characters are of great interest, good dialog, funny, sad, and always with an advancement of the plot line.This is space opera at its  best. The universe of the story the author has created is vast and leaves the reader desiring to explore it. This is good sci fi.If I had no kindle and was in a bookstore I would of gladly paid the paperback price.This is a long novel, nothing padded, and extremely worth the price. I have purchased the second novel and I am about an 8th of the way thru. Quality of this, the first novel, continues onward.Very few editing or spelling errors.with respectJadawin
