This first book of the fourth fleet irregulars blew away all expectations! I figured it'd be another spacefleet story to pass some time BUT boy was I happily wrong. This novel is well written and shows the dirty political part of the military thAt goes on all the time. The story follows a young skipper and his problem children of a crew and his older ship through space and challenges. Alex Von Supernova is a welcomed character that is wise beyond his years but is smart enough to have an older more experienced Spacer at his side to help him out when he needs it.  Alex is Skipper of a fleet ship called the Minnow that draws unwelcome attention that falls into a PR nightmare. Thanks to the young Skippers calm leadership and guidance from his older Executive Officer, the tides turn and the Minnow and it's crew come out smelling like roses. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I purchased the second of the series before I even finished this one.
