Review: Snappy little "Crimson Worlds" short story

I like the Crimson Worlds series.  This little short story is a prequel to the main series and features Fleet Admiral Garrett back when he was ship commander Garrett and has his first ship command.  As always, Allan has thought out the military technology of the story and weaves it into the plot.  But more importantly, there is some real drama here, as Garrett is forced to choose between military accomplishment and glory, and the sacrifice of much that is important to him.  This is the real theme of the story and author Jay Allan carries it off particularly well.  RJB.
