Like the previous reviewer, I agree that Wolfhound is a fantastic novel.  And I want to explain in further details why.Wolfhound is a fast paced, space action oriented space opera, following the adventures of Ensign Jacob Hull.  Hull grew up in space, unlike most members of the Celostian Navy, and there is a natural bias of sorts against him.Nonetheless, with intelligence and hard work, Hull graduates from the academy and is assigned to the CNS Wolfhound, a new class of destroyer ship doing a test run.  During the run, the new crew will conduct drills, and test the gear to make sure everything is fine.  The mission is seemingly easy, but alas the author has something special in mind for Wolfhound.  Through a series of events, our young ensign finds himself in command of Wolfhound, and ordered to find a way home.The odds are not in Wolfhound's favor, as the ship is far from Celostian territory.  And there are pirates and other enemies of the Celostian Navy lurking nearby.  Hull quickly finds himself challenged by the crew, and by enemies of the fleet.  Yet, the author finds innovative ways to resolve these conflicts, and get the crew back in the Navy.I admit that I find myself hard pressed to come up with complaints with this novel.  Probably the most credible one would be a lack of world building in terms of the history of the Celostian Navy, and their conflicts with other governments.  I am confident that the author will work on that in the next installment of Wolfhound.
