Don't let the authors pseudonym keep you from trying this novel.  Unfortunately using Luke Sky Watcher as a pseudonym just screams amateur hour to me but the novel is anything but amateurish.  It  is a wonderful example of Comedic Space Opera.  Some people may not care for the lighthearted plot but I think it compares favorably to many great Science fiction classics.  If you like such stories as Keith Laumer's Retief series or the Stainless Steel Rat series by Harry Harrison you will love Admiral Who.  This novel is jam-packed with almost any Space opera elements you care to name.  military battles,  power amour,  high-tech super swords, unknown "lost" colonies, giant insect aliens.  cantankerous crew-members, space pirates, a  mysterious super space babe as love interest  and much more.  I think that the author has seriously undervalued his work at the current price of $0.99.  I think at least $2.99 as an unknown author is easily justified.  If this novel was from an more established author I would expect a price of $5.99 or more.  I see a lot of ebooks with considerably smaller page counts than Admiral Who getting these kinds of prices.  This novel is higher quality than most of the self published work here on Amazon.  I can't wait for the sequel.
