This author can be really frustrating to read in this genre. He has really good ideas/concepts but the execution and explanation events are a little blurred. A catastrophic events causes an old reserve ship to be cast in to the limelight and an alcoholic captain attempts to lead them to victory over the invading aliens. Sounds like a spin off to an old Japanese anime called Space Battleship Yamato. Instead of a battleship it is an carrier "Earths last hope rests on an ancient aircraft carrier refitted to combat the alien threat" (music playing in the background). Then the Great Escape and the return blah blah blah....Not saying it is not a decent read but it immediately reminded me of the anime while reading it. Maybe there will be a little more in the next novel.
