Not necessarily YA.  Pretty clean language and almost no hanky-panky.I would call it a sparkling new old fashioned space opera.  An update to Heinlein classics.Not to say there aren't plot holes and handwavium, but it was a very enjoyable read.  A bare hint of politics to provide some greater structure.  Liam shows a maturity far beyond his years in many of his decisions.  Nick is a bit thin as a character, but I hope later books give him more substance.Interesting twist, giving the Captain a 'peg leg'.I do hope a sequel is in the works.
