Review: Simplistic Sci-Fi geared towards a younger audience.

I've read several of this authors books and this one in pretty much in the same style as the others, though this seems to be written for a young (child) audience to a degree.  We are introduced to Scotty on a planet that has suffered after the Realm collapsed.  We see Scotty do many things to bring his planet to a better place but depending on how deep you want to get into the book, they are conflicting in nature.  Honor and keeping one's word(Promise) plays a large role in Scotty's peoples lives.  The tribe get brutal when honor is violated or even thought to be violated.Beyond the honor quirks, Scotty gets to interact and command sentient space ships as they get introduced to the rest of the universe, which is a wild/wooly place.  Without getting into spoilers, we have a dichotomy in how things are done and done without much real thought into the possibilities that one has with super ships and how to do things with those amazing ships.That's pretty much why I consider this a children's sci-fi book.  I will read the next books in the series as I do enjoy reading and it piques my interest to see how the author takes this.  I am a kid at heart...(so the wife says..  )
