This is another saga of a ship testing that ends up in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I very much like reading with Females being the main characters not males but the high ratings for the series intrigued me.However, I use reading as a pain/anxiety management technique so I just read the books on my kindle and I am usually cut out my pain so I do not feel it until I stop reading.  I am grateful for easy to read stuff when my pain particularly strong.  I read the sample and although I have problems with liking the main character and the choices he has made because there are many other ways to live your life.  He was very selfish and it was only because someone challenged him that he worked hard to excel.  He is definitely not a self starter and sometimes you know that you would do the same thing but no matter what his background, I would not like him to be my captain. However, the author spent a lot of time developing him and I find myself liking him anyway.Anyway, I downloaded the book putting it on my Kindle to read. (Thank you Amazon, the font allows me to read again after five years when I just could not see to reread my my favorite books that I read time and time again.  I often have migraines that hurt my eyes but reading on a Kindle, I can bump the font up to just the right reading for me.  Sometimes, when my migraines happen and I need a pain management technique for ALL day long, I use the sepia color that helps my eyes but most of the time, I read in the white.)It is easy to read this book (you don't have to read everything and think about it) the book just flows fast like a movie entertaining you and I identified with the Ship that has no control of Getting Home as I am often so lost in pain and agony and I so want to regain control of my life.However, although most times I see what the Terrorist Lady's reasons for doing things, and I know she is in upmost agony, but I just cannot like her.  I do not identify with her at all when she does things that jeopardize the ship, I cannot imagine doing that not matter how angry and hurt I was because it always means someone dies and I could not put them in jeopardy because of some cause.  I do not like the XO either because she is the type of girl I usually stay away from.  Now the pilot and some other characters are wonderfully crafter which when you are trying pain management technic of reading, is a relief and sometime a real hoot.There is very little foreshadowing in the book in fact the book could be understood by a fifth grade boy or girl and they would love it.  Since the book has about no foreshadowing, reading it is always easy as pie although I find myself looking for other ways that they can accomplish their goals that would be healthier and better.Anyway, read the book/saga and share it with others.
