I passed this book up several times not thinking much of it because of the title.  Finally, since I read so much I ran out of stuff to read and picked it up.  Boy what a surprise.These books are filled with action and a lot of character development especially of the Admiral.  He's the unwitting hero of the series and never seems to be able to catch a break.Some of the characters seem a little over the top at times like the crazy chief engineer or the mad Lady Ankantha but it's entertaining and that's what counts.Having read all the books in the series so far I can say it's not one of those series with a lot of filler thrown in to push out books.  The books seem to have almost wall to wall action or political subterfuge going on through them.Definitely one of the better scifi series I've read.
