And you'll hope for a sequel soon.This would make for an EXCELLENT miniseries, and the state of the art could do it justice. (Not on SyFy, though - they'd butcher the entire premise.)As noted by the other reviewer, the blurb doesn't cut it when trying to describe the book.  Suffice it to say that although this could have been a bit "Mary-Sue"-ish - it isn't at all (aside from the opening premise, 2 sailors assigned to clean up detail before an Air Wing gets loaded onto a starship) and there's a very gratifying amount of character development, well thought out exposition, and a good bit of interplanetary tourism.  (Quick semi-spoiler - sometimes, it's REALLY not worth putting a beach resort where the customers could be considered bait and you've got to arm the lifeguards with 20mm cannon...)There's tension, comedy, romance, adventure, derring-do (but no real swashbuckling), with villains, heroes, aliens, and IRS agents.  What more could you want?If this ever comes out in paperback (or even hardback) I'm getting copies for friends for Christmas.  (Hey, not everyone's got a Kindle!)
