The story line is an interesting one that sets up the next book in the series and a good quick read It will be interesting to see how the story line develops

I liked it

Very good. Kept wondering what would happen next and what if they did something different.

Kaine is a spoiled, privileged Academy student, with a future already mapped and surveyed by his father. Kaine is to be his family's first President! But his casual relationships and father's meddling lead him to the Scimitar, an older ship with an eccentric Captain, going nowhere. The only unlikely part is the senior officers getting thrown into jail and missing the adventure! But that allowed Kaine to become the Executive Officer, embarking on an unplanned, unimaginable adventure that turns him into a "real" naval officer, complete with the self-sacrificing gene essential for every hero! I enjoyed the story and setting and am ready for the second installment!
