2nd in this military SF series. I think this is the first military SF series where the young hero isn't promoted at the end of the first novel or the beginning of the second.

This is a good, milfic, sci-fi novel. The politics are believable, the action fun, and the characters are likable and believable. As a series, it's well worth a read for space opera fans.
A bit more action ... it's not "The Lost Fleet", but it's okay.
Reasonably intelligent novel.
