Kat arrived on station at Cadiz finding the fleet there in total disrepair with low morale, and ever worse readiness. Sent there by her father, Kat sends her message through her back-channel just as she leaves Cadiz escorting another group of freighters. Be interesting to see what happens when she gets back.

I was rather dubious purchasing the Kindle version of this book - I like well done Space Opera, and so far this one is fairly good. Believable main character, without her being overblown, and good supporting cast. Interesting premise and skillful use of tropes has made this book an enjoyable read so far.

Been wanting to read this series for a while now. Starts well; good hooks into the story. Rich, titled woman strikes out on her own from influential family. Embarrassing older sib. Similar to Dietz's Andromeda series, and Drake's Honor Harrington. Andromeda was born into nobility, while Dame Honor was knighted for her heroic actions. Honor and Andromeda started at the lowest ranks; we meet Kat as captain already.
