Title: Little bit of Heinlein, Little bit of Hornblower, Lots of good fun.
Review: Great introduction to a new (to me) universe in which the hero starts off on the losing side and brings the good old ways back to build a winner. At once shows the development of the central figure and of those that surround him as they each influence the other. Sets up the glimmering of several questions, why did the war start, why can't it be ended, and who are these third party guys? Altogether a thoughtful piece, maybe a little too extravagant in space battle description for me, but good character development and nice construction throughout. I can hardly wait for the next volume to be delivered.
