Thomas F. (hardtack) -
While other reviewers may find the legal aspect of this sci-fi series tedious, I am fascinated by it. And I'm not a lawyer, nor would I ever wish to be one. Like they say, ninety percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
On the other hand, don't expect me to request a book on your bookshelves which have characters who are werewolves, zombies, half-zombies (the real living dead?), vampires, (half-vampires, what, only one fang?), shape-shifters, etc. Thank God we all have different interests.
Frankly, while not trained in the legal profession, I like to guess how LTJG Sinclair will win the case, or, in this case, prove his girl friend innocent. In this book, I figured it out before the end. In fact, I figured out a lot before the author let me in on it.

Sinclair must provide evidence proving his girlfriend is innocent of blowing up her ship and killing over 60 crew members.
This series, so far, makes me think that it could be a precursor series to the "Lost Fleet" series Hemry wrote as John Campbell. Maybe 200 years before. The stories are interesting, if very slow and filled with legalese. Seems to be written to appeal to those lawyers who like scifi [like my cousin, who introduced me to Hemry].
Overall, a nice read, but nothing to get excited about or be impatient for the final book.
