Product Description
June 6th, 2267 – A life-pod, missed by rescuers following the mysterious explosion of a Space Mandate vessel a decade earlier, is learned by a passing freighter in deep space. A young officer, still cocooned in stasis sleep, is establish inside. When revived, Ensign Jenetta Carver learns of the lawlessness that now suffuses interstellar space. Pirates and slavers seem able to attack and pillage with impunity. Space Mandate has committed its full resources to stopping the anarchy, but criminal groups have grown immensely powerful.
Although determined to rejoin SC as soon as possible, Jenetta is captured by pirates before that can take place. At first she fears for her life, but when she’s indelibly marked as a pleasure slave, she gets mad; fighting mad. And when they tamper with her DNA to make her appear sexier, she gets even madder; killing mad.
Can a petite blonde, cut off from Space Mandate, make more mayhem among the criminal fundamentals than a full decade of SC effort? You’d better judge it!
From the back take in:
For all of her young life, Jenetta Carver had dreamed of cruising between the stars in a powerful spacecraft, but nothing in her visions of a bright future even remotely resembled the perilous situation she now faced.
Lt. Sabella, her face slightly flushed from physical exertion, returned from her task of readying the ship’s weapons and crossed the bridge to stand by the left arm of Jenetta’s mandate chair. “What’s the plot, Captain?” she questioned. Though an nervous look swathed her face, there was particular resoluteness in her voice.
Jenetta breathed in deeply and then unrestricted it before answering in a voice lowered so that it only carried to her XO. “We’re going to have to slash and burn,” she answered.
“Slash and burn?” Gloria questioned, equally sotto voce.
“We don’t yet know what we’re facing, so we can’t prepare anything well sophisticated. We certainly won’t be able to arrange for a convenient artificial mountain as take in this time, and it’s a agreed that whatever Raider ships we’re about to face are considerably better armed than we are. So— surprise will perforce serve as our main weapon. I intend to slash our way in with as much speed as practicable, dump our envelope, and then burn down any enemy ships that we encounter before they can do the same to us.”
“That’s it?” Gloria questioned, wide-eyed. “That’s your whole plot? Shoot them before they shoot us?”

All I can say is I’m glad I only ordered the sample. The leader must have a lot of friends review this book to give it such a high rating. The first two chapters were lost to “educating the reader” on tons of back tale that I could’ve done lacking. The characters are flat, the plot was lost, and so was my purchasing dollar.

I delight in using my Kindle to read terrible science fiction, but not time. By the end I dreaded the appearance of the next quotation mark. It surely means the start of some more long flat dialog, to match the long flat text surrounding it. Plot is par for the course, but sorely needs editing.

A painstakingly enjoyable yarn – coming of age tale that would have got 5 stars when I was a teenager. More detail than was necessary about some of the tech and less than was necessary in terms of character development. Looking forwards to more and sharing this one with my own teenagers.

This was a very entertaining read. It kept me interested, and while a small slow in places, it had the ability to re-energize me in fleeting order. I also ordered, and read, the next in the series “Gallantry at Vauzlee” and loved that as well. As I mentioned before, a small Hornblower, a small Harrington, and a smidge of Kildar. Looking forwards to reading the plotted five additional books in this series! FORWARD DEPRIMA!

Kathryn Janeway. Honor Harrington. Kris Longknife. Alicia DeVries. (Okay, that last one was a space marine who just stole a starship to fight pirates. But bear with me.)
Don’t get me incorrect – I have no issues with female protagonists. Perhaps I’m just coming off a bit of a streak after watching some excellent Voyager episodes and reading books featuring Harrington, Longknife, and DeVries. But Captain Carver (and honestly, after reading through this book, there’s no doubt that she’ll get mandate again, and probably sooner than she would expect!) strikes me as an officer who – once she gets a couple more missions under her belt – will hold up well when compared to additional captains like Janeway and Harrington. While I have to admit, she seems to have used about sixteen lifetime’s worth of luck just in this book – starting off with a freighter just happening to stumble across her missing escape pod after eleven years and not letting up until very close to the end of the book, which is six months later! – I can let that go. I guess my largest complaint is that things seemed… a bit too unbelievable. Some of the ship-to-ship combat, especially the first time Caver is sitting in the captain’s chair, finished up just too dubious. And the Raiders’ plans for Carver seemed a bit cliched, especially in the modifications they were building to Carver, physically and mentally. (Man. It’s a heck of a lot harder than I thought it would be to write a review sans spoilers.)
But, all that being said, it’s still an enjoyable read, if a bit fleeting. I am looking forwards to the next book in the series.
