A fun space adventure novel set in a forever war between 3 factions whose motivations and backdrops seem somewhat thin but are good enough for a relatively low scopes, tight cast adventure such as this one. It feels like the pacing and writing could be polished a bit and some portions are longer than I wished but the awkward bits never really get in the way for long enough to detract from the Firefly-ish, Han Solo-ish feeling story.
