I was hesitant about this one as I'm not one for outer space battle stories, but the characters, particularly the main character, got my interest. He is a man worthy of hero worship who was thought to be dead, but was found in stasis and ends up in charge of a modern fleet because of dastardly actions by their rivals, murdering the admiral in charge of the fleet. Before he leaves he puts John Geary in charge until he returns, but he doesn't and neither does those who accompanied him. They were murdered at the 'peace' talks, and Geary is suddenly in charge. Resented by some, worshipped as a hero by others, after a hundred years in stasis he is suddenly back in command and many lives depend on him. Good story. I'll read the next.
