Review Summaries
"Nicholas Seafort, now promoted to commander, is betrayed by his commanding officer as a fleet sets out to search for the aliens he has discovered. Forced to take on a passenger quota of violent street kids and abandoned to die on a derelict ship, he has to hold them together according to his strict codes of honour and Navy regulations, under pressure of mutiny and the threat of imminent attack. But how long can he keep them alive?"
