I am a big fan of fantasy and science fiction novels especially if they are long and have several books in the series. I really enjoy a series of books that I can immerse myself in and I first picked up an Elizabeth Moon novel because it was long and part of a multi-novel series. I continue to read her books because I find them engrossing and highly enjoyable. ( )

See book 7, Against the Odds

1 Board of Inquiry
1 Courtmartial
(Both Remnants of Prior Books in the Series, Beware)

1 Surprise!Brilliant Command Lieutenant Hiding in the Technical Track
Many Awful Nightmares Resulting from Trauma (Suppressed and Recent Variety)
1 Serrano Ensign (Handsome Variety)
1 Enormous Deep Space Repair Ship, with
1 Very Confusing Command Structure, and
The Ability to Provide Ships for the Enemy Bloodhorde if Captured

SpaceWalking
1 Not-So-Smart Mine
25 Bloodhorde Infiltrators
1 Daring Plan ( )

Interestingly enough, this book in the series "The Serrano Legacy" has very little to do with Heris Serrano, or any other Serrano. Instead we follow Esmay Suiza, the junior lieutenant that brought a ship back in a previous book. I would often find such detours annoying, but I really like this book and was about to give it five stars until some cheesy elements in the end tried to pull it down. Well, I'll give it five stars anyway.

Esmay Suiza is a female space officer from a planet which doesn't care for rejuvenation, barely care for space, and absolutely not care for female military. With that background she doesn't quite fit in, with rare flashes of absolute brilliance. Now she has to answer for her actions in front of a court martial, and they are not her friends.

well written but too much time spent on trying to fix inner problems ( )
