Review

"Superior military sf... The last third of the book recalls nothing so much as The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial in an sf setting, and it attains the same high level of achievement." (Booklist)"

3.0 out of 5 stars Old style fun 10 Feb 2012
By N. Brett TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Originally published under the name John G Hemry and given a major re-issue and facelift by the publishers.

This is a simple and almost moralistic story but it is very readable.

New Ensign joins his spaceship and is given duties as the ship's legal officer. When the Captain orders the destruction of a perceived attacking ship later proved to be harmless he is subject to a court-marshal. Young Ensign Sinclair takes a career risk by acting as a witness for the defence.....

The author's navy background is very obvious here with the running of a `ship' with much about the art of leadership and decision making. It falls into three distinct sections, the struggle of being a young Ensign, the incident and then the court-marshal. The author avoids getting Sinclair to be too pivotal, I have seen so many books where the young officer becomes a hero when the bridge crew are all killed etc etc but here it is well judged.

It has a simple old fashioned style (e-mail and stereos are mentioned!) but that helps it work

4.0 out of 5 stars A strong character driven story 3 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback
Having read and hugely enjoyed Hemry's other military science fiction series `Stark' and `The Lost Fleet' I eagerly got stuck into this one. I was not sure what to expect this time with the courtroom, legal angle in outer space but from the pen of Hemry I knew this would be a strong character driven adventure.

In Paul Sinclair we have a believable, fallible ensign who takes the reader into a world that is hectic and extremely stressful and demanding.

The USS Michaelson is not a shiny, flashy spacious spacecraft from the movies, but rather a cramped, uncomfortable and claustrophobic tub. You can sense the crews discomfort as they patrol the outer reaches of space on a patrol that can last for months with the same people and the same routine their only constants.

Typically of Hemry this focuses on the personalities on the `Merry Mike' as the crew christen it. They are a mixed bunch from the slackers and no-hopers to the high achieving and ambitious. The ones that are quick to smile are not always the ones you can trust as Sinclair is quick to discover.

This is what I enjoy about Hemry's work, he is great at presenting and dissecting different character types, often putting them into a dilemma and letting us see how the drama plays out.

With his own background in the US navy Hemry places his sci fi into the realms of the possible and the plausible. This may be set in the late twenty first century but naval codes of conduct are still followed to the letter and this is steeped in tradition and chain of command. The book is all the better for it as it gives it that much needed ring of authenticity.

It all builds nicely to a gripping finale in the courtroom where the outcome is uncertain and the stakes are high. For my money Hemry has managed again to provide the reader with an absorbing and intelligent science fiction drama in an all too plausible future. I for one will be keeping a look out for his next novel.
