Summary
At twenty-six, Jared didn't expect to be promoted to Captain, but when his father-figure suffers a permanent injury in the line of duty, he suddenly finds himself at the helm of a starship. He gets a good crew: an eccentric engineer, one snarky communications officer, two very-much-in-love navigators, and a first officer who gives Jared less than professional feelings. Sure, things keep going wrong, like pipes bursting, nearly dying by rebels on so-called friendly planets (only once, he swears) and a crew member doing his best to undermine Jared's authority. However, when Jared receives a distress signal from other members of the Navy, he goes against orders to rescue them, putting him and his crew right in the middle of a civil war on a planet with trees as tall as towers, knee-high grass, and people who make even Jared look tiny. There, he finds a conspiracy that goes all the way up the chain of command, forcing Jared to make some quick decisions to save his people.
