My feelings for this book are so biased by the super-crap pulp I'd finished before. But Anderson is a totally enjoyable author and the story never devolves into a tale of privateers (kind of bummed about that, but I understand why). He focuses instead on the enjoyable characters and a look at how different folks do it differently and how folks should probably remember that.

Enjoyable space battles and political lawyering. I didn't even get bored with those parts! ( )

An old fashioned space opera of sorts, where a few brave men and the odd alien stop menaces to hapless humanity (and maybe make some money into the bargain) with spaceships and derring-do and a little military fervour.

Hopefully changing the interstellar political scene and Earth into the bargain.

Think we'll try the old privateer dodge.
