An excellent book. A peculiar space “Fifteen-Year Captain.” A cruel cosmos governed by harsh laws, where you have to take thirteen-to-fifteen-year-old boys on raids to develop in them immunity—raids last not for a couple of days, but for several months…
The main character is a cadet of the United Nations Military Fleet, and now it’s his first star raid. But due to extraordinary circumstances, he must take command of a cruiser. It doesn’t matter that Safort is only seventeen. Space doesn’t make allowances for age.
