It is a fun read, and a good start to a wonderful series.

As often done my this writer, the first of the series can be read independently of the next two.

It is the adventures of the Earthrise. In this book we get to know the crew, something of the mysterious patron, and the captain. The captain has a few sore spots on her soul, and the series will play on some of these. She is prickly because of her past.

I have a couple of small quibbles. First Roddenberrys as a fruit? Well at least the next hold did not contain Jeans.

And second is much more subtile. It is a technology plot hole, one that few will realze is there. To freeze dry stuf, which would make them not rot, you need cold and a vaccume. Not an cleaning machine, but very little gas pressure. Which the vessel had. Of course one could say that freeze dried fruit would not have the market worth, but it's only water that is lost, well mostly.
