I made a comment on an earlier book in this series that Horatio tended to not make mistakes. It appears that I may have been mistaken in that pronouncement, because he makes some rather serious ones in this volume. He also, as the title implies, becomes captain of his own ship, and has to try to whip them into the kind of shape he's come to expect of a ship he works on.
The story was interesting as a coda to the Share series. Not something for someone who's never read another Lowell book, but rewarding for someone who's worked their way through the entire series.
It was also interesting to do some mental calculations while listening to the audiobook of this and realizing that Captain Wang is around my age at the time of this book. I'm not one to second-guess my life choices too often, but I am definitely not a starship captain yet!
