Only read Episode 1 - 'Aurora: CV-01'

This is turning out to be an all-together enjoyable series of books. Each episode is a quick read and helps tell the story in a nice, relaxed manner. Brown focuses on making each book part of a larger whole, which means that he can take his time to discuss what is going on.

I like the feeling that I get to explore the universe with the new ship. I get to be naive with the (new) Captain of the vessel, and I get to relish in his growth and mistakes.

While the story line is cliched, I don't like it any less then Start Trek: Voyager. In fact, I like it for the same reasons - I have strong emotional attachments to the characters, there is an interesting universe, and there's a clear sense of right and wrong to boot.

I look forward to reading the rest of Brown's books. ( )
