A young man's Grandfather died. He discovers his Granddad was not, in fact, special ops, but rather a Galactic Peacekeeper. In company with an AI combat bird, Perry, Netty (the ship's AI), and Torina, adventures happen and shenanigans ensue.
Lots of shenanigans. The book is pretty episodic. It's a comfortable book in that there are no real high stakes. Maybe I've been far too traumatized by novels in the past, but I kept expecting terrible things to happen...and they really didn't. Things get sorted out easily and quickly. I'd say this is a great introduction to sci fi for middle school readers. There's some language, but mostly a few instances of "holy s**t" and that's about it. There's some suggestive content, but no sex at all. The violence is pretty sanitized.
Honestly, I got bored. It's a nice enough book, completely inoffensive, and occasionally humorous, but I had to really persevere to get through it.
I think there are ?13? more books in the series. I probably won't read them.
