A Galaxy Unknown
(A Galaxy Unknown #1)
by Thomas DePrima (2010)

This is the epic story of Jenetta Carver. As  young ensign on a starship she is  awakened in the middle of the night by an alarm and the message to abandon ship.

It’s Military Science Fiction, and fortunately we don’t get half the book following the main character through training. She evolves, changes and adapts through her adventures. This is a good example of the ‘Show, don’t Tell’ axiom.

The story itself is rather unlikely, she escapes multiple times in true ‘Pulp Fiction’ style. Defeats her enemies and wins the day.

It’s fast, fun action and makes me want to read more in the 12 book series.
