Ensign Grimes on his way to first ship, travelling on a merchant ship, gets sidetracked into a dubious action and wins the day and ends up on probation on a Survey Ship. A good starting story that has me reaching for the next book. John Grimes is a naive young ensign, fresh out of the Academy, in transit to his first assignment when space piracy and complicated rim politics suddenly intervene. He gets played big time, learns that "right" and "wrong" are perhaps more nuanced concepts than they teach you in school, and kills a bunch of people for the first time. Not that they didn't deserve it. This is by no means particularly compelling, but as a character Grimes seems to offer a fair amount more potential here than in the couple of other stories I've read from this series.

Meet John Grimes at the very beginning of a career that will lead him to fame and glory out at the edge of the galaxy, out where the laws of men are nonexistent, and those of nature itself are sometimes tenuous.Someday Grimes will be a Commodore in the secessionist Rim Worlds Navy, but for now he is merely a very junior lieutenant in another space navy entirely: that of the Federation. If he keeps his nose clean, one day he can be an admiral in that Service; all he has to do is follow regulations regardless of the consequences, and obey orders regardless of whether they are right or wrong - and he is determined to do just that.But being John Grimes, he will find it a more difficult task than he expects - especially when he must turn a blind eye to the piratical acts of the Waldegrenese Navy, or ignore the plight of a beautiful damsel in distress. That's why, although he doesn't know it yet, he is already on . . . the Road To The Rim. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden.
