Description
In the first book of his JAG in Space series, New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell combines lived experience with spaceborne adventure in a U.S. Navy courtroom drama about honor, duty, and the sins that follow humanity even to the stars…
When Ensign Paul Sinclair comes aboard the USS Michaelson for his very first tour, he’s surprised to be named ship’s legal officer. Four weeks of training isn’t much to help him advise on legal issues involving a crew of 200. But serving on a spacegoing warship requires he learn fast, even surrounded by strangers and juggling expectations from an absentee superior, daunting commanders, and a reckless captain.
When the Michaelson comes into catastrophic contact with another vessel, Paul must answer his captain on what the law permits in the dark of space, even if it leads to trouble. But when a court-martial convenes shortly afterward, only he can decide if justice demands he risk his career, too…
