The Lindman by B.B. Hartwich is a great story. Science Fiction in the truest sense of the word. Spaceships, Captains, aliens, battles and loyalty. The neat thing about this story is that it spans the lifetime of the lead character: Helena.
It is rare that I find a good Sci-fi book with a strong female character. She is loyal to her ship and crew and especially her Captain.
The ship's name is The Lindman and sees all sorts of action. The sense of adventure is evident through the story and one tends to forget this is set sometime in the future.
