Beth Baris had learned to survive in the slums where she'd lived all her life, but she is suddenly thrust among the elite service members of the Spacefleet of the Six Worlds. The skills that allowed her to survive in the slums are no longer relevant. Aletha Landish, an admiral in Spacefleet is instrumental in Beth's sudden change of lifestyle. Aletha had become her surrogate mother before she disappeared, and as with her first appearance, Beth is surprised by the demands the woman makes of her. She is fifteen years old, and Aletha wants her to join Spacefleet! Abiding Aletha's wishes, Beth works very hard to complete the hellish second phase of her training, and discovers she has just completed Officers Candidate School. Lieutenant Robert Jacobs, a young man with secrets of his own, makes her life aboard ship bearable. He also makes it interesting when he becomes sick while their captain is drunk, and she is thrust into the Captain's Chair when they suddenly come under attack. With a Laserian Battle Cruiser bearing down on them, Beth is required to make a decision. Should she comply with the standard operating procedure for the ship, or should she follow her instincts when they're based on what she's read rather than what she was taught at the academy?
