Review of Midshipman's Hope by David Feintuch

Midshipmen Hope
Author: David Feintuch
 
The navy of the future takes kids when their

young, because traveling in space can make

you get cancer. So they take young and it

builds a resistance to cancer. Midshipman 

Seafort is just another crew members on board, 

but things start going wrongs.  Mr. Seafort has 

some big choices thrown at him. This navy is like 

the old sailing ships where the captain is all 

powerful like a God. He could hang somebody or 

have them shot for disobedience.
 
The book takes you through many facets of navy life, 

being an old deep water sailor myself it got my 

interests. That's all it took from about 30 pages 

into the story I was hooked. I read the whole 

series of 7 books right after it came out years 

ago, then passed it to my daughter and we both loved 

the story's. I just reread the first book in the series 

again and enjoyed it all over again. I look forward to 

getting the other books out to read, to bring back old 

memories.
 
I rate this book 5 stars
It is not rated for everybody, it has some sex in 

the story, but not real graphic. The reader should 

be at least 16 years old.
