Zustand: Good. Military SF from legendary game creator Frank Chadwick. Lieutenant Sam Bitka finds himself commanding a starship against an alien enemy who always seems one step ahead of him. A CAPTAIN FINDS HIS CALLING Lieutenant Sam Bitka, U.S. Naval Reserve, is fed up with the military. He just wants to get back to his civilian job and leave the infighting and pettiness of careerist officers behind. Then real war breaks out as tensions between Earth and the alien Varoki boil over. As tactical officer aboard the deep space destroyer USS Puebla, Sam is thrust into the thick of things. The Varoki launch a crippling surprise attack against the Earth coalition fleet, and Sam finds himself in command of the Puebla--a job he is far from certain he can perform without screwing up. Not only must Sam deal with his stunned and reeling leaders in the human task force, he must also face down a particularly brilliant alien enemy who has made a deep study of human motivation and how to exploit it--an enemy who intends to use human indecision as a weapon to destroy the fleet. Now one freshly minted, brave new ship captain must learn what hundreds of leaders before him have discovered: THE CHAIN OF THE COMMAND STOPS HERE Praise for Chain of Command Chadwick's heavy hitter succeeds at teeth-gritting action scenes, deep psychological portraits of diverse characters and societies, and abundant puzzles and mysteries.
