Query: Standard space opera (and good !)

Standard space opera. That said, very well written and has a good plot that will carry for a while. I have ordered the rest of the series from Amazon (used) and will be moving them to the top of the SBR (I am reading _Galactic_Convoy_ now).Note: I purchased the used book on Amazon. There is an updated book from the author for $17.95 which was a little pricey for me/
