The Long Haul #2
Retribution
Ambition is headed back to Earth after seven hundred years. She is beaten and battered, her surviving crew still reeling from the loss of their captain, and the deaths of thousands in a war no one wanted or understood. Along the way, they intercept the warship Retribution. Commander Alexander Edmund and his renegade crew are traveling in the opposite direction, towards the Hunn-ephei home world, on an unsanctioned mission none of them expect to survive.
On Alderamin 4, Ly Sulafat and a handful of his people are prisoners of war at the very center of the threat. But Sulafat has even deeper problems. The ghosts of Ambition’s past have caught up with its former captain, and one of them has started speaking to him.
The long haul home is about to get longer, a whole lot deadlier, and the fate of humanity hangs on the actions of brave men and women now labelled as criminals.

I grew up on comic books and bad television from the seventies. It helped to develop an already over-active imagination to the point where I created my own series of comics featuring dozens of wacky heroes and ridiculous villains. I've also dabbled in cartoon strips and have been a regular contributor of political cartoons to a number of local newspapers. Throughout the years I realized my passion lay more in writing than in illustrating, so the 21st century has seen me make the transition from drawing funny pictures to writing full-time.

Good but not excellent
The story just jumps around too much. And I don't like it when the author has to invent monsters to keep the action and or suspense going.
