It’s a really interesting premise because over the intervening 80 years there have been a lot of social as well as technological changes which make the assimilation of the two groups that much more difficult. It’s one thing to have a vastly superior warship at your disposal, but it’s another for it to be captained by a British woman of mixed Pakistani descent. And it only goes down hill from there. The author has done a really good job of making both groups reactions to the situation believable and consistent.

There are more books in this series and I’ll be buying them once my to-read stack has gotten a lot smaller.
