Publisher's summary
Excerpt: A Dangerous Universe:
A week later, they drew even with M-49 and Jerry announced, “I’m detecting stardrives throughout that galaxy.” Suddenly, Jerry announced, “SIR, I HAVE MULTIPLE STARDRIVES LEAVING THE EDGE OF THE GALAXY AND MOVING ON AN INTERCEPT COURSE!!”
“How many, Jerry?”
“Six and they’re traveling at high velocity. At their current speed, they will intercept us in less than thirty-six hours!”
“Crystal, can you increase the power you’re sending to the stardrive?”
“Kyle, even if I sent all my energy to the stardrive, those ships would still catch us in less than four days.”
“Send the power.” Kyle turned to Jillian, “Are you intercepting their communications?”
“Yes, but the translation program will need more time to decipher their language.”
“Do what you can.”
“What are you going to do?” Annie asked.
“Power up the missiles, Tina.”
“What do you mean by missiles?” Crystal asked.
“We had to develop defenses when you wouldn’t share your weapon technology with us, Crystal.”
“But missiles are useless against a ship inside a stardrive. No one uses missiles to defend them; they are useless against hitting a ship traveling in a stardrive field!”
Jerry turned to Crystal, “I think these missiles might surprise you.”
Jillian turned to Kyle, “What are you going to do?”
“If we can’t get them to turn around, I intend to destroy them.”
“Kyle, those ships are huge and the number of crewmen on them has to be in the thousands.”
“Hey, I’m not the one attacking them!” Kyle stared at Jillian and saw her expression, “What’s got your pants in a wad?!”
“So, I think it’s clear this galaxy is a threat, wouldn’t you say?”
“I don’t think there’s any doubt about that!” Kyle replied.
“So, what are we going to do about it?”
“What do you mean?”
Jillian’s eyes narrowed, “Are we going to wait for them to come and find us?”
Kyle shook his head, “That wouldn’t be good strategy.”
“So, we’ll come out and try to remove them as a threat first, right?”
“Absolutely! Do you have an issue with that?!”
“Tell me how we’re any different from them.”
Kyle stared at her for a long moment and then asked, “What are you saying?”
“They’re only doing what we’ll do, removing a possible threat to their existence. We’ll be just like them going out to exterminate any civilization we deem a possible threat to us, and they don’t even have to be a threat currently; we’ll destroy civilizations before they can become a threat. We’ll just become another aggressive civilization like all the others out there in the universe! Is that what you want us to be, Kyle?!”
From the Author of A Warship Named Sky, comes another story on humanity finding it's place in a Dangerous Universe. This is not a book you'll want to put down.

Too easy
I liked the world building, but the science is just too ham-handed. Human being given tech and within months are able to improve the technology. Humans have a tech advantage over every alien group they meet. It's just all too easy, and despite the title, the universe doesn't seem dangerous at all. Also, Julien going from linguist to competent captain and then admiral in months is just stupid. Slow the story down and make the characters work for it. Keep writing though, you are on the right track.

Way too many “however”
Would it kill the author to maybe not use the word “However” so much? It would have been a perfect story if not for the however being repeated just about every other sentence when explaining something.
