Surprisingly good

I have read the U.K. version of the book - titled "His Majesty's Starship" - but the story is evidently the same. I found the plot twists very entertaining and consider the lack of some background information of little concern. I certainly wasn't worried about the author missing out any quasi-scientific explanation for currently-impossible techniques. This is something that's missing from a large proportion of S.F. stories. This book has joined the select list of those I can enjoy reading several times - despite being published in a young-adult category. By the way - I guess the author assumed the existing U.K. had finally merged with the European Union and that the Royal Family had taken their remaining supporters with them into space.
