Warfare Qualified - A Military Science Fiction Novel

Join the Navy. See the Galaxy. Every newly-minted officer of the Icaran Confederation Navy has one goal: to earn the golden warfare device of a fully qualified Stellar Warfare Officer. In pursuit of that goal, Ensign Matthew Gilbert looks forward to a grand adventure together with his friends on the newest, most powerful ship in the fleet. Instead, a last-minute change in orders sends Matt, alone, to a backwater station and an aging ship he never would have chosen. Far from home and surrounded by an unfamiliar culture, with a crushing workload and little chance of seeing any real action, he finds himself embarked on the adventure of a lifetime, on the pointy end of his nation's spear. He just has to get qualified first. Technically detailed and accurate to Naval culture and tradition, Warfare Qualified is a fun and exciting excursion into the life of a junior officer on his first adventure in a large and dangerous galaxy.
