Publisher's Summary
Avalon was the flagship of the Castle Federation in the last war, now 20 years past. The first of the deep space carriers, no other warship in the fleet holds as many honors or has recorded as many kills. No other warship in the fleet is as old. Accepting the inevitable, the Federation Space Navy has decided to refit her and send her on a tour of the frontier, showing the flag to their allies and enemies as a reminder of her glory - and then decommission her for good.
But Avalon has been a backwater posting for 10 years and has problems a mere refit can't fix. The systems along her planned tour have been seeing pirates for the first time in decades, and there are rumblings of Commonwealth scouting ships all along the border. It may be Avalon's final tour, but it looks to be anything but quiet.

This story doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up
To be clear on my reaction to this book, it is the first -- and will be the last -- Glynn Stewart book I have read. Starts kind of dragging but soon provides a provocative bit of crime mystery. SPOILERS.
From there it goes downhill. The 1st actual space battle is purely descriptive and utterly boring. But not the last battle in the book entirely devoid of action. Then there is a 2nd crime piece which is just a variation on the 1st, indignant male hero saves female victim. x 2. There are then long side trips into romantic navel gazing that have no relevance to or impact on the rest of book. Seems to be romantic entanglements for the sake of checking it off a to-do list. The big space war again fails to impress and the whole thing just kind of fizzle put to a ho-hum end.
I stuck with it all the way because it kept seeming like it might get good. It never does.

Formulaic and tedious
Unclear how much the author is familiar with military organizations. One dimensional plotlines. The repeated blurb at the start of each chapter is a repeated nuisance.
