Will Calder is a human. He is accidentally exposed to aliens and finds himself on an alien ship due to the comparatively compassionate captain. Later Will finds himself in command of a ship. His acquisition of a crew and an end to his loneliness happen simultaneously.
This book could be seen as a plea for acceptance of those who are different. Different in that they aren't the same as you. Intolerance has sadly been more obvious the last few years. Will has to deal with sentient beings who are vastly different than he is and discovers that yet they are the same. The similarity is in wants, needs, desires and an equal desire to be useful and accepted.
It may be I read more into this than a simple action/adventure space opera but as far as I'm concerned the author succeeded in both writing an entertaining adventure and a plea for tolerance.
I recommend the book.
