As it states this is the captains recording of the solar clipper records. Ishmael Wong is the captain and takes the Agamemnon. The Agamemnon just happens to be the worst ship in the fleet.
An entertaining following as Ishmael Wong fixes and finds what is wrong and right on the worst ship. as with the previous books this feels very right in how it progresses. Things that are institutional memory and just wrong need to be found and fixed. many of the times these could kill you if the wrong situations occure. space is a very harsh mistress.
