Recalls nothing so much as The Caine Mutiny in space, and it attains the same high level of achievement.”
- Booklist
In A Just Determination, John Hemry catches the soul of a space navy in this treatment of an ensign’s first space-side tour of duty. Hemry explores gallantry, honor, duty, and patriotism – as well as their opposites — in a book where both the court scenes and the space-chase scenes are page turners. Not your ordinary space combat adventure, by any means.”
- Steve Miller, Co-author of the award-winning Liaden Universe(R)
Young Paul Sinclair is exactly the kind of guy you want to serve with, and exactly the kind of reluctant hero that great series are made from.”
- Ernest Lilley, SFRevu
One of the more worthwhile and provocative novels to come my way in 2003…A Just Determination is that most unusual of military stories: one unabashedly pro-service that still acknowledges the too-human flaws in the system and the moral dilemmas commonly faced in military life.”

Hemry is the real thing…
thrilling excitement on every page.”
- CAPT. David E. Meadows, USN, author of The Sixth Fleet and Joint Task Force series.
John G. Hemry has an interesting series going in his tales of Paul Sinclair in the US space navy. . . If you crave a legalistic space-Hornblower, you’ll enjoy this one and you’ll forward to what he gets into next.”
