A good overview and introoduction to the Eagle's crew along with physical descriptions that help draw the characters into focus and bits of interaction.

Also an interesting tradition. 

Owens' daddy issues are an interesting character device and may both spur him as a captain and at the same time give him confidence issues that could be dangerous under various circumstances. Fun to see this interaction.

Thanks!! rbs

Author's Response: With Eagle I early on made the call that I didn't want to do the whole starting from day one thing, where we see the crew assemble and leave space dock for the first time. A little bit like Hunter, i guess, which you started off right in the middle of the action. So instead, this crew already knows each other fairly well after having worked and lived together for a year. Still the reader doesn't know them yet so introductions are in order. You'll find not all characters get their moment in the spotlight in this tale, since the plot didn't necessarily allow for that. As you can likely tell, Michael's relationship with his father is a bit of an ongoing theme in Star Eagle which reaches its zenith in Quantum Divergence.
