Amazon.com Justy Ueki Tylor's transition from oblivious dim bulb to understated hero nears completion in this third collection of the original television series. When Harumi follows Raalgon commander Shia-Has's orders and infects the crew of the Soyokaze with an engineered virus, Tylor volunteers to become a hostage, rather than risk his friends' lives. It's a noble gesture, but one he wouldn't have thought to make in the first episodes. Although he's technically a prisoner of war aboard the gargantuan Raalgon flagship, Tylor escapes from his cell and fixes a midnight snack, which enables him to befriend the 16-year-old Empress Azalyn before she discovers who he is (and vice versa). Defying her evil minister Wang, Azalyn declares she'll keep Tylor alive--as a pet. Meanwhile the United Planets Space Force admirals are holding the crew of the Soyokaze in quarantine and plotting their demise. Yuriko, Harumi, and Yamamoto engineer a daring escape and set out to rescue the captain--a plan that leaves them caught between the warships of the Raalgon Empire and the UPSF. The Captain Tylor who infuriated his crew at the beginning of the series is now their beloved role model, and, like Akito in Nadesico, he's become the boy every girl in the crew has a crush on--a very unusual metamorphosis. Unrated; suitable for ages 12 and up: sexual humor, minor nudity, violence, alcohol use. --Charles Solomon
