I think I liked this one, too. So many books in the series, they blend together. Read the series review for my less-than-unequivocal recommendation. the TL;DR: great space battles, well-written interpersonal conflict, but lots of very similar books.

There’s a lot of ways to play with time-loss in Sci-Fi, but I can’t think of any other that pulls a lost hero from a life pod. It’s a unique angle and makes for a very enjoyable first book, especially because the author continues to thrust him into bad situation after bad situation. The best part of the whole series are the space battles, which are described in exacting detail.
