I read a book some time past (at least 5 years ago I think) way before I got my first ereader.
It was SF, there was a midshipman or ensign or a lieutenant j.g. or similar, anyway a very junior (space) navy officer. All the senior "watch" officers are killed in an accident when their shuttle explodes. A couple of old officers are left but the rules in that navy are that some officers (the engineer?) cannot command a spaceship.
So this youngster takes command of the ship and goes on to complete the mission.
I recall that he had to deal with insubordination and a potential mutiny but not much more.
I know it was part of a series, though I did not get to read any sequels.
I would like to read it again (and the sequels) but I really cannot remember the title or the author.
