It's worth a read, although it's quite old now and has a few tropes "of their time" (as they now put on the TV warnings) it actually holds up really well and hasn't dated as badly as most other sci fi things written back in the 60's and 70's. It's more space opera than hard sci fi, but Anderson was a great writer - I always think of the Flandry series as "Flashman in Space" 😁
