Honest, stand-up space opera. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It would be a standard Marines in space number except for the fact that the heroine is a precog - this only one of a number of special talents. She uses her varied gifts to get herself and her unit through all sorts of extremely awkward situations.
In the course of book one of the series, we see her through basic training after her enlistment on her eighteenth birthday to a field commission and awards for valor granted by the hand of the (nearest analog) vice-president of the government of earth (picture the final scene of the original Star Wars film). She is probably about twenty at that point.
In her spare time, she writes letters to people to make sure that they are in the right place at the right time to protect the future of the entire galaxy. Oh yes, and it seems that she may not be entirely human, sort of.
Apparently, the next book is not yet out, although there is a long excerpt at the end of book one - is a book really out if it is not yet available at Amazon? If a tree falls ...
