Space Brigade by James Marriott is a short science fiction novel with elements that slightly resembles a cross between Star Trek and Babylon Five. Space battles on and off planets and politics are the main theme of the book.

Many space travelling species are supportive members for the regulatory board called 'The Coalition', which is backed by a superior fighting force. Unfortunately, several war-minded species are not members of the group and are bent on causing trouble. The battle begins when an important ambassador of the Tantee nation is captured by the notoriously evil Quat-tar. The fear that the Quat-tar may force the ambassador to reveal vital defense secrets causes great alarm. The decision to either rescue or eliminate the ambassador is made and the adventure begins.

This is certainly a fast-paced book that reads like the author had intended it for the big screen.
