Second Chances by Susan Shwartz

Description: Conrad's Lord Jim seems a natural candidate for transplantation to the harsh environment of outer space. Captain Marlow, who suffers as she watches Jim's trial for abandoning the Irian Jaya and its thousands of hibernating passengers, contrives a series of chances for Jim to leave behind his public and personal humiliation, but not until he is offered the opportunity to seek out the pirates who ambushed the Jaya does she feel any hope for him. It takes Jim to a world long abandoned and presumed to be the staging ground for a massive pirate attack.
