Another rollicking adventure featuring Daniel Leary and Adele Mundy as they defend Cinnabar from the forces of the Alliance of Free Stars and corrupt politicians who want to see him and his to fail.

The war between the Republic of Cinnabar and the Alliance of Free Stars (hah!!) is stretching both sides to the breaking point. When the Bagarian Cluster rebels against the Alliance, the RCN doesn't have any fleets to send in to aid the rebels so they do the next best thing and send Daniel Leary, Adele Mundy and the crew of the Princess Cecilia to see what they can do to help but they find the locals had their own agendas in this rebellion (so what's new?). But what the locals hadn't taken into account was Daniel's past record of success and his unwillingness to be beaten. Even if his plan involves taking on the might of the planetary defences ro9und the home world of the Alliance itself! (

Book description

The fast-paced sixth adventure of Republic of Cinnabar Space Navy officers Daniel Leary and Lady Adele Mundy (after 2006's Some Golden Harbor) finds Leary in a precarious position. When his patron falls ill and is replaced as chief of the Navy Board by a hostile admiral, Leary expects to be placed on the inactive list despite the ongoing war between Cinnabar and the Alliance of Free Stars. Instead he finds himself assigned to shore up the navy of the Independent Republic of Bagaria, a frontier system that broke away from the Alliance and now looks to Cinnabar for aid. With no resources other than his own ship and crew, shackled with allies more dangerous than the enemy, Leary must find a way to relieve besieged Cinnabaran forces. Drake has always been known for his ultrarealistic depiction of combat and its aftermath, and he's at the top of his form. (Mar.)
