About this ebook
David Drake [is] the reason a lot of people got started reading military science fiction, because it's always a good idea to start with the best.--David Weber
When the Republic of Cinnabar doesn't have enough battleships to deal with all the crises in its war with the Alliance, it sends the next best thing: Commander Daniel Leary and his friend, the spy Adele Mundy. This time they're off to help the Bagarian cluster in its rebellion against the Alliance, but they'll quickly find that the worst threats to the rebels are the treacherous politicians.
Leary and Mundy use electronic espionage, sub-machine guns, and shipkilling missiles to outwit political rivals, put down mutiny, and capture an Alliance fortress. When all else fails, they'll strike for the heart of the Alliance--and then throw their tiny corvette into a major fleet action.
David Drake
David Drake (born 1945) sold his first story (a fantasy) at age 20. His undergraduate majors at the University of Iowa were history (with honors) and Latin (BA, 1967). He uses his training in both subjects extensively in his fiction. David entered Duke Law School in 1967 and graduated five years later (JD, 1972). The delay was caused by his being drafted into the US Army. He served in 1970 as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the Blackhorse, in Viet Nam and Cambodia. He has used his legal and particularly his military experiences extensively in his fiction also. David practiced law for eight years; drove a city bus for one year; and has been a full-time freelance writer since 1981, writing such novels as Out of the Waters and Monsters of the Earth. He reads and travels extensively.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another 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!
