About this book

Daniel Leary is a lieutenant in the Republic of Cinnabar Navy with no money and no prospects since he quarreled with his ruthless politically powerful father. Adele Mundy is a scholar with no money and no prospects since her family was massacred for conspiring against the Government of Cinnabar. Kostroma is a wealthy planet which depends on diplomacy to stay independent in a galaxy whose two great powers Cinnabar and the Alliance battle for supremacy. In a few hours diplomacy is going to fail Kostroma. Daniel Adele and the scratch crew they gather arent much to stand in the way of a powerful invasion fleet but just possibly theyre enough.
